- StanChart dominates headlines on Iran dealings- UK manufacturing output falls 4.3 per cent- Spain could be nearing a bailoutThe Footsie had swung into the red by Tuesday lunchtime as the banking sector took a hit on the back of 24 per cent plunge from Standard Chartered due to alleged dealings with the Iranian government.Sentiment was also dampened by UK manufacturing data from June which showed that the sharpest decline since 2008 as companies took a hit from the two days of public holiday set aside for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Industrial production figures released by the Office for National Statistics, which measure output from the UK's factories and mines, showed a drop of 4.3% compared to June 2011. However, this wasn't as bad as the 5% analysts had been predicting. The Footsie closed at a three-month high yesterday after Germany backed the European Central Bank's (ECB's) plan to buy Spanish and Italian bonds. Analyst Craig Erlam from Alpari said this morning that risk appetite is expected to remain high: "This is likely to continue to be the trend over the coming weeks until we see some concrete steps taken by the central banks. It is rare that comments made in the Eurozone keep sentiment high for sustained periods of time. However, there is something different about this one." Meanwhile, Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy hinted over the weekend that the country may need to ask for aid. "Signs that the Spanish government will accept a bailout, along with European and Asia's being able to respond to the solid US jobs report from Friday caused markets to trade higher yesterday," said trader Simon Furlong from Spreadex.FTSE 100: StanChart drops 19% early on Emerging markets-focused banking titan Standard Chartered fell after the US banking regulator accused it of collusion with the government of Iran to hide transactions from authorities.

Furthermore, given the magnitude of numbers mentioned ($250bn notional transactions), even if an ultimate settlement is manageable, we think the market is likely to remain cautious (...) There have been several settlements with US authorities on similar matters which have not led to licences being revoked, and fines have been manageable, although the period of uncertainty in this case is unclear.
