"Indicator Overview:

The "Proportion of Global Stock Markets Above the 200-Day Moving Average" data tracks the percentage of major stock indices from over 40 countries that are trading above their 200-day moving averages. An increasing proportion indicates that the majority of global stock indices are rising, while a decreasing proportion suggests that most indices are declining.

▌How to Use This Chart to Observe Global Market Reversals:

The proportion of global stock markets above the 200-day moving average can be seen as a market sentiment indicator. When this proportion approaches 90% or higher, it means that most economies' indices are near their one-year highs, suggesting a potentially overheated global stock market. If the indicator begins to decline from high levels, it signals a possible reversal in market sentiment from an overheated phase, increasing the likelihood of a global market correction."

"Stock prices in Europe were mixed on Tuesday afternoon, with market sentiment shaky amid artificial intelligence worries, and as investors continue to digest US President Donald Trump's tariff tirade."

"In London, banking shares struggled. Lloyds Banking Group fell 2.1%, NatWest declined 1.6% and Barclays fell 1.5%. In Paris, Societe Generale fell 1.9% while Deutsche Bank lost 2.0% in Frankfurt."

AI is simply the latest iteration of technology replacing people in industry, to increase speed, automation, quality and reduce cost. They adaption of technology to replace people is as old as mankind itself, so don't expect it to end with AI.

Lloyds is not a charity, it is a business with a clear aim of maximising profits.

People who lose their jobs need to reskill.

All clear now?

"£1 established as the new floor" for lloyds.

Yeah sure Mexico is safe...

Tourists/Foreigners have been told not to go out in case they become a target for the cartel, which just had its leader executed by the yanks!

I guess the recent turmoil whipped up by the media about a leadership contest is now behind us, lloyds is a classic case of, steady as she goes', we can all rest easy and we should see lloyds creep up slowly again to the previous high.

All in all a great Monday, unless you're 88, eho told us adamantly he had absolutely no concerns about going to Mexico. I did try to tell him, but then there are none so deaf, as those who won't listen! Fortunately, he did take my advice about when to see another tranche of lloyds and banked a profit, as a consequence, before the recent dip in the share Price. I do wish he'd just taken my advice about not going to Mexico....

Troublesome, "Seems like the headline has been purposefully designed so as to draw people in!"

That is really quite normal and has sold newspapers for generations.

On lloyds, glad to see the latest hissy fit by Trump doesn't appear to have unsettled the markets.

I think the neurological issues Trump is having could see him replaced in a matter of months. That should boost the markets! I guess his side kick will take over.

"Lloyds’ stock has quietly turned into a high?yield, buyback machine in London. But is this UK banking giant a stealth value play for US investors—or a classic value trap as rates and politics shift?"

I expect that lloyds may well dip below £1 next with the chaos being caused by trump and his new tariffs.

Names like Nigel Farage, David Davies, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove all spring to mind,who led the country up the garden path!

Sir Keir has made the right call on not allowing UK bases to be used for US strikes on Iran!

Blaming migrants/immigrants/foreigners is simplistic, blatant racism straight out of the NF (Reform UK) playbaook and appeals to voters, without a brain cell between them! Nor is a left/right issue, it is just blatant racism!

Trump is again! He been slapped back on the tariffs he tried to put in place and immediately slapped 10% short term tariffs in place. The markets won't like this uncertainty, so maybe a bit of a fall on Monday.

The sooner he gets declared not mentally with it the better and is replaced.

Great news!

Folks!

Creeping up again.

I love to have those bundles of joy, as my Sunday dinner.

"While the narrative fair value points to a modest 7.1% undervaluation, our DCF model suggests a different perspective. On that approach, Lloyds at about £1.00 is trading roughly 44.3% below an estimated £1.80 per share."

Lads, break out the Champaign!!!!

"Therefore, the stock will likely bounce back in the coming days, potentially to the year-to-date high of 114.65p, which is up by 12% above the current level. A drop below the key support level at 98.10p will invalidate the bullish outlook."
