Yes Theosus, I'm aware of the Brent price but apparently mick-b is not.
He does tend to sensationalise most things.

Mick, from your favourite website.
Trading Economics does not verify any data and disclaims any obligation to do so.
Perhaps the cynic in me could be justified.

mick, from your original post -
brent $17.5 where's the source?
I've not seen Brent @ $17.5.

I believe Trading Economics uses Trading view charts which are not live, that's usually an additional service, just saying.

That contract expires tomorrow the June contact indicates Brent, down 21 cents, or 0.8%, to $27.87 a barrel.
More sensation reporting by the agency's.
BP and RDS currently positive.

Where's the source?

Futures just turned negative, all will be revealed very soon.

Day trade, this BB is somewhat different from Glen.
What do you think?

You've done PPE to death, the markets open tomorrow.......
Lloyds investors, it happened in Cyprus, could it happen here?
Last paragraph.

ECB pushes for eurozone bad bank to clean up soured loans
European Central Bank officials have held high-level talks with counterparts in Brussels about creating a eurozone bad bank to remove billions of euros in toxic debts from lenders’ balance sheets.

The plan to deal with debts left over from the 2008 financial crisis is being pushed by senior ECB officials, who worry the coronavirus pandemic will trigger another surge in non-performing loans (NPLs) that risks clogging up banks’ lending capacity at a critical time.

But the idea faces stiff opposition within the European Commission, where officials are reluctant to waive EU rules requiring state aid for banks to be provided only after a resolution process imposes losses on their shareholders and bondholders.

There's nothing like a disaster to bring out all the UK knockers and it seems we've got our fair share on here.
What a bunch of negative know it alls.

It may be more to your advantage if you started doing something constructive, FFS you should listen to yourselves.

Commercial flights arriving at UK airports are carrying very few passengers, mostly UK nationals retuning home.
The bulk of the business is now freight based.

Plenty of folks here quick to blame anyone or anything, mostly the government, sometimes the scientists.
Everyone is wise after the event, we should have!!!
How many on here pointing the finger actually sold their investments before this market plummeted?
Yes we've all got hindsight.
Another thing you can't state one country is worse than another simply by the number of deaths, try deaths per million you'll be a bit more accurate.
Try this site - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
Turn your phone 90 degrees, chart is interactive/reversible.
UK is 7th and the US 14th in the world.
Think yourself lucky you don't live in San Marino, with 39 deaths they are by far the worse country in the world with 1149 deaths/1 million pop.
UK 228 and the US 113.

I need a decent app that enables me to trade with the minimum of fuss, a quick sign in process (fingerprint is ideal) HL fits that criteria.

"oil sector in disarray" I don't think anyone would disagree with that WOLFOFWARE.
Forward looking, with talk now about tentative returns to some sort of normality around the world, this can only be a positive, even with the ongoing supply balance.

However I have actually averaged up having previously bought sub £10, if the SP gets a bounce I'll sell, with further declines I'll add some more.
Who knows what will happen nobody's ever cracked this share trading lark, just some are more successful than others.
Twenty minutes to opening and futures looking positive.
GLA.

Just added a few more, £12k's worth, not quite as many as the sovereign-wealth fund but didn't want to scare em. :-))

Now there's a thing, when Brexit was the main topic on here, principally because of the effect on the LLOY SP (well not so much principally, more a case of in or out really).
But the point being, all the posts removed because of non Lloyds related, most of us had a message warning us.
Now we have CV-19 the main point of conversation but apparently that's acceptable. Both are not directly applicable to Lloyds, but one is ok.
Incidentally both are still ongoing and the Brexit fallout will rise again soon I'm sure.

Is it me or is this site is hard work this morning.

Onwards and upwards then A1?
Funny with this re-trace I expected to hear the dulcet tones of Darth.Trader once again with the impending doom that's to befall us, he's gone quiet of late. But I'm sure he's watching!

That's correct about some policy refunds in the US, some are paying automatically and some are paying if policy holders ask for one.
I have relatives over there and was informed about this two weeks ago, have written to my insurance, but so far silence.
US companies are customer service driven, not like most of ours who are just after the money for a piece of paper to get you legal on the road.

You can be certain that in the event of default the 80% government portion of any such loans will be first in the queue for any remaining assets.
That leaves the bank's 20%, more likely at risk. And the bank's will have the additional expense of servicing the loan and if needed any loss recovery.
