The Week Ahead

Week commencing 25 July
Chris Beauchamp’s insight
Earnings season is in full swing, on both sides of the Atlantic, and investors and traders may well find themselves hard-pushed to keep up with the avalanche of updates that are scheduled for the week to come. Big tech reports in the US, plus a host of others, along with UK banks, miners and airlines.
To cap all that, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to raise rates by 75 basis points (bps), another large rise, with a possibility that Powell & co will emulate the Bank of Canada (BoC) and go for the full percentage point rise. In addition, the first estimate on quarter two (Q2) US gross domestic product (GDP) is also published.

Dividends
FTSE 100: SSE
FTSE 250: Qinetiq, Bytes Technology, Moneysupermarket.com
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.
