The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 21 March
Chris Beauchamp’s insight
UK CPI, monthly flash PMIs and the German IFO index are among the key events of the week ahead. Now that the central banks are out of the way, attention will likely return to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Corporate events are relatively thin on the ground this week, although full-year numbers from UK retailer Next will be a key driver for the retailing sector.

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.
