Barclays Share Chat (BARC)

FTSE 100 plunged after Andy Burnham’s campaign to return to Westminster triggered turmoil in bond markets.

Britain’s flagship stock market fell 1.7pc – the biggest drop since the first weeks of the Iran war – as UK government borrowing costs rose to their highest level since 1998 in the wake of Mr Burnham’s leadership push.

Bank stocks dropped by more than 2pc over concerns of potential taxes on profits while utility company shares plummeted by as much as 7.6pc over fears they could be nationalised.

I'm no expert but think your figures/numbers may be a bit out. Barclays/JPM have finished the £1 billion buy back and will/have started the £500 million buy back.

I may be wrong, not starting a discussion on accuracy but just info from the Internet......f@"k off Trump!!

I done the same and it's now doubled

Wish Trump would f@#k off.....sp would be up another 50p.......its still doing its little dance!

There are £3-6 million share buy back each day, manged by JPM. See little downside or upside for a while as JPM will maintain a steady price range to do the buy back which will last quite a few months to complete 500 million buy back. Of course it will be also influenced by the general market condition such as Trump's actions, etc.

The Tories want a market crash....

Keir Starmer is not going to resign. The banking sector is affected by worries of change of leadership by a left winger. Frankly speaking, change to a new leader will not matter much in Labour's fortune except annoying disruption. Politicians wish to play politics all the time, to satisfy personal ambitions. it wil.l pass shortly

Some of the holders will be shaken off by the consistant SP falls. Noticed some O big buys rather than a lot of A trades. Some smart contrarian investors when there is fear in the market.

Price way down apparently because of political turmoil! Logically then we've got 2+ more years of Barc in the doldrums. Burnham isn't going to wave a magic wand!!!

Share buy back in a rising market will buy fewer shares. Still half billion to go.

Trump tells Iran to sign deal with US or ‘the whole country is going to get blown up’

‘We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!’ the president wrote on Truth Social...

DYOR

• as part of the mou, iran would be allowed to have nuclear research reactors for the production of medical isotopes, but would pledge that all of its nuclear facilities would be above ground. the existing underground facilities would remain out of commission.

the mou also deals with the strait of hormuz, though the sources said there are still significant gaps on that issue.

• it's unclear if the mou refers to iran's ballistic missiles and its support for regional proxies.

• israel and republican hawks in washington have previously demanded that those topics be on the table in any negotiations with iran.

• republicans and trump himself also lambasted president obama for releasing tens of billions in iranian funds under the 2015 nuclear deal. the trump administration may insist on limiting how the unfrozen assets can be used.

what they're saying: "iran has moved. but not far enough. what it takes to make them move forward, we will see," the second u.s. official said.

• "iran clearly wants the $20 billion — and a lot more. they clearly want to sell oil at free-market rates without sanctions. they want to participate in the global financial system. but they also want to have this nuclear weapons program. they want to fund terrorists like hamas. and they don't want to give that up enough to get the things we're offering," the official added.

• white house spokesperson anna kelly said talks had been "productive" but the u.s. would "not negotiate through the press," adding: "anonymous sources who claim to know about sensitive diplomatic discussions have no idea what they are talking about."

• sen. lindsey graham (r-s.c.) told fox news that trump had negotiated spoken directly with the iranians and that things got "sporty" on a recent call.

trump told reporters on thursday that iran had agreed during the negotiations to commit to "a very, very powerful statement... that they will not have nuclear weapons."

• he also said iran agreed to give the u.s. "the nuclear dust," referring to the enriched uranium stockpile.

• "we are very close to making a deal. if no deal, fire resumes," trump said.

• he made clear he was willing to extend the ceasefire beyond its april 21 expiration if needed.

what to watch: on friday, the ****stani, egyptian and turkish mediators will hold a meeting a "quad" meeting with saudi officials on the sidelines of a diplomatic forum in turkey.

• the meeting will focus on the efforts to broker a deal between the u.s. and iran.

