Such strange market these days. Huge uncertainty over where anyone stands with the tariffs and yet everything’s blue.

I wonder if the U.K. will still get that special relationship treatment after denying trump use of our military bases?

One things for sure though, if the U.K. manage to negotiate 0.5% of a better deal the FTSE will rocket. 😂

Markets have become like crypto.

15% now apparently

Donald Trump began his surprise White House briefing by saying he finds the Supreme Court decision "deeply disappointing" and that foreign countries are celebrating – but won't be for long.

He has not backed away from tariffs and vows that he will use other mechanisms to get his way. Trump is clearly digging in, repeating his often-cited assertions that they are both good for the US economy and as a foreign policy tool.

I spend most of my professional life listening to Trump, often in the room. His tone today is different from usual, largely soft spoken. Many American observers expected his anger - which is clear - in more forceful language.

We have so far not heard much in terms of a specific "Plan B" for the administration's path forward.

U.S. may have to refund $175B in tariff money received. Trump is going to throw his toys out of the pram.

Then again, it’s a drop in the ocean, just add it to the $39T debt…

MMS will take 60k worth of shares in one hit at 8.05p. That’s a strong bid

My thoughts exactly Mr,A. Any distraction possible and anything that will make him feel like a big boy after his Supreme Court rejection!

Will trump have a hissy fit now I wonder?

The luck just never ends…

Considering the FTSE was up nearly another 1% today and over 20% within 12 months,yep I will absolutely stick with my overbought indicator. I mean it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen the next day but it is coming.

Although yesterday was ex divi a 1.5% bounce today WITH BUYBACKS and a booming FTSEisn’t that special from a 3.6% drop yesterday.

Again, for those who know TA is very useful on stocks like Barcs, she touched £4.80 again which was a huge support before results and now acting as a resistance and barcs bounced straight back off.

I’m not saying it cannot breach £4.80, but I think it’s a big ask with results done, geopolitical risks high, and economy slowing.

If Barcs closes sub £4.70 I think we will see new lower lows.

P.s I would rather use charts than depend on the buy recs of the same people who created the 2008 financial crash.

I agree with one of your two statements, sitting. And it’s not the latter I’m afraid.

Rachel reaves economics 🥴

Unemployment rampant, buisness’s taxed to death and millionaires leaving quicker than the illegals coming in.

Some how I don’t beleive it.

Oh look, the FTSE is pumped higher with absolutely no justification whatsoever.

Banks are increasingly turning to bespoke deals with private ​investment ‌funds to shed credit risk, but the market needs close monitoring as it spawns new vulnerabilities for the global financial system, ⁠the world's forum for banking regulators said. These "synthetic risk transfers" (SRTs) involve a ⁠bank selling all or part of the ​credit risk of a group of assets to investors such as hedge or pension funds. They allow banks to free up capital while maintaining their client relationships. SRTs are not new, but they have proven particularly popular in the European ​Union

So a new name for the CDO’s banks were selling pre 2008?

Strange,all of mine have been bang on estimated delivery date.

On the FTSE charts all indicators show extremely overbought aswell, that will weigh on barcs in the coming days/weeks imo.

Too much risk around at the minute, USA looking like they want to start another war with Iran aswell, more money will move out of stocks and into gold and oil.

Absolutely not rubbish. There’s a reason why it fell back to 486 last night because it’s sat in 50 day moving average line.

Next support is around 440p on the 100SMA line.

Next resistance to break to the upside is 486 as stated.

Good luck, lloydwill

Oil flying again, US are desperate for another war so no doubt $80-90 oil soon.

BOR has to be about to get snapped up

Keep buying assets? That’s a risky strategy of red or black. Oil can collapse as easily as it can rise.

Pay down debt, stop wasting money on buy backs, pay shareholders a reasonable dividend. Stop spending money now, we are in the same position we were 3 years ago, just bigger cashflow and bigger debt.

That’s why I like to call him Roger the profit dodger.
