Week commencing 27 December
Chris Beauchamp’s insight
The next two weeks are, as is usual, quite. Only Nike on 20 December is of note on the corporate front. Meanwhile, US durable goods orders in the first week, and then Chinese PMI data right at the end of the year, provide the only real major economic events to watch. Video

Dividends
FTSE 100: BT
FTSE 250: Grainger, Currys, JPMorgan Japanese Inv Trust, Schroder AsiaPacific Fund
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.
