Banks knocked by potential bond vigilante action9 Feb 2026 19:04
Part of the sharp falls with domestic facing stocks like NatWest, Lloyds, Taylor Wimpey, LGEN today was due to political instability and rumours of KS being forced to resign. This would rattle the markets as they fear a leftist government would want to borrow even more. This week will be choppy. Natwest tested £5.95, there seemed like a lot of support at that level. Perhaps this level may be tested again tmrw should Barclays disappoint. Who knows though. GLA
