LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) -Shares globally slipped on Wednesday as the investors stayed wary ahead of the U.S. election, while British stocks fell as the UK government unveiled major tax hikes, and gold hit a record high in the wider risk-off mood.

With tepid appetite for risk, the Euro STOXX 600 .STOXX fell 1.3% to its lowest in five weeks, with bad news on earnings news outweighing brighter reports. Italian spirit maker Campari CPRI.MI slumped 15% after missing forecasts.

Investors were also digested a slew of economic data. The euro zone grew faster than expected last quarter, data showed, though the outlook remains weak in part due to threats of tariffs from a potential Donald Trump presidency.

In the U.S., data showed the economy had maintained a steady pace of third-quarter growth.

British stocks .FTSE fell as much as 0.7% to their lowest in over 11 weeks as UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said she would raise taxes by 40 billion pounds a year ($52 billion) in her first budget.

The pound GBP=D3 extended losses against the dollar and slipped against the euro, during Reeves' speech, while yields on British government bonds also fell. Sterling traders had rushed to hedge against big price moves ahead of the UK budget.

"When it comes to macro, and the impact of geopolitics on macro, things look in decent shape," said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Swiss private bank Lombard Odier in Geneva.

"The only question investors have in mind is how are the U.S. elections going to impact or challenge this kind of current state of affairs."

U.S. FOCUS

Wall Street futures NQc1, ESc1 turned negative, as investors weighed mixed corporate results and the economic data.

Futures has been buoyed by a solid result from Google-parent Alphabet GOOGL.O, which reported quarterly revenue that beat estimates. But semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O dropped 7.6% in premarket trading after its revenue forecasts and AI chip sales disappointed investors.

Other chipmakers also slipped, with Nvidia NVDA.O down 0.9% and Intel INTC.O losing 1%.

Meanwhile, gold XAU= rose to an all-time high of $2,784.82 an ounce, while the dollar gained 0.2% to trade near a three-month high against a basket of currencies =USD.

Among riskier assets, bitcoin BTC= was one of few gainers, flirting with a record peak as markets weigh the prospect of a victory by Trump, widely seen as favourable towards crypto.

Facebook owner Meta Platforms META.O and Microsoft MSFT.O report their earnings later in the day, followed by Apple AAPL.O and Amazon.com AMZN.O on Thursday. .N

U.S. private payrolls growth surged in October, despite fears of temporary disruptions from hurricanes and strikes, the ADP National Employment Report showed.

Data on Tuesday had showed U.S. job openings dropped to more than a 3-1/2-year low in September.

Earlier in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS fell 0.8% to a one-month low, tracking a decline in Chinese assets.

Next week's U.S. election could have huge ramifications for the world's second-largest economy, even as Beijing steps up efforts to shore up growth.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that China is considering approving the issuance of more than 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) in extra debt in the next few years to revive its fragile economy.

"Foreign investors are still highly concerned about potential tariff threats if next week's U.S. elections result in a Republican sweep," said Saxo's chief investment strategist Charu Chanana.

In commodities, Brent crude futures LCOc1 ticked up 1.5% to $72.17 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 rose 1.3% to $68.05 per barrel. O/R
