The Week Ahead

Week commencing 1 November
Joshua Mahony’s insight
A busy week ahead sees the big focus on central banks and US jobs. Rate decisions from the Reserve Bank of Australia, Federal Reserve, and Bank of England bring expectations of FX volatility. Meanwhile, the release of US ADP payrolls, and unemployment claims pave the way for Friday’s jobs report. From a corporate perspective, earnings season continues in full flow. In Europe, watch out for figures from the likes of Ryanair, BP, BT and Sainsburys. Meanwhile, the US earnings look set to be dominated by the likes of Lyft, Starbucks, Moderna, and T-Mobile.

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.
