Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
At least early signals are positive. Hopefully longer term studies confirm.

In light of events following Friday close, though no huge surprises, what are we predicting opening will be tomorrow?
Does anyone know when we could expect news on future dividends. I think it’s related to the PRA decision at the half but wanted to question the group. Could we expect any mention at the AGM in a couple of weeks or is it not likely until the half year results / PRA announcement at the earliest?
If this ends anywhere less than 3% up it’ll be a disappointment. No matter how positive the news is it just can’t seem to hold onto the gains
Outlook
• Given the solid financial performance in the first quarter of 2021, the Group is enhancing its guidance for 2021. Based on the Group's current economic assumptions:
- Net interest margin now expected to be in excess of 245 basis points
- Operating costs to reduce to c.£7.5 billion
- Net asset quality ratio now expected to be below 25 basis points
- Risk-weighted assets in 2021 to be broadly stable on 2020
- Statutory return on tangible equity now expected to be between 8 and 10 per cent, excluding c.2.5 percentage point benefit from tax rate changes
- Accruing dividends with intention to resume progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy
The 32 million was an uncrossed trade rather than a buy.
Has anyone else experienced the trade data and charts stopping before the end of the day recently. This seems to be happening on this site more and more frequently.
ST - this dissertation is pathetic and smacks of someone so disgruntled about their own trading mistakes they must try to belittle others to feel better.
Grow up and get outside for a nice walk
Bon5e that 27m was an uncrossed trade not a single buy
It’ll get there over the coming weeks I’m sure. Let’s not forget we have a potential for a good news spike every 5 weeks from now to the end of June with the roadmap out of lockdown. Certainly opportunity for disappointment too but I’m feeling optimistic.
Key statement for me. This may well drop today, as BARC did on results day, but I think these results are much better that people are letting on. Statement below was key for me as it puts LLOY in a better position to justify further divid in the future (subject to continued profits etc)
“Lloyds' core capital ratio, a key measure of financial strength increased to 16.2%, ahead of an ongoing target of 12.5% and up from 15.2% in September.”
They used to have trade data on HL. Now says no longer available and to visit stock exchange website. As you point out you can’t see what’s a buy or sell so it’s fairly pointless.
I think so. It would be slightly comical if he deferred the decision to his successor given it has been widely reported Mr Nunn won’t be joining anytime soon. He is still in charge for the time being and a decision needs to be made. Given every bank has restarted dividends I would find it very hard to see nothing from the bank. Even a nominal 1p per share at this stage.
Surely there were trades in the final minute and one second of trading today. Any thought?

Can you provide the actual link to the article Longhold
Tomorrow whether it’s an announcement of a dividend or noticeable omission.
We usually see one or two £500k-1m+ buys and or sells at the bell.
None coming through so far. Unsure if this is telling or not. I’m firmly holding in any event.

Just can’t seem to break past 39.5. Tried 3 times now and keeps getting knocked back.
