We have already spent all the positive catalysts. ;)

Another reason why progress will be very limited here. Lots of uncertainty on a company level, macro and political level. Few positive catalysts. DYOR.

spoole5, wishing Barc back down below £2 is not going to make it happen..... The opinion across every major market commentator is that the tide has turned for banking sector stocks, so apart from the odd ripple these are set to build on the gains already realised in the last six months rather than give them up....

Always bangs in a big 6p rise to flatland back to 230p. It is testing a few low points but 224 to 232 is being maintained!

[spoole5] 28/3/2017 12:41

There are increasingly no legs in these rises, quick reversals very bearish. Close below 219 would indicate a move back to 2 quid, then big gap down to 185. Lots of uncertainty, very few positive catalysts.

[astol] 28/3/2017 08:14

great clawed back the share price loss yesterday-onwards and upwards!!!

[astol] 27/3/2017 22:18

Yes bernie37 you got it in one decent rise across the pond should give good boost to share price tomorrow ?

[bernie37] 27/3/2017 22:04

Should see some movement on the up tomorrow , fingers crossed .

[bernie37] 27/3/2017 22:02

Nice little rise, over the pond.

[astol] 27/3/2017 18:08

Should see a good bounce back tomorrow as Barc ADRs now above Fridays close $11.26 so expect + 3-4p?
The thing is the pullback was just a Trump sentiment set back,the fundamentals of a strong US economy are still in place and a dip on Barclays share price today beckons a good rise tomorrow and positive brokers targets in the 270s in recent weeks

[astol] 27/3/2017 15:23

spoole5 - support for Barc is v strong at 221p so forget 200p.These are a bargain at the current level so close yr short and climb on board.They will be back to 230p and re- iterate forget 200p

[andrewbaker] 27/3/2017 14:15

The drop, probably due to the recent publicity regarding the 2008 Arab loan connection and FCA looking into things, is a good opportunity to buy or add, IMHO.

Disclosure: long BARC.

New set of stress tests for the UK's retail banks:


Banks must show they can cope with a recession in the global economy and in the UK, interest rates peaking at 4%, and with house prices falling by a third. The second scenario assumes weak global trade, UK interest rates being cut to 0%, and increasing competition for the major lenders from smaller, challenger banks.

[spoole5] 27/3/2017 08:18

2 quid coming. No help from trump as he clearly won't be able get anything through the house and uncertainties mount.
