The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week
Week commencing 19 February
Chris Beauchamp's insight
The Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes, flash purchasing managers index (PMI) data and the German Ifo index are the main economic events to watch for this week. Earnings season is beginning to wind down, but Nvidia, the last of the Magnificent 7 to report, releases earnings this week, which will be closely watched now that the company has overtaken Amazon in market value. UK banks, miners and aerospace firm Rolls-Royce all release full-year figures this week as well.

FTSE 250: Virgin Money, easyJet, Redrow, Witan Inv Trust, Tritax Eurobox
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.
