Chris Beauchamp's insight
US earnings season begins this week, providing the main driver of activity for the next month or so in equity markets. US consumer price index (CPI) is also on the calendar for the week, along with producer price inflation. Chinese inflation and UK gross domestic product (GDP) round out the week of major events.

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.
