UK banking environment has changed dramatically since Lloyds was returned to private ownership in 2017, if my mind serves me correctly at that time Nat - West (RBS ) shares were trading around the 350P mark.

Nat -West share price will remain undervalued until the Government stake in the Bank is finally sold off and fully returned to private ownership.

The volume of daily buybacks usually depend on market conditions, should any sizeable acquisition be on the horizon, the buyback programme can be terminated or adjusted accordingly.

Lloyds have certainly taken their foot of the share buyback pedal, for reasons only best known to Morgan Stanley and the Bank.

UK households are still wasting huge amounts of energy and need to take responsibility, using common sense is a surefire way to make savings on your energy bills, start by wearing jumpers and warm clothing rather than cranking up the central heating every time you feel a chill.

Growing up in the 1950s and 60s we experienced some brutally prolonged cold winters, i vividly remember scratching the ice off the inside of windows, frozen milk on the doorstep and waiting for the coal fire to get going....... good old days

Base rate consensus view is still firmly on track, and will see UK base rates rising to 2.25% in the first quarter 2023 along with the UK economy entering a deep and protracted recession, and households facing their longest and sharpest fall in living standards on record.

Now, how is the current Lloyds share buyback programme progressing ?

Predictable market reaction .
This was always going to be the case !

I take into account your valid point, not long to wait now and find out what the short - term market reaction will be to the BoE interest rate increase before the share price reverts back to its prevailing trend.

Worth noting, Lloyds intraday share price has usually fallen on the last few occoccasions after the BoE interest rate increase announcement.

The pullback in World commodity prices in July including Wheat, Oil and Copper might be an indication Inflation may soon reach it's peak.

Economic concensus view, will see UK base rates rising to 2.25% in the first quarter of 2023.

More importantly will the BoE fire the starting pistol towards selling some of the £875 Billion of Government Bonds amassed between 2009 -2021 leading financial markets into unchartered waters.

Half decent set of results despite Q2 profits dipping 5%, however better than the market had expected.

Business confidence and the share price will not reach its full potential until the current 48% government stake in the bank is finally sold off.
