Week commencing 19 September

Chris Beauchamp's insight

Three central bank meetings dominate the week, with the UK’s Bank of England (BoE) and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise rates in response to high inflation. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) also meets, but no change is expected there. Flash PMIs dominate the end of the week, while in the UK investors will watch to see the new chancellor lay out tax cuts and other measures to help citizens with the rising cost of living. Major corporate news includes updates from Tui, Compass and Frasers Group in the UK, and FedEx in the US.

FTSE 100: Hargreaves Lansdown

FTSE 250: Crest Nicholson, Essentra, HgCapital Trust, JTC, Redrow

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.
