Young bankers waiting to learn when or whether they might be relocated to the European Union can take some solace from the fact that oftentimes, their bosses also don’t know their own fate.

A senior banker hired to work in London last year was asked just weeks later to pack his bags and move to Europe. Some trading managers at one U.S. bank still don’t know whether they’ll be able to stay in the U.K., while a young trader starting a new job at a European lender this month is waiting to learn just where that job will be.

Overall business confidence fell slightly by three percentage points to -7% in the New Year according to the Lloyds Bank Business Barometer (chart 1), revealing concerns about trading prospects and the wider UK economy. The survey captures responses between 4th and 18th January 2021, during which the UK’s tiering system was replaced by a national lockdown. While confidence remains the second highest since May 2020, it suggests that worries about the new variant has dented previous optimism regarding vaccine rollout.

Manufacturing upturn constrained by COVID-19
restrictions and supply-chain disruptions

UK Manufacturing PMI at 54.1 in January (3-month
low)
Supply-chains stretched by Brexit and COVID
restrictions
Input cost and selling price inflation both accelerate.

The upturn in the UK manufacturing sector slowed sharply at the start of 2021. Output growth eased and new orders fell slightly as producers faced weaker inflows of new export work and temporary supply-chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 restrictions and transport delays (especially at ports) following the end of the Brexit transition period.

Silver prices leapt to a five-month high on Monday on social media calls to buy the metal and emulate the frenzy that drove up GameStop shares.

Shares in a handful of smaller Australian mining firms surged as small-time traders bought en masse.

Around this time last year, shares in Lloyds supported a dividend yield of around 5.3%, or 3.2p per share. If the lender reinstated its dividend at this level in 2021, investors would be in line for a yield of 8.8%

British Airways has announced a new trial of the Verifly health passport app, allowing customers to verify Covid-19 test certificates before they leave home for their flights.

The trial begins on February 4 on all of the carrier’s transatlantic routes between London and the US (currently New York JFK, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Washington, Houston and Seattle).

Heavy caveats and caution are likely to couch any Bank of England announcement next week that negative interest rates are technically possible in Britain, judging from feedback from major banks.

Alongside its decisions on rates and its bond-buying programme - which are expected to remain on hold - the BoE is due to publish on Feb. 4 the findings of a consultation with banks on what negative rates would mean for their operations.
