The Week Ahead

Week commencing 24 July
Chris Beauchamp's insight
This week is again dominated by earnings season in the US, which continues with technology companies such as Alphabet, Microsoft and Intel. Rate decisions by the Federal Reserve (Fed), European Central Bank’s (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) in the latter part of the week will also be closely monitored. Flash purchasing managers index (PMI), consumer sentiment, US and French preliminary second quarter (Q2) gross domestic product (GDP) as well as German consumer price index (CPI) and US personal consumption expenditure price index (PCE) price inflation data will likely add some volatility to the mix.

Dividends
FTSE 100: SSE
FTSE 250: Qinetiq, NB Private Equity, Monks Inv Trust, Bankers Inv Trust, City of London Inv Trust
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.
