Week commencing 14 February
Chris Beauchamp’s insight
UK data takes centre stage with CPI, employment data and retail sales. In addition, US PPI will also be worth watching. After the latest US CPI figure this week’s Fed minutes might not add anything else, especially given how some regional Fed chiefs have issued statements on the outlook for rates. Earnings season in the US is winding down, but Standard Chartered and Natwest earnings mark the beginning of reporting season for UK banks.

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.
