The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 12 June
Chris Beauchamp's insight
After a quiet week for markets on the events front (save for surprise hikes from the Bank of Canada and the Reserve Bank of Australia), this week sees the trio of the Federal Reseve (Fed), European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of Japan (BoJ) make rate decisions. Expectations are for a hold from the Fed, a rise from the ECB and a hold at the BoJ. We also have US consumer price index (CPI) on the calendar, with expectations of a decline in price growth currently dominating. Equity news is quieter, but full-year numbers from Ashtead and a trading update from Tesco will provide interest.

FTSE 250: Computacenter, 3i Infrastructure, Pets at Home, Intermediate Capital, AVI Global Trust, Warehouse REIT, Digital 9, LXI REIT
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.
