There will be no resolution over the weekend. Putins stance and rhetoric so far has been extremely disconcerting. I doubt he will retreat at all until there is a way to spin it in the favour of Russia.
By burning Ukraine to the ground he will achieve the stated objective of removing the threat to Russia and also by leaving the country in a state of such instability it fails.
I think this conflict has further escalation as the push for Kiev continues. Only once they have taken Kiev will there be any chance of ‘resolution’.
I assume it’s due to the potential effect on the UK economy and how that ultimately affects Lloyds profitability as a uk focused bank.
Any thoughts on the impact on Global and Uk markets if the Russian market does completely collapse on the next open (whenever that is)
Having bought and held at the wrong time early in the pandemic I have learnt my lesson and sold now.
I’ve eaten a 10% loss this week but the way this is dropping, and the lack of progress to stop the war I think this could continue to drop for some time.
What are other longer term traders doing?
Anyone else struggling to get a price this morning?
Disinform - that made me lol. Fair point
Stall at 46ish and bounce at 44.99 outlined in this article. Coincidence perhaps?

Maybe it’s just some bait to get us muggles to buy then it’ll drop 2% in the next 15 mins lol.
Rick - falky explained yesterday that spread trades pay you the divi on ex div day.
Not overly concerned at one (albeit large) analyst charging their mind. I believe the majority are still buy / outperform for LLOY
“ Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and UBS analysts raised their target prices on Lloyds shares, following the bank’s latest earnings update.
The FTSE 100 money lender was named as Credit Suisse analyst Omar Keenan’s top UK stock pick last week.
He maintained an ‘outperform’ call on the stock and lifted the price target on LLOY to £61 from £60 a share, on the back of higher revised earnings for the rest of 2021, 2022 and 2023”
“ UBS also raised its price target to £55 from £54 previously alongside a ‘buy’ rating, while JPMorgan, which continues to recommend ‘outperform’, is now eyeing a fair value estimate of £60, up from £59 before.”

Is there supposed to be a decision from the PRA on dividends anytime soon or has that already taken place?
“The UK economy's recovery from the pandemic is set to be stronger than previously thought, a leading international agency has suggested.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says the UK is likely to grow 7.2% in 2021, up from its March projection of 5.1%.”

Lloyds haven’t committed to paying deferred dividends as far as I’m aware. The only commitment they have made is to a progressive dividend policy inline with PRA guidelines.
Any idea what caused the last minute spike / tick up at the close? Was loitering around the 2.2% mark then blaster up to just over 3%
