Glencore announced Tuesday that chief executive Ivan Glasenberg resigned from the board of Russian aluminium producer Rusal amid US sanctions imposed against the Russian firm.

Glencore said it would not proceed with its previously signed transaction with EN+, which involved swapping shares in Rusal for global depositary receipts in EN+.

The group said that it was still evaluating the position under its contracts with Rusal for the purchase of aluminium and alumina, but noted that these contracts were 'not financially material to Glencore.'

'Glencore is committed to complying with all applicable sanctions in its business and is taking all necessary measures in order to mitigate any risks to Glencore's business as result of the designation of Rusal and EN+ as SDNs, including in respect of secondary sanctions,' the firm said. At 8:02am: (LON:GLEN) Glencore PLC share price was +11.38p at 350.53p

If it wasn't so childish, it would be almost amusing that as the clock shows 9.00am the FTSE100 drops 20 points.

One day there may be grown-ups controlling London markets.

Shame the volatility is gone from here hard to make any cash at the mo.

now the news feed works

[leedskier] 09/4/2018 07:40

I wonder if there is an issue with the market news feed today? Or is it just a case of 'no news' is 'good news'.

For all the criticisms that are made of the British political system, the absence of a 'supreme president' avoids financial corruption at the top of Government.

With news this week of former presidents of both Brazil and South Korea joining the list of those convicted and/or imprisoned, it is demonstrably the case that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

China trade wars have replaced Greek debt & brexit as the excuse for daily volatility.

Yesterday China trade wars worries were fading, today they have returned in technicolour.

Banks should start charging for retail services. They do in other European countries.

Reference the RNS, BARC has also got the treatment:

Barclays Plc’s debt ratings were cut to one level above junk by Moody’s Investors Service on Wednesday, after the U.K. bank separated its investment banking activities from retail operations to comply with new rules.

Annie
Forgive me interrupting but have you tried sending an e-mail to Signature ?
They have always replied when I have sent them an e-mail, even if slightly delayed.

Dear C.I Many thanks for your message. I am still getting emails from Signature and I am just an ordinary shareholder so hopefully the cheque will turn up. Thank you again I really appreciate your kindness. Annie

I don't think that matters much to the ardent brexiteer. It's all europe's fault.

None of which will stem the rise in violent crime in Tottenham and the surrounding suburbs in London. Those involved in these gang wars were born and bred in London.

I conclude "V" is Victoria Cappin - by the way the "Action Group" are not allowed to communicate with Claimants in any way !

If it helps a lot of us are in the same boat.

I didn't get any money in the first tranche and I can only assume those who were paid were :-
1) Non PIs (because they are large and evidence of their holding would be straightforward)
2) PIs who bought their shares in their own name (i.e. those who didn't use a nominee account).
But it is only an assumption !

I wouldn't worry - at least Signature have not approached you for evidence so that's a good sign.

I'm also assuming the momentum for the payouts is being driven by RBS and they will be in contact with the Registrars (Computerserve in Bristol).
If it is a Nominee Account then they in turn will be contacting the Brokers to get the information on the Rights Issues holders.
If they can then match that information with the information on a Claimant then there will be a payout.
But again it is only an assumption !

Are you getting emails from Signature ?
(the last one moved things along a lot and was very informative)
