''I'd rather have the money in my pocket than Lloyds BOD sitting on it!''
The only way for that, is for people is to keep the money in their pocket, rather than spending it on shares and thus putting their money into the hands of others.
I am sure the money is burning a hole in the Lloyds pocket and will find its way to a new home at the latest by May 2022.
Analysts at investment bank MUFG have raised their forecasts for the British Pound in light of a sustained fall in UK Covid-19 cases which they say will ultimately allow the Bank of England to raise interest rates in 2022.
Upside potential for economic growth therefore lies with the consumers and businesses rediscovering some of that confidence lost to the third wave.
"We have adjusted our GBP profile modestly higher reflecting our belief that the recent data is meaningful and the implications are not yet fully priced into the market," says Hardman.

Livestock, looking good today , Gadge yes nice bit of money to be sat in imho
The FTSE 100 is expected to start higher on Wednesday as investors await fresh PMI readings from the UK and the US.
Spread-betters IG expect the blue-chip index to open up around 13 points after ending Tuesday’s session 24 points higher at 7,105
Okey Kokey ;-)
Its a handy trinity to look out for warning signs tho
ATB and Good luck

As i said, no need to look at the individual variables, the markets are taking everything on board in real time.
LTI
Price of oil tanked at luchtime 2.5% ish
Dragged the market down with it
Steady climb back up along with the market
:-)
ATB
oil at 70.4
Cable at 1.391
US 10 yr at 1.175%
Just looked - the dow is up to 35,066

I wouldn't bother - just look at the indices.
In recent times (5 years) we have had 3.25% 10 year, we have had 0.5% 10 year
we have had Cable at 1.18, we have had Cable at 1.42
we have had oil at about 75 dollars, we have had oil briefly negative.
All in the period of 3% increase in Ftse 100 and the S&P 500 doubling, up almost in a straight line except for the Covid blip.
LTI
Learn the relationship between the 3 of them and it gives you a bit of an idea which way the markets will go on a daily basis.
IMO ATB
What a great trading opportunity missed today (complete gamble coin toss based on nothing though) - there have been so many over the last few week's but there will come the time when it doesn't drop back so I'm reluctant try and trade currently.
''What happens across the pond has a knock on effect here''
S&P 500 has doubled in the last 5 years with the Ftse 100 up about 3% in the same period.
poo ten yr yeilds and price of dollar is a good indicator to where the markets will go .What happens across the pond has a knock on effect here
imo ATB
I believe the S&P index is calculated in a similar way to the Ftse 100 unlike the DJ
"Manipulated dip or is the USA opening down?! All over the place lately."
Notice I stated USA not DOW.
The Ftse 100 is probably at half the P/E ratio than that of the Dow
dc
I think you should be looking at the S&P 500 for that not the Dow
Lti the Dow Jones is the barometer of the health of the us economy and by proxy the health of the economic outlook of the rest of the world
Don't know why Lloyds shareholders would get obsessed with the level of the Dow Jones on a daily basis.
FYI - at the moment the Dow is due to open a little up.
I am not concerned with the valuation the market puts on companies such as coca cola,Caterpillar.Apple, Home depot etc etc. when it comes to Lloyds bank.
Manipulated dip or is the USA opening down?! All over the place lately.

The watchword is 'caution' - yes the first half has been good - a repeat in profits in the 2nd half would leave the share price at the current level on a low multiple.
It is not game over for the pandemic . Hopefully we have gone through the worst of the effects in the UK (still need more people double vaccinated though) .
Huge profit is currently not being distributed to its rightful owners due to having a stand in CEO - that couldn't have happened at a worse time for us.
If USA rises we will close plus 47p

"if the HUGE profits aren't a driving force, I don't know what is"
That's exactly it, everyone knows about the HUGE profits, yet the SP is not commensurate with the HUGE profits?
