The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 22 January
Chris Beauchamp's insight
While the economic week begins quietly, it rapidly fills up with events, including rate decisions from the Bank of Japan (BoJ), the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the European Central Bank (ECB). Flash price manager index (PMIs) for January are also released, and the first look at US gross domestic product (GDP) for Quarter-four (Q4) is bound to be a key event. Earnings season returns with a vengeance too, as Netflix and Tesla mark the start of reporting season for the big tech stocks that were so vital to the market rally in 2023, while the season begins to broaden out beyond the bank stocks that dominated the past week.

Dividends
FTSE 100:
FTSE 250: Foresight Solar, Pennon, Victrex, Ferrexpo
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.
