Week commencing 2 October
Chris Beauchamp's insight
An The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate decision and the monthly US payroll reports are the main events this week. Also key will be the ISM purchasing managers index (PMI) figures in the US. A quieter period for earnings (ahead of the start of earnings season the following week) nonetheless has first-half figures from Tesco to watch.

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.
