The Week Ahead

Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week

Week commencing 1 July

Chris Beauchamp's insight

US non-farm payrolls and the US election dominate the week ahead, though eurozone markets will be digesting the impact of the first round French elections that take place on 30 June, with the second round occurring on 7 July. Also on the calendar for the week are the monthly ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures. Meanwhile trading updates from Primark owner Associated British Foods and supermarket Sainsbury’s provide the only interest in a light week for corporate news.