...cash-for-uranium deal with iran

the u.s. and iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war, with one element under discussion being that the u.s. would release $20 billion in frozen iranian funds in return for iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium, according to two u.s. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks.

why it matters: there has been steady progress in the talks this week, though significant gaps remain. a deal on these terms would bring the war to a close, while potentially generating backlash from iran hawks.

• president trump said thursday that u.s. and iranian negotiators would likely meet this weekend for a second round of talks to try to seal the deal.

• the talks are expected to take place in islamabad, likely on sunday, according to a source familiar with the mediation efforts.

• ****stan is mediating the negotiations, with behind-the-scenes support from egypt and turkey.

breaking it down: a top priority for the trump administration is ensuring iran can't access the stockpile of nearly 2,000kg of enriched uranium buried in its underground nuclear facilities, in particular the 450kg enriched to 60% purity.

• the iranians, meanwhile, need money.

• the parties are negotiating over what will happen to the stockpile, and how much of iran's assets will be unfrozen. they are also discussing the terms on which iran could use that money.

update: trump wrote on truth social after this story published that "no money will change hands," though he didn't refer specifically to the idea of unblocking iranian funds.

zoom in: according to two sources, the u.s was ready in an earlier stage of the negotiations to release $6 billion for iran to purchase food, medicine and other humanitarian supplies. the iranians demanded $27 billion.

• the latest number discussed by the u.s. and iran is $20 billion, the sources said. one u.s. official said that was a u.s. proposal. the other u.s. official described the cash-for-uranium concept as "one of many discussions."

• meanwhile, the u.s. asked iran to agree to ship all its nuclear material to the u.s., while the iranians only agreed to "down-blend" it inside iran.

• under a compromise proposal now under discussion, some of the highly enriched uranium would be shipped to a third country, not necessarily the u.s., and some of it would be down-blended in iran under international monitoring.

the intrigue: the three-page memorandum of understanding (mou) the two sides are negotiating over also includes a "voluntary" moratorium on nuclear enrichment by iran.

• the u.s. demanded in the last round of talks that iran agree to a 20-year moratorium. iran countered with five years. the mediators are still trying to close the gap.

Its researchers noted it was a powerful tool able to find many security holes in undefended environments, but suggested Mythos was not dramatically better than Claude's predecessor, Opus 4.

"Our testing shows that Mythos Preview can exploit systems with weak security posture, and it is likely that more models with these capabilities will be developed," the report authors said.

It is also not the first time an AI developer has claimed the capabilities of its models means they should not be released - something critics argue is a tactic to build hype.

In February 2019, OpenAI cited similar fears when it chose to stagger the release of GPT-2, an earlier version of its models which now power its biggest tool ChatGPT.

'Understand the vulnerabilities'

Top bankers are to be given access to the model in advance to test out their systems.

The chief executive of Barclays, CS Venkatakrishnan, told the BBC: "It's serious enough that people have to worry.

"We have to understand it better, and we have to understand the vulnerabilities that are being exposed and fix them quickly."

He added that "this is what the new world is going to be" - referencing a much more connected financial system, with both opportunities and vulnerabilities.

While developer Anthropic has said the model has already exposed multiple security vulnerabilities in some critical operating systems, financial systems and web browsers, governments and banks are being offered access in advance of its public release to help protect their own systems.

Listen: The AI model that’s ‘too powerful’ to be released to the public

Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey told the BBC the development had to be taken very seriously: "We are having to look very carefully now what this latest AI development could mean for the risk of cyber crime."

He added: "The consequence could be that there is a development of AI, of modelling, which makes it easier to detect existing vulnerabilities in sort of core IT systems, and then obviously cyber criminals - the bad actors - could seek to exploit them."

The US Treasury confirmed it had raised the issue with its major banks encouraging them to test out their systems, before any public release of Mythos by Anthropic.

Financial industry sources indicated that another prominent US AI company could soon release a similarly powerful model but without the same safeguards.

James Wise, a partner at Balderton Capital, is chair of the Sovereign AI unit, a venture capital fund that will invest in British AI companies, backed by £500m of government funding.

He said Mythos is "the first of what will be many more powerful models" that can expose systems' vulnerabilities.

