Chris Beauchamp’s insight
A quieter week ahead is expected as the busy corporate and economic calendars thin out. However, US CPI and UK GDP provide interest for FX markets, while in earnings, Disney, BT and Burberry are all names to watch out for.

Dividends are applied after the close of the previous day’s session for each market.

The table below shows the days in which the adjustment is applied, not the ex-dividend days.
