Is she going after those already in the ground for some time, for retrospective additional taxes then?

The countdown begins!

Popcorn anyone?

Live on Sky and blames the Bank of England for her downfall.

I'm shocked by her hair do, it is awful!

Paddy, the wheels fell off!

"The decline in the stock market a this time of year is well-known enough to have a name. It’s called the September Effect and there are several potential explanations associated with it."

Paddy,a lot of right wing rac15ts on here, so just filter them and you'll be left with the few people on here who are actually interested in discussing lloyds.

Bloomers you've really done well.

Off you go now and stroke yourself, as a reward.

1.00 British Pound = 1.1481467 Euro

So, now British consumers are going to be caught between inflation and then price rises due to a drop in the value of sterling.

Not sure how low this will go, but I could hit 1.1.

Everything seems to be completely unravelling in the UK, in the widest sense!

Ireland seems to be OK, with no impact on bank shares.

Hey mustard, the latest price I can see is 77.40p, which is quite a drop!

Joeoh33, bloodbath taking place in the UK, with shares continuing to fall due to a variety of factors...

Nothwithstanding...

02/01/25 - 8.66

02/09/25 - 12.90

That is a 48.96% rise so far this year!

I repeat, the share price holding up nicely!

Later today...

Is he handing power over to Vance?

Extended its gains further today, where the 30-year gilt yield jumped by 6 basis points to hit 5.69%, its highest level since March 1998, over the previous 27-year high set on 9 April.

It comes a a blow to chancellor Rachel Reeves, who will be drawing up this autumn’s budget.

Jim Reid of Deutsche Bank said: "Even in orderly markets, we’re seeing a slow-moving vicious circle: rising debt concerns push yields higher, worsening debt dynamics, which in turn push yields higher again."

Germany’s 30-year yield also climbed to a 14-year high, tracking a rise in US Treasury yields."

"Meanwhile, investors have been piling into gold as a safe-haven asset, which reached a new all-time high over the $3,500 mark to hit $3,508.50 an ounce."

Starting to look like there could be a stock market correction....

Martinhorn, please explain what is your view that lloyds are going to 'tank'?

"Lloyds’ share price surge is thanks chiefly to two factors. Hopes of sustained interest rate cuts that’ll boost the UK economy is one. The other is a (largely) favourable outcome to a court case last month, in which it was claimed the bank mis-sold car finance to consumers.

CIty analysts are broadly in agreement that the bank’s shares can keep climbing. The average Lloyds share price forecast for the next 12 months is 91.3p, up 9% from today.

This could happen if Bank of England (BoE) action bolsters income and limits impairments, as investors hope. My view however, is that the bank could struggle to make further progress as economic headwinds intensify. Unemployment’s rising, and tipped by some to hit 5% by the end of the year. Business confidence is weak and consumer confidence is in the doldrums.

WIth competition from challenger banks growing too, I’m not confident in Lloyds’ share price prospects."

Lads, if you're not in, you can win!

The share price holding up nicely.

Looking good today!

MV, what has all that got to do with investing in lloyds????

"as calls grow for a reform of property taxes in the Autumn budget."

I think we can expecta further decline here in the sp! Maybe it recovers after the budget, or not...
