Friday Email: 03 January 2025

Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 has made a good start to the new year rising 111 points (1.37%) in the past 5 days of trading. The S&P 500 is down 2.6% and the Stoxx 600 is up 1.48%.

The past week has been very quiet from a reporting perspective and the week ahead will also be very quiet.

Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with a yield in excess of 3% from the single dividend we have Smiths News (5.1% Ordinary Final) and 3% Special.
