Trump's EU trade war costing manufacturers in US and eurozone

Tariffs are slowing productivity and driving up costs, new figures show

The European commission, the EU’s executive arm, warned the White House on Monday it would be prepared to use tariffs against as much as $300bn (£228bn) of US products should Donald Trump slap higher taxes on European automotive imports to America. The president had threatened last month to impose tariffs of 20% on imports of cars from the EU after Brussels carried through plans to tax American consumer goods – such as whiskey, cigars and Harley-Davidson motorcycles – in retaliation against US tariffs on European steel and aluminium.

UK banks could face new multibillion-pound claims after PPI ruling
Britain’s banks face the threat of a huge new PPI bill that could add billions of pounds to the £30bn already paid out in compensation, following a court ruling lauded by claims management companies as “hugely significant”.

The case opens the door to a renewed claims bonanza as it suggests that even if the PPI policy was not mis-sold, the buyer may still be able to reclaim because the scale of the commissions paid were excessively high.

While the ruling does not mean any more cash for people who have already received compensation, it may allow cases that have been rejected to be reconsidered. The ruling is likely to be appealed against but if it stands it presents a fresh PPI nightmare for Britain’s banks, after one claims expert said new payments could run into the tens of billions. Lloyds Bank has so far paid out £18.8bn for mis-selling claims, while Barclays has paid more than £9bn and RBS nearly £5bn.

Banks have been relying on a 29 August 2019 “time-bar” on claims, agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as a way to cap the final cost of what has been the biggest compensation exercise in UK financial history. However, the new ruling threatens further large payouts.

Sorry my mistake...it's the wrong day

YES it's the RNS above
http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=LLOY&ArticleCode=wg4abvu9&ArticleHeadline=Transaction_in_Own_Shares

The recent UDOG rise was started by Lenigas.
He tweeted the shares were far too cheap and he had just bought 5m quids worth.
Probably another scam to drive the price up...which it did.
That's must be bordering on illegal dealing by an insider, I believe.

More dilution for UDOG now.
Just before the close an RNS popped up with a £5 million placing.
lo!

Much appreciated once again

CHINA also consumed half the worlds cement a couple of yrs ago.
VAST consumers of EVERYTHING even breeding dogs to eat.
I watched with awe at the 2 parter DOC on BBC called CHINA
In the remote villages up near the mountains they use hundreds of small flat terraces down the sleep slopes for rice but here's the clever bit....when these terraces are full of rain water for the growing rice they introduce fish and feed them up for food as well
NOTHING is wasted in China...even the cattle dun is put on the tin roofs to dry out and then used as fuel.
AMAZING place to visit away from the built up areas

No problem as I sold ACA straight away when the Bulldozer struck with his crazy allegations...but kept and bought more of the smaller SHG...which has recovered somewhat.
Don't like the look of BOO...retracing down again...very heavily traded by the big boys/pro's
🍺

Thanks for your reply.....shame with VED as I know you trade then a lot ‼️
I thought South American was safe....but found that Colombian JAN was affected by revived FARC fears.
Can't win.....think Canada/Australian goldes are safest
I like SOLG who had a couple of years to firm up their copper/gold discovery and have Newcrest as JV...I think
