Week commencing 28 November
Chris Beauchamp's insight
US jobs data dominates the week, as we await the latest job creation figures and pay data. We also have purchasing managers index (PMI) data from China, as debate continues over whether that economy will be able to continue with its reopening plans following the rise in Covid-19 cases. Corporate news is quiet, with only budget airline easyJet of note this week.

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.
