The Week Ahead
Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week. Week commencing 2 August
Joshua Mahony’s insight
Another busy week ahead, with both economic and corporate earnings playing a significant role in driving volatility as we move through the week. Central banks will once again be in focus as the RBA and BoE release their latest rate decisions, while the week ends with the latest US jobs report.
On the corporate front, earnings data from the likes of HSBC, BP, Fresnillo, and Taylor Wimpey bring updates across a wide spectrum of the economy. In the US, keep an eye out for data from Uber, Virgin Galactic, and Moderna. Week ahead video.

Dividends
FTSE 100: Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser
FTSE 250: Avon, CMC Markets, Tyman, Games Workshop, FDM Group, Man, Tritax, GCP Infrastructure Investments
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.
