Friday Email: 05 April 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 fallen 467 points (5.37%) over the past week. The S&P 500 is down 4.98% and the Stoxx 600 is down 7.3%. Markets have reacted very badly to the U.S. Government's tariff plans with many observers commenting that the plans are a disaster for World trade.

The past week has been quiet from a reporting perspective and the week ahead is quiet too.

Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 4% from the single dividend we have International Personal Finance (5.4%), Man Group (4.7%), ITV (4.5%), TP ICAP (4.5%), Aviva (4.3%) and CLS Holdings for 4.3%.
