Week commencing 29 January
Chris Beauchamp's insight
Earnings season reaches full flow this week, as the rest of the Magnificent 7 Big Tech firms report – Apple, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft all populate the week and will be the key focus for investors around the globe.
In addition to this, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will also issue its latest rate decision, though no change is expected. The Bank of England (BoE) also gets in on the act, and after the latest UK inflation reading it might find itself having to err on the hawkish side.
Gross domestic product (GDP) readings from the eurozone come through this week, with the German reading on Wednesday likely to command particular attention.
Finally, the week is rounded off by the monthly US non-farm payrolls report, with the ADP report preceding it as usual. All in all, it promises to be a busy time for investors.

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.
