Germany drops opposition to nuclear power in rapprochement with France https://on.ft.com/43i4qrB

Good news. Denmark would be more inclined for UK SMR compared to US as the orangutan wants to grab Greenland.

What’s the upside here if the court decision is favourable to Lloyds - like setting aside the trial court decision and narrow the reapaymenys to only cases of discretionary commission (which FCA then works on some formula)?

52 weak high reached today!!!

With strong momentum now, seems 80p in next few days is possible here.

Should have gone higher today. With tariff situation easing, chances of global recession have receded.

Tomorrow another day…could go higher.

Yes a sector thing most likely. Defence and aerospace stocks mostly down.

Just a guess - some rotation happening to a few sectors that were much beaten down due to China US tariff war on the optimism of to positive trade talks.

Rolls Royce engines will be tariff free, Lutnick says

published at 16:09

Lutnik continues, he's now speaking about automobile imports.

He says that it's been agreed that the UK will be able to send 100,000 cars into the US on the original 10% baseline tariff.

Rolls Royce engines and parts for aeroplanes can be exported from the UK to the US tariff free, he says.

Only reason we are not 8+ today is due to the tariff noise in the background.

I believe the worst of tariff chaos is over and coming days will see more trade deals being signed off or tariff exemption etc which will help the share price go up to £10ish imo.

With wider markets going up on tariff deals, we might see 80p this month hopefully.

Most European markets closed today due to bank holiday. Would that have had any impact

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LON:LLOY) presented its Q1 2025 Interim Management Statement on May 1, 2025, revealing a mixed financial performance characterized by strong lending growth and income progression, offset by higher costs and impairment charges. The UK’s largest retail bank maintained its full-year guidance despite quarterly headwinds, pointing to continued confidence in its strategic direction

Seems it fell for no apparent reason so is climbing back nicely again.

We’re getting into 80s next week.

@Mike

It’s US domestic travel a bit low for some airlines.

Nothing like ‘similar to Covid’ as you say in your post

“Southwest, American and Alaska were the latest airlines to express caution about the rest of the year amid flagging demand for domestic flights.

Southwest Airlines (LUV) CEO Bob Jordan said Thursday the drop-off in business detected in February was one the most pronounced he has seen. “That is a very rapid fall-off," he said on CNBC. "It’s probably the most that I have seen absent COVID."

In the absence of any forward guidance, it may not find too much buyer’s interest. We may have to wait until June to see any rerate imo.

CEOs CV

2020-2024 : Share price brought down from over 400 p to 32 p while our competitor First Group tripled their share price in the same period.

Whoever is buying NA bus business seems foolish to me. I’d rather buy the whole company for $240 million which is current market cap. Then sell USBus for $600 and Alsa for $1.5 maybe more.

716 close.

This week could see a good recovery, hopefully.
