Brass Gemini........"Where do I see the current buyback position that is sometimes reported on here."

It is posted very soon after the RNS "Transaction in Own Shares" is released. Normally between 17:45 and 18:20 under the thread Buyback update. Last night it was posted at 18:16.

Just like when you send someone an email they don't want to reply to you get an automated response ......."I am currently out of the office and unable to reply"

Falky's automated response to questions he can't answer is............"please read the thread before asking the questions. Thanks"

So if it will go sub 50p tomorrow why did you close your short position today at over 51p?

"I did call it wrong ....never mind"

I thought you told us all your calls on Lloyds are 100% correct every time? hmmmmmm

The Bank of England is right to draw a distinction between the UK and US inflation outlook, and we expect the first rate cut to be in August or maybe even June. Sterling could come under greater pressure, but we think this is less of a concern for the BoE now than it was in 2022 or 2023.

The Bank of England is turning dovish.

The Bank of England is trying to tell us something, and markets are finally starting to take notice.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has hammered home the message that the UK’s inflation outlook is “rather different” to the US. That sentiment was echoed by Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden last week who said that the UK is “catching up fast” on disinflation, a significant intervention from one of the more hawkish members of the committee.

Up to now, investors had been expecting the Bank of England to largely mirror the Fed on rate cuts this year, despite growing divergence between Fed and European Central Bank expectations. UK services inflation (6%) is noticeably higher than the US (5.3%) or eurozone (4.0%) and investors have understandably found it hard to see the BoE being able to cut ahead of the Fed.

But that’s changing. Investors now expect two rate cuts in the UK this year, starting in August. This repricing could have further to run.

"Sub 50p by Friday....IMHO-DYOR"

So are you going to short Lloyds again today Falky?

SUFC.....you are forgetting Lloyds went ex dividend on 11th April taking 1.84p of the share price. That has not been lost, you will get that back as dividend payment in May. Natwest or Barclays SP has not been taken down by going ex dividend in the last month.

ForensicBloo.....no I do not hold any Tesco shares.

FWIW JP Morgan have raised Lloyds target price.

JPMorgan raises Lloyds price target to 50 (45) pence - 'underweight'

And that coming from the man who is going to vote for the Workers Party of Britain at the forthcoming General Election!! 🤣🤣🤣
