Friday Email: 05 September 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 is flat on the week. The S&P 500 is up 0.28% and the Stoxx 600 is down 0.49%.
The past week has been quiet as expected from a reporting perspective. Monday saw a mini crash due to unease in the bond markets as long dated yields rose to multi year highs. There was no follow up on Tuesday and by Thursday equity markets had recovered all of Monday's losses. Equity investors should keep an eye on bond market developments.
The week ahead picks up slightly from a reporting perspective after recent subdued levels of activity.
Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 2% from the single dividend we have Gulf Keystone Petroleum (4.6%), DSW Capital (3.5%) and M&G for 2.6%.
The Friday email is delivered to over 20,000 subscriber’s every week, and remains a widely read run-down of recent events and what investors can expect in the week ahead written by our chief analyst Mark Riding.
