The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 4 October
Joshua Mahony’s insight
The week ahead brings a continued focus on energy markets, with OPEC kick starting proceedings on Monday. Central banks come back into focus, with the RBA rate decision on Tuesday. The focus then shifts towards the US, with employment data starting on Wednesday and culminating with Friday’s jobs report release. On the corporate front, Tesco and Levi Strauss provide two particular areas of focus given the potential for commentary around logistics and rising input prices. Video.

FTSE 250: Weir, Spectris, Bodycote, Morgan Sindall, Murray Int’l Trust, Synthomer, Vistry
Dividends are applied after the close of the previous day’s session for each market. So, for example, the FTSE 100 goes ex-dividend on a Thursday, but the adjustment is applied at the close of the previous day, e.g. Wednesday. The table below shows the days in which the adjustment is applied, not the ex-dividend days.