His unit is "investing in British AI companies that are tackling that - companies working in AI security and safety", he told the BBC's Today Programme.

"We hope the models that expose vulnerabilities are also the models which will fix them."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/n

And top bankers raise serious concerns about Mythos AI model.

Finance ministers, central bankers and financiers have expressed serious concerns about a powerful new AI model they fear could undermine the security of financial systems.

The development of the Claude Mythos model by Anthropic has led to crisis meetings, after it found vulnerabilities in many major operating systems.

Experts say it potentially has an unprecedented ability to identify and exploit cyber-security weaknesses - though others caution further testing is needed to properly understand its capabilities.

Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the BBC that Mythos had been discussed extensively at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) meeting in Washington DC this week.

"Certainly it is serious enough to warrant the attention of all the finance ministers," he said.

"The difference is that the Strait of Hormuz - we know where it is and we know how large it is... the issue that we're facing with Anthropic is that it's the unknown, unknown."

"This is requiring a lot of attention so that we have safeguards, and we have processes in place to make sure that we ensure the resiliency of our financial systems," he added.

What is Claude Mythos?

Mythos is one of Anthropic's latest models developed as part of its broader AI system called Claude, a rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.

It was revealed by Anthropic earlier this month, when developers responsible for testing AI models and their performance of so-called "misaligned" tasks - which go against human values, goals and behaviour - said it was "strikingly capable at computer security tasks".

Citing concerns it could surface old software bugs or find ways to easily exploit system vulnerabilities, Anthropic has not released the model.

Instead it has made Mythos available to tech giants like Amazon Web Services, CrowdStrike, Microsoft and Nvidia as part of an initiative called Project Glasswing, external - which it calls an "effort to secure the world's most critical software".

On Thursday, Anthropic released a new version of an existing model, Claude Opus, saying it would allow Mythos' cyber capabilities to be tested in less powerful systems.

Concerns raised about Mythos may exceed chatter around previous AI models, but some cyber-security experts have questioned how justified they are - especially given the model has not been tested by the wider industry to see how capable it actually is.

The UK's AI Security Institute has been given access to a preview version of it, and has published the only independent report into the model's cyber-security skills.

Iran's supreme leader issues message, but doesn't mention strait or talk,

atest written message attributed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been published by Iranian outlets today.

In the message marking Army Day in Iran, there has been no explicit mention of two topics discussed by Iranian officials recently: the Strait of Hormuz and Iran-US negotiations.

In one part, the message warns “enemies” that the Iranian navy is ready to make them “taste the bitterness of new defeats”, without further clarification.

Personally all Hedge Funds should be closed... Shylocks & Scoundrels the lot of them, no soul! imo dyor :)

The U.K.’s financial watchdog has eased restrictions on hedge funds after relaxing rules on short selling, and slashing administrative and reporting requirements.

The shift marks a major step-change in the way the Financial Conduct Authority regulates investors who bet against the value of companies, and comes as part of a broader U.K. push to cut red tape.

The FCA, which oversees U.K. financial services firms and markets, said Thursday its new framework provides “clearer and simpler” rules on short selling.

Short selling — a core component of many hedge fund strategies — involves investors betting against a particular stock or security, with the aim of profiting from a decline in its value.

The practice has often come under fire for destabilizing markets and accelerating sharp sell-offs during bouts of extreme volatility and pushing vulnerable companies into distress. But the FCA said shorting techniques play a crucial role in facilitating price discovery, liquidity, and risk management in financial markets.

Under the new framework, which takes effect July 13, the FCA will now publish aggregated data showing the overall size of net short positions in each company — a major departure from current rules that identify individual short sellers.

By removing the requirement to publicly name individual short sellers, the FCA’s new anonymized, aggregated disclosure model eliminates what the industry sees as reputational and strategic risk faced by short sellers. It allows hedge funds to operate more freely without exposing their strategies or triggering market backlash, copycat trades, or short squeezes.

U.K. investors subject to the regime will now benefit from a “more workable timetable” for short position disclosures, the FCA said, easing compliance costs for the U.K.’s hedge fund industry, particularly smaller and emerging firms.

