Chris Beauchamp's insight
US and UK inflation are the main economic data points to watch this week, along with the monthly German ZEW index. Growth is also in focus with the first look at quarter 4 (Q4) gross domestic product (GDP) for the UK and Japan. Key earnings to watch include Cisco in the US and then Natwest in the UK, the latter kicking off the reporting period for UK banks.

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.
