The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 4 September
Chris Beauchamp's insight
US Labor Day ensures a quieter start to the week, but rate decisions from the Australian and Canadian central banks and the US ISM services purchasing managers index (PMI) will be worth watching later on. UK corporate news dominates, including earnings from Ashtead and Barratt Developments.

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.
