"There will be plenty of interesting activity on the financial markets linked to all sorts of industries over the coming days."
A short week thanks to the bank holiday weekend but a busy one nonetheless, with plenty of trading statements and reports on the way...
This week's company reports
Plenty of trading statements are scheduled for publication over the next few days, so spread bettors with a Tradefair Plus account should keep an eye out to see how they will affect how their bets pan out.
On Tuesday, Antofagasta Holdings, Bunzl, Regus and WPP publish their Q2 results, while statements from Stagecoach and Petrofac are also lined up.
Wednesday sees the release of second quarter statements from Cape and Kenmare Resources, while interim results will come from John Laing Infrastructure Fund and Talvivaara Mining Company.
In addition, half-year results from 888 Holdings and annual results from Air New Zealand will also be published. Other names issuing trading statements tomorrow include Cambian, APR Energy, Chime Communications, Evraz, Grafton, Foxtons, Polymetal International and Hansteen.
Thursday is a particularly busy day, with the likes of Melrose Industries, Arrow Global, Gulf Marine Services, IP Group, Hays, Marshalls and Lamprell lifting the lid on their recent performances.
Trading statements from Nostrum Oil & Gas, Paddy Power, Playtech, Petropavlovsk, Salamander Energy, SOCO International, STV Group, Servelec, UNITE and Xaar also lined up for publication.
Finally, Friday will see releases from Chesnara, Berendsen, Bwin.party, Headlam, Computacenter, Lavendon, Stobart and The Restaurant Group.
So it looks as if there will be plenty of interesting activity on the financial markets linked to all sorts of industries over the coming days.
Housing market data to be issued
A few upcoming reports should help us get a good idea of what conditions in the housing market are like now - which might offer an insight into how well the wider economy is doing at the moment.
On Wednesday, the Council of Mortgage Lenders releases its Regional Lending Trends report for London, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which contains figures for the second quarter of 2014.
Meanwhile, the Land Registry publishes its market trend data for July 2014 and its monthly house price index.
Wednesday also sees the release of the Nationwide Building Society's latest house price figures for August 2014.
Of course, the summer is traditionally a quiet time for the housing market, so the figures might not necessarily be entirely reflective of conditions in the market and the prevailing mood among consumers right now.
Nevertheless, they could still offer some valuable pointers as to which way the sector is likely to go as we move into autumn.
Other reports set for release
A number of other reports that are scheduled for publication this week could be useful for spread bettors who are monitoring conditions in certain industries, as well as the wider economy.
For example, the CBI will release its Quarterly Distributive Trades Survey on Thursday. On the same day, BEA publishes its second quarter estimates of gross domestic product, while the European Central Bank will issue its national balance sheet of euro area monetary financial institutions, excluding the eurosystem, for July 2014.
The week rounds off with the Office for National Statistics publishing its provisional results for business investment in the second quarter of the year, as well as an economic briefing report from the British Retail Consortium.
