Gold is, it appears!

John, to be honest you are coming onto this forum repeatedly and you appear to be on a witch-hunt?, with your focus on hartleygreen.

I actually have a different perspective to hartleygreen on many topics, but I find him quite inoffensive.

Hartley, I have a number of people on filter, so all I can see is green boxes.

That Trump will declare victory next week and there will be a massive rebound in the markets!

I've noting against renewables, for the record!

Troublesome, enjoy your walk.

We are up again.

PS: I use this forum as I'm a lloyds shareholder and I'm interested in discussing lloyds shares. Seems some tree huggers are a but confused about what this forum is here for, with all the nonsense about solar panels recently.

I'd say some folks are, having bought on the way up, are now out of pocket.

We need more day centres for those with nothing to do with their tike and those that are intellectually challenged?

Does that resonate with any of you, in your hollow brains?

5% folks, which is going in the wrong direction!

Seems this is going to get worse before it gets better, as further disruption of oil production, storage and transportation routes looks increasingly likely...

"Lloyds share price rose for three consecutive days as London stocks continued their recovery today."

Looking good folks!

Hartleygreen, do you actually have any interest in lloyds shares?

Folks!

"Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) shares slipped 0.70% to around $5.11 on Tuesday, pulling back after a strong run earlier in the year. The decline comes as investors reassess valuation following a sharp rally in 2025, with the stock now facing increased scrutiny from analysts. Despite stable fundamentals and solid income generation, the recent dip suggests growing caution around near-term upside potential."

Up almost 2% today!

Just need this rather messy business in the middle east to settle itself and we'll be back up at 114p!

I visited both Copeland Spode and Wedgwood potteries, some 20 years ago.

And lloyds is caught in the strong current of international events. I guess lloyds fundamentals will mean we continue to get our dividend, but the overall business/economic environment is not exactly helping us.

About 105.6 dollars a barrel.

Up just under 2%.

The oil price is our barometer to watch, for the coming weeks!

For lloyds shares marginally up so far, which is amazing with all that has been going on!

We're in the lap of the gods at the moment folks, with the ongoing situation in the middle east!

Looks like Warren Buffet called it right as he's mainly in cash and ready to scoop up investments at a moment of his choosing!

"The Bank of England will choose its words even more carefully than usual this week alongside its expected decision to delay an interest rate cut in the face of inflation risks from the war in the Middle East.

Still stung by criticism that it and other central banks moved too slowly when Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine drove British inflation above 11% in 2022, the BoE will be wary of missteps."

I also see elsewhere that UK unemployment is going to jump.

Overall, nota great backdrop for stock investors!

"The war in the Middle East and surging energy prices will dominate the week, and will loom large in the rate decisions from central banks. The Federal Reserve (Fed), Bank of Japan (BoJ), Bank of England (BoE), European Central Bank (ECB), Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and Bank of Canada all release decisions, and while no change is expected on rates, we can be sure the discussions will revolve around oil and gas prices, and the outlook for inflation, which will have changed dramatically since they last met.

Aside from this, UK household names Prudential and JDWetherspoon release earnings, while in the US Micron Technology reports, but all this takes place in the shadow of what is going on in the Straits of Hormuz and in the skies over Iran."