“These changes give firms clearer rules and cut administrative burdens, while ensuring we have the information we need to keep the market fair,” said Jon Relleen, director of infrastructure and exchanges at the FCA.

“It is smarter regulation in action.”

..eases rules for hedge funds in sweeping overhaul of short selling rules.

The Financial Conduct Authority has unveiled a new short-selling regime, easing administrative and reporting requirements for such investors.

The U.K. regulator said the “clearer and simpler” rules will “keep the market fair.”

Short sellers, such as hedge funds and other investors, aim to profit from the decline in a company’s value, a practice often criticized by other market practitioners and policymakers.

From a $2 trillion IT stocks wipeout to an emergency DC meeting: How Anthropic’s AI is becoming Wall Street’s biggest headache |https://share.google/FWMrnAmMgJdbV4MIw

Under rules introduced after the 2008 financial crisis, banks above a certain size need an extra layer of debt that regulators can wipe out or convert to equity in a crisis, known as MREL minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities.

This layer of bail-in debt is designed to avoid governments ever needing to use taxpayer funds to rescue failed lenders. However, the rules came under fresh scrutiny after the BoE intervened to transfer the UK subsidiary of failed US lender Silicon Valley Bank to HSBC for £1 over a weekend in 2023.

DYOR

...for new way to rescue failed lenders

Regulators gain more flexibility if ‘bail-in’ process is required in response to a crisis.

The Bank of England has given itself more options for dealing with a failing bank after US regulators agreed to a new mechanism that would give shareholders and creditors a more restricted interest in the rescued lender. The move is a response by the BoE to the lessons it drew from the collapse of Credit Suisse in 2023, when legal concerns about whether US-issued securities could be swapped for shares in the bank were seen as restricting the capabilities of Swiss authorities.

The Bank of England said on Monday that instead of wiping out holders of bail-in securities at a failing bank, as happened to some Credit Suisse creditors, it could swap their securities for an interest in potential value of the recapitalised bank. This new mechanism would give the BoE more options when confronted with a crisis at a major UK lender and needed to exercise the “bail-in” process designed to restore a bank’s financial viability while avoiding a taxpayer bailout.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission issued the BoE with a “no-action” letter saying it would not “recommend enforcement action” if a UK bank exchanged US bail-in securities for non-transferable interests that were then converted into shares. SEC chair Paul Atkins said he planned to introduce a new rule exempting banks that are swapping US securities as part of a resolution from having to comply with the registration requirements for selling securities. US banks do not issue the same bail-in securities as European banks.

However, many European banks have sold such securities to US investors, raising doubts over how their conversion in a crisis would be treated by American regulators. “Clarity and certainty are important to both the US and global markets because these bail-in processes are inherently an emergency and can occur over a single weekend,” said Atkins. “US investors may own securities in the foreign bank subject to the bail-in.”

The BoE said the changes were “supported by lessons learned from the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse, as well as continued international work to enhance the credibility and effectiveness of bail-in”. “The key addition is the introduction of an alternate approach to bail-in where affected creditors receive non-transferable contingent beneficial interests,” it said. These interests, called potential rights to onward property or proceeds, would represent a right to shares or the proceeds from selling shares once a bank emerged from the resolution process.

“By continuing to establish a shared understanding of how plans would be implemented in stress, we strengthen our preparedness and responsiveness to act if needed,” said Ruth Smith, executive director of the BoE’s resolution directorate.

UK economy risks ‘large’ and ‘overlapping’ shocks.

The Bank of England has issued a major warning that the financial system is facing increasing risks of “large, frequent and potentially overlapping shocks” amid the volatility from the Middle East war and ongoing market risks.

In the latest meeting of the central bank’s Financial Policy Committee warned the implications of the conflict was “likely to interact with vulnerabilities” in the UK economy.

“The financial system has been resilient so far. However, the shock will weigh on growth, increase inflation and tighten financial conditions,” the Bank said.

The committee listed ongoing risks to the financial system as the “stretched” valuations of artificial intelligence stocks and “risky credit markets, notably in private credit”.
