""The BOD should seriously consider increasing the amount allocated to buybacks""

I'm sure Charlie Nunn will abuse his position as the CEO and strongly recommend another buyback program to boost short term EPS and hitting bonus targets for the banking executives, the share price has had a nice rally over the last few days with shareholders reinvesting there dividend payments, if the bank scrap the buybacks and up the dividend just imagine all the new investors buying in and reinvesting the divi money share price would shoot up

Australia, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The spot price of iron ore has climbed to a five-month high amid improving sentiment and some supportive fundamentals in China, the world's top buyer of the steel raw material.

However, there are also some factors that may limit the extent of the rally in coming weeks, such as the likely official moves to ensure steel production this year doesn't exceed that of last year.

Iron ore futures traded in Singapore ended at $121.13 a metric ton on Wednesday, the highest since April 11 and up 17.4% from the recent low of $103.21 on Aug. 3.

The British economy shrank by 0.5% in July, with the summer washout and strikes hit GDP, as economists warned a recession this year is “increasingly likely”.

Economists predicted GDP to shrink by 0.2% after earlier figures showed poor retail sales. But the decline in GDP as published by the ONS was sharper than expected

The economy resumed its downward path in July hit by a drop in the services sector in further evidence that interest rate rises are slowing down the engines of growth in the UK.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics showed gross domestic product (GDP) fell by 0.5%, with falls in all three main sectors, following growth of 0.5% in June.

But for the three months to July, GDP increased by 0.2% with growth in all three main sectors.

Services output was down 0.5% after growth of 0.2% in June, and was the main contributor to the fall in GDP in July.

Investment bank BNP Paribas has told clients to put their money into British stocks, arguing that a cheap pound, an attractive combination of sectors and the better-than-expected performance of the British economy makes the country attractive.

Sept 12 (Reuters) - Britain's labour market showed more signs of cooling in the three months to July despite another month of strong pay growth, according to data that leave the Bank of England on track for a further interest rate hike next month.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in the three months to July from 4.2% a month earlier, its highest since the three months to September 2021, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

The unemployment rate is already higher than the 4.1% the BoE had pencilled in for the third quarter as a whole, when it published its last set of forecasts in early August.

Employment dropped by a greater-than-expected 207,000 in the three months to July, the biggest such fall since the three months to October 2020, the data showed.

Wages continued to rise quickly, and above the rate of inflation - something which most investors think will prompt the BoE to raise interest rates again on Sept. 22, although perhaps for the last time in the current cycle.

Happy days 🥳 💰

I started investing in Lloyds back 2015 share price 80p and getting a good return not to sure about investing but boring Lloyds was going well and getting a good return and when the Share price dropped I would average down, now breakeven is 60p and dividend is good but I'm 28% down and can't afford the loss at selling at today's price, I'm sure maybe next year it will come good as the bank is clearly doing very well

Cheap spoons is flying Boss Tim Martin just buying another £7million shares come on Mr Charles Dickson updated the shareholders

""The share price of your holding will drop by the increase in the dividend paid""

That's correct and might start attracting new investors for the higher dividend yield pushing up the share price

""Some septic say they abused by executives seeking to game bonus targets by boosting short term EPS the bigger criticism is that they represent an unimaginative use of capital by the boards that have run out of ideas on product innovation mergers or acquisitions""

Nowonder markets don't like buybacks it's time to up the dividend payments and reward the shareholders

Seigne & osterrieders ; in at least 20% of cases company's doing buybacks are being totally ripped off by the investment banks that execute them
