I think the ongoing car finance issue is holding Lloyds from breaking out further? Barclays up circa 5% at present.

I missed your posts showing your subsequent short trades and prices after your short at 50.59p to take your alleged average to 51.44p.....when did you post them?

Reasonable entry point after going ex dividend.

67Sam......Citra Living news update.

Miller Homes and Citra Living, which is part of Lloyds Banking Group, have partnered to create 100 private rented sector units in Priorslee, Telford.

The 100 units for Citra at Miller Homes' Roman Croft development will be completed in two phases, with 46 in the first phase and 54 in the second.

Handover is expected to be completed by July 2026.

Danny O'Connor, divisional managing director at Miller Homes, said: "We are pleased to have agreed a deal with Citra Living to deliver 100 homes for the private rented sector in Priorslee, and hope this forms the foundation for many more in the future.

"Miller Homes' Roman Croft development offers residents a blend of thriving town life and picturesque countryside living, with easy access to both Wolverhampton and Birmingham, and the Shropshire Hills on the doorstep."

Matthew Bench, group managing director – partnerships at Miller Homes, said: "Building private rented sector homes as part of our business model, like these for Citra Living, allows us to continue diversifying our portfolio, while creating new opportunities for land acquisition and supporting our overall growth ambitions to 6,500 homes per year."

Andy Hutchinson, chief executive of Citra Living, added: "Working with Miller Homes to deliver these more energy efficient new homes supports the delivery of our goal to help more people live in the place they want and in the kind of modern home they want to live.

"By teaming up with experienced, forward-thinking housebuilders, like Miller, we can bring more, better quality homes in great locations to the market more quickly."

"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.

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.

We need another Margaret Thatcher to sort this country out!
