The Week Ahead Read about upcoming market-moving events and plan your trading week Week commencing 26 February Chris Beauchamp's insight The second estimate of US quarter four (Q4) gross domestic product (GDP) growth, the Federal Reserve's (Fed’s) preferred PCE inflation gauge and Germany’s consumer price inflation (CPI) are the main economic events to watch for this week. US new home sales, durable goods orders, personal income, consumer confidence, also in Germany, Eurozone economic sentiment, Japanese retail sales, industrial production and unemployment data as well as Chinese manufacturing and services purchasing managers index (PMI) will likely play second fiddle to the main data releases. Earnings season is beginning to wind down, now that Nvidia, the last of the Magnificent 7, released its stellar earnings last week. Stock index rallies to record highs by several European and US bourses may thus lose some of their upside momentum. In the UK Bunzl, Ocado and Taylor Wimpey are to report their full-year figures, in Europe Munich Re, Just Eat Takeaway and IAG will do so as well and in the US Hewlett Packard Q1 and Best Buy Q4 earnings, some of which may provide additional volatility.

Hi @Ikechukwu, This is a recent change and business decision made, all the FTSE 350 indices on closings only will no longer be offered on our platform. Thanks, KoketsoIG

@cate, No worries, it's all a pleasure. Don't worry about bothering us; we are here for all your queries. 😊 Thanks, KoketsoIG

Dear @Minde1, Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please report any chart spikes and gaps to helpdesk.uk@ig.com so our technical team can resolve. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Hey There! @Ikechukwu, Are you referring to the FTSE 350 Oil Equipment & Services and the Fixed Line Communications Indices with the telephone symbol next to them? Just to clarify, we are only allowing closings in these markets and not accepting new positions. If anything changes, we'll keep you updated. Thank you for your understanding! Thanks, KoketsoIG

This is the E1 contract from an IG France account. All the best, KoketsoIG

Dear @cate, We're sorry to hear you didn't like the new platform. The old platform is being decommissioned, so we recommend using the new one. You can find the same markets by using the search function. For example, when I typed 'crude oil' on both platforms. To select the desired contract on the new platform, simply click on the market you want and then choose from the dropdown menu. The E1 contract is only available for Europe accounts, not UK accounts on both platforms. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Hi @Omegaguy123, Please note that this is due to the higher broker margin requirements which will need to be transferred to the client and make leveraged trading unfeasible. Thanks, KoketsoIG

@BoomBustInvest, Thank you for your feedback, we have sent it to the web platform team to consider when updating the platform features. Thanks, KoketsoIG

Please see the expected dividend adjustment figures for a number of our major indices for the week commencing 26th Feb 2024. These are projected dividends and are likely to change. IG cannot be held responsible for any changes made. Dividends highlighted in red include a special dividend, therefore some or all of the amount will not be adjusted. The amount in brackets is the expected adjustment after special dividends are excluded (where shown on major indices). Dividend adjustments due to be posted on a bank holiday will usually be posted on the previous working day. If you have any queries or questions on this please let us know in the comments section below. For further information regarding dividend adjustments, and how they affect your positions, please take a look at the video. How do dividend adjustments work?
