LTI, "DT
Your timing of a return has coincided (as usual) with bad news"

No, incorrect, it was actually Lloyds news, RNS...etc. The Ukraine situation was always gong to unfold, badly.
it's more about Lloyds timing rather than DT's...lol, lol, lol

Taiwan's air force scrambled again on Thursday to warn away nine Chinese aircraft that entered its air defence zone, Taiwan's defence ministry said, on the same day that Russia invaded Ukraine, a crisis being watched closely in Taipei.

Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, has complained of regular such missions by the Chinese air force over the last two years, though the aircraft do not get close to Taiwan itself...

MRj, "ets see what the next news on divi and buy backs"

yes this news would certainly boost the SP; However the rate hike news is spent...
IMO
DYOR

Hey Theosus,

yes..do you see a rise in SP today in anticipation of a rate hike. I am of the opinion it is priced in, if so the SP will close down..

D..

""The BOE will raise the bank rate from 0.25% to 0.50% today and that will be the trigger point for its balance sheet reduction i.e. quantitative tightening. The thing about the rate hike today is that it is all but priced in already, so that will limit any upside potential for the pound. Hence, it is in other areas where we will see more of a market reaction.""
