Chris Beauchamp's insight
This week is dominated by earnings season in the US, which continues with banks such as Goldman Sachs, as well as electric car manufacturer Tesla and streaming service Netflix. UK data such as consumer price index (CPI) and retail sales will be important given the recent surge in GBP/USD.

FTSE 250: Ninety One, Bytes Technology, Cranswick, Pennon, Foresight Solar, Telecom Plus
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.
* Please note these can change without notice
* Dividend adjustments due to be posted on a bank holiday will usually be posted on the previous working day
