Our dearest Rachel has been speaking to the G7 about how best to navigate through the current crisis.

We should all feel reassured that we are in such capable hands.

Steady as she goes folks!

In the share price at the moment

New narrative then, Trump is the warmonger and Putin is the peacemaker!

Is growing on trump to end this war swiftly.

Hang on to your hats lads, as events could move faster than you think!

Word is that Trump may declare victory, now that the head has been chopped off and walk away!

If that happens, watch the markets rocket!

Birdsong, I fear lloyds and the markets are in a downward spiral now...

Troublesome,I think we disagree on this topic.

I am not a tree hugger!

Birdsong, I can't be doing with all this save the environment nonsense! I think the green lobby have lost the run of themselves, we have the tail waging the dog, with environmental policies being implemented that defy common sense and turn what is good for the economy on its head!

Birdsong, within the context of trying to predict the lloyds share movements in the coming months, it is clearly useful to try to understand how the Americans/ Israeli attack on Iran is going to play out.

I don't see Iran surrendering and I see a prolonged conflict, impacting international oil supply chains and as Israel / America have vowed to kill any new leaders of Iran and indeed those who elect them, this signals the desire to destroy the functioning government structures and one must think that a civil war in Iran is now the end game. In that scenario goodness knows when it would be safe for shipping in the region again. Impact on global stock markets will not be good and there is an every increasing likelihood of another stock market crash!

When lloyds were 114p and today we're 94p

Yeah Skier looks like stars are aligning for a mighty crash...

"A bold ambition coming out of the UK banking sector today...

According to internal strategy documents, Lloyds plans to expand the use of customer data to build new technology-driven services and revenue streams, moving “beyond the boundaries of banking” in UK.

The shift is part of a broader overhaul of Lloyds’ technology infrastructure.

The bank plans to scrap 862 internal apps and close 15 data centres, replacing them with more cloud-based systems.

Compliance is also set to change. More controls will be automated and executed in real time by machines, rather than checked retrospectively by employees.

The push comes as CEO at Lloyds Banking Group Charlie Nunn prepares to outline Lloyds’ new five-year strategy, which also includes expanding services for financial institutions and increasing lending to large corporates.

The broader goal is clear: modernize the bank’s infrastructure and compete more directly with digital players like Revolut and Monzo."

With Blackrock freezing all of their private clients assets, it will be very interesting if other firms follow suit tomorrow

No bunker Troublesome, but what i do know is I am on the right side of history!

As reports are emerging that xxxxx is considering using a tactical nuclear device on Iran, which would lead to China and Russia getting involved.

Troublesome, you get a lot of conflation on here, when discussing one particular topic.

Troublesome, I have some users of this forum on filter, so maybe have missed some of the comments.

As to 88, he's very unhappy within himself and that comes across in his posts

Recorded its biggest weekly fall in 11 months, last week.

"Over the course of the week, the FTSE 100 has dropped 5.75%."

Given the ongoing conflicts, next week again these will be the key driver as to where the markets go!

I think we already know the answer...

@88 is a fascist!
