Week commencing 10 April
Chris Beauchamp's insight
This week begins quietly, but with US and China consumer price index (CPI) on the list for the week, plus the beginning of earnings season, things will heat up quite quickly. The latest round of US earnings promises to dominate the second half of April and the beginning of May, and with banks reporting first as usual markets will want to see what effects the March banking crisis has had on the 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.
