Barclays Bank of Kenya sign a patnership with Dt Dobies

[topicel] 23/6/2016 08:42

Of course it does, but only the outcome, not the propaganda...

Capeview, did I say Ireland? Of course I meant to put a 'c' instead of an 'r', lol.

Anyway, what triggered that sudden dip back into the red, seeing as it is stick to trading Barclays day? I suspect simply volatility that will be a boon for all active traders all day long. Presuming you are placing big enough bets of course...

It will all be over very soon....will it ever never ever never stop raining in London?....

[joe say] 23/6/2016 08:36

The irony !!!!

You don't think the vote has any impact on Barclays ?

And yet Project Fear has been dependent on the post Brexit collapse drivel argument put forward by Call me Dave and the slippery GO (apt initials)

[topicel] 23/6/2016 08:21

Thank you Johnwise, a Barclays related item!

Everyone has now had their say on the 'R' thing and, as we vote perhaps we could follow the restrictions imposed on the media and canvassing and suspend the topic. Whatever the result, we won't now be able to change it so please let's focus on the reason Ken has created this thread from no on - to discuss and consider the merits of how to trade Barclays shares....

And well done the Irish last night!

Retailers will be up today as Tesco reported growth and Sainsburys a few weeks ago.

Barclays might push up to 190p if the ftse is strong as the report and the index betting companies indicate.

LONDON MARKET PRE-OPEN: Shares Seen Up; Tesco Sells Coffee Shops
June 23, 2016 07:40:08

LONDON (Alliance News) – Stocks in London are called for a positive open Thursday, as Britons head to the polling stations to decide in a historic referendum on whether the UK remains a member of the European Union or leaves the bloc.

IG says futures indicate the FTSE 100 index to open 63.71 points higher at 6,324.90. The index closed up 0.6%, or 34.64 points, at 6,261.19 on Wednesday, as investors seemed confident the Remain campaign will win the vote.


Investors shrugged off results from the Daily Telegraph’s barometer, which is based on the average of the last six polls released, showing both Remain and Leave campaigns level-pegging at 50% apiece, taking out undecided voters.


“Guessing what the reaction to a once-in-a-lifetime event would be is a tall order, but I’ve had a go,” says CMC Markets analyst Jasper Lawler. “My first thought is that it’s less symmetric now that it was a week ago. The final pre-vote poll (from ComRes) showed a small majority for ‘Remain’ and the pound is higher.”


The ComRes opinion poll conducted for the Daily Mail newspaper and ITV television showed the Remain camp had a lead over Leave of 48% to 42%. The telephone survey was conducted between June 17 and June 22. That represented an increase in the Remain camp’s lead, as a previous ComRes poll for The Sun newspaper, published on June 14, had given it an advantage of just one point.


Sterling is quoted at USD1.4797 before the London equities open Thursday. The currency stood at USD1.4712 at the London close Wednesday, having touched a high of USD1.4844, its highest level so far in 2016.


“Expect to see increasing levels of volatility in the interim, and the markets are likely to turn very wild once the outcome of the referendum becomes clear in the early hours of Friday,” says FOREX.com analyst Fawad Razaqzada.


Polling stations open Thursday at 0700 BST and will close at 2200 BST.


In testimony to the US Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen warned that a vote to Leave by the UK could have “significant economic repercussions”. Yellen returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to deliver her semi-annual testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. The Fed Chair reiterated that the US central bank will take a cautious approach to raising interest rates at upcoming meetings.


Wall Street ended lower Wednesday, with the Dow 30 index down 0.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite ended both down 0.2%.


In Asia on Thursday, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index added 1.1% despite Japan’s manufacturing activity deteriorated for the fourth consecutive in June, the latest flash survey from Markit Economics showed.


The Markit/Nikkei Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index rose marginally to 47.8 in June from 47.7 in the previous month. However, any reading below 50 suggests contraction in the sector.


In China, the Shanghai Composite index is down 0.6%, while the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong is up 0.4%.


Also in the economic calendar Thursday, Markit manufacturing, services and composite PMI readings for France, Germany and the eurozone are at 0800 BST, 0830 BST and 0900, respectively.


In the US, initial and continuing jobless claims are at 1330 BST, while the Markit manufacturing PMI is at 1445 BST. US new home sales are at 1500 BST.


In UK company news, Tesco reported growth in like-for-like sales in the first quarter of its financial year, marking its second consecutive quarter of like-for-like growth, and announced that it is selling its Harris + Hoole coffee shop business. The FTSE 100 supermarket chain said like-for-like sales in the 13 weeks ended May 28 grew by 0.9% year-on-year, with 0.3% growth in the UK and and 3.0% in the international business.


The retailer also announced that it has agreed the sale of its Harris + Hoole coffee shop business, but did not provide any more details on the sale. This comes after its recent sales of the Giraffe restaurant chain and Dobbies Garden Centres business in the last couple of weeks.


Defence, aerospace and satellite communications technology company Cobham said it has secured a contract with aircraft manufacturer Airbus NV to supply the Inmarsat SB200 Evolution Service safety system.


The contract, which will see aircraft in Airbus’s single aisle and long-range aircraft ranges fitted with the communications technology from 2018, could be worth around USD200.0 million, Cobham said, with the potential for additional revenue as demand for satellite communications capability on board aircraft increases.


Drugmaker AstraZeneca said the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US has made a negative interim recommendation on the use of the UK’s group’s FluMist treatment for the 2016-17 influenza season.


The updated guidance from the ACIP states the vaccine should not be used in any setting, based on CDC vaccine effectiveness data from the last three influenza seasons in the US. This indicated AstraZeneca’s FluMist Quadrivalent did not demonstrate any statistically-significant effectiveness in children aged between two and 17.


AstraZeneca said the data from the CDC contrast with its own studies and those from health authorities in other countries, which showed a 46% to 58% effectiveness of the vaccine against circulating influenza strains. AstraZeneca said distribution and use of the vaccine is progressing as planned in other countries.

Come on Chris if that was the case there would not have been a near 50/50 split that grew when people were presented with the facts. Are you trying to say all the educated people want to stay and all those general plebs want out.

Somethings tells me we will stay because of the fear factor, but anyone following Europe will tell you it will grow slowly and the pigs could easily face economic disaster. All of which we will be held accountable for.

[christh] 22/6/2016 23:39

Consider who you’d be voting with.

Remain is supported by the NHS staff, scientists and management, most farmers, the overwhelming majority of large and small businesses, universities, scientists, the current and all former NATO chiefs, 12 former heads of the British Armed Forces.

Leave has the support of the far right of the Tory party, Farage, Gove, David Icke, Donald Trump, George Galloway and extreme right-wing groups such as the British National Party and the French National Front.

Brought the nation together?!?

Jaysus.

Which nation? :)

[terminated] 22/6/2016 23:19

If nothing else it's brought the nation together, and we learned a lot about the EU and our politicians. It was democracy in action and I'm proud we had the balls to question what was happening. I wonder if the person in the street voting on major matters like these will be consigned to history if we stay. It probably will. I'm still undecided but I'm glad the nation was consulted on decisions that affect their lives in such a monumental way.

[dr biotech] 22/6/2016 22:57

There are plenty who will be wise after the event either way. And some will dine on it for years, how often do people claim credit for predicting the recession of 2008 or other events? I picked the national winner 5 years ago, doesn't make me an expert on horses.

All I hope now is for a big turnout and the result to be respected, (preferably in for me.)

Lol terminated..I agree 100% well put!!
