PYX Resources: Achieving volume and diversification milestones. Watch the video here.
A bridge to far for the share price to cross, in the short - term the sector - wide rally may continue based on hopes an improving economy, interest rate cycle and inflation swinging back to being favourable.
On the downside, worsening situation on the frontlines in Ukraine and market uncertainty surrounding this years General Election still has the potential to send financial markets into a tailspin over the coming weeks and months.
A profound sea -change in sentiment and a re-rating for Lloyds, or is the sector just riding the wave of the current general market trend, real headache for traders trying to identify new resistance and exit points for the shares.

Lloyds needs more lucrative cash generating Wealth Management businesses like Scottish Widows and less low profit retail banking operations if they are to remain on a sustainable path to future earnings and profits.
Financial markets would probably take a sceptical view to any future potential sale of Scottish Widows.

The shares have had a good run over recent weeks and are now probably already trading in overbought territory, the shares have become a real headache for traders who are trying to establish new buy and sell points for the stock, hopefully for long - term holders may the current share price trend continue. Good Luck.

Agree, potholed roads creaking government infrastructure and public services to name a few, today in the UK it sometimes feels like we are living in a third world country.

Wrong type of immigrants, vast majority low skilled and contribute nothing to our economy.

Thanks to Sunak and the Tories the UK has had the fastest growing population in Europe ( twice as fast ) for over a decade now, and will hit 70 million sooner than expected.
" Enough is Enough " the UK can't take anymore, Brexit supporters please take back control of your borders as you promised before it is to late, or face the consequences !
High quality build - to - rent markets have worked well for long established and experienced players like Legal & General over the last few years, maybe not so good for new entrants like Lloyds, Goldman Sachs and Macquarie Bank who are now trying to jump on the bandwagon and are rushing to put record amounts of shareholders cash into the capital intensive build - to - rent sector.
Stick to what you know best............Banking !

Share buybacks at 52p +, at these levels a lot of investors may now not see it as the most cost effective way for Lloyds to deploy excess cash in a costly exercise to reduce the share capital in the bank.
FTSE 100 looking frothy for the moment !
Markets take NatWest Q1 results in stride despite profit drop on tough competition concerns for UK mortgages and savers deposits.

You're first purchase of Legal & General today.......... postive move, although the share price may have a lot further to fall before the inevitable uptick and momentum in the share price kicks in once again.
Fair comment, intense mortgage competition and spreads are putting the squeeze on UK bank operating margins coupled with increased wholesale funding costs for banks, like you say "Property 1" interesting times ahead for the sector.

American and European military aid, " Too Little, Too Late "
The Russian war machine is rapidly gathering pace, Zelensky must now negotiate a peaceful settlement and conceed the disputed Russian speaking territories of Ukraine to Russia, or risk loosing the entire country to Putin.

Makes good sense for Nat - West shareholders to participate in the Goverment share sale and compliment their existing share holdings at a discounted rate in the bank, for prospective shareholders maybe not so good, they will need to read the small print of the new share allotment issue, in most cases they will be only be allocated a fraction of shares they originally intended to purchase in the scheme and will not be worth the cost or hassle of holding or selling the shares at a future date.

Maybe a solution for the future, until then new mass -produced military drone technology and warfare will continue to level the military conflict playing field against overwhelming odds and military superiority for countries like Iran and Ukraine.
The West need to tread carefully, the times are a - changing !
We have entered a new era of David and Goliath warfare clearly demonstrated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
A single $2million dollar sophisticated American/Western missile against a cheap easily mass -produced $2000 dollar Iranian military drone, a real costly economic conundrum for the Pentagon and the West to consider for the future shape of conventional warfare to come.
JP. Morgan share price currently down over 5% on renewed inflationary pressure and Middle East tensions despite Q1 EPS coming in at $4.44 and beating concensus estimates of $4.17 per share, nevertheless the shares are still up over 45% over the last 12 months.
Measured scale out of trading positions now necessary.
The shares are currently having a good run, makes sense to lock in some profits and reduce the risk of market exposure while leaving some in the pot for further potential trading profits.
LTI
FTSE100 10% + rise......... abysmal performance when compared with its international peers over the corresponding time period.

Without doubt, poor investor sentiment since the Brexit Referendum and the general UK macro backdrop over the past few years have plunged UK based equities into record discount territory compared to alternative Global stocks.
CaptainS
Barclays share price appears cheap and undervalued and out of favour for far to long now, probably due to the fact its risk - weighted capital intensive investment banking arm has proved to be a real " pandora's box " for the bank over recent years and never fails to disappoint investors time and time again.
