Barclays expected to report growing profits this week, with chief executive Jes Staley under the microscope over whistleblower investigation

City analysts are expecting pre-tax profits of around £1.5bn, up 66 per cent from £902m in the same period in 2016.

Say what you like about Barclays’ American boss Jes Staley (please, knock yourself out) but don’t assume he’s a stereotypical Wall Streeter with an underdeveloped sense of irony.

Staley has, of course, landed himself in the soup over his attempts to unmask an internal whistleblower, who was supposedly saying mean things about a close pal and colleague. That resulted in an official warning for Staley earlier this month – but a more charitable interpretation might be that the bungling spymaster act was merely a satirical homage to the old Barclaycard ads featuring Rowan Atkinson’s incompetent MI7 spook, Latham.

You remember the sort of thing: an earnest Latham tries to show off his espionage skills, only to accidentally shoot himself in the scrotum with a tranquilliser pen. Or the one where our hero tries to buy a carpet by haggling with a trader in local dialect: “You sound fluent, sir.” “We are both fluent, Bough; sadly in different languages”.

So, by that reading, Staley’s efforts were not the shameful trampling over whistleblower protocols they originally appeared to be. Instead, they were a cruelly misunderstood and affectionate comic tribute to a vintage period of the bank’s advertising. Please remember that when he faces the City for the first time since being publicly disgraced, at Barclays’s quarterly results this week.

At 26.44, the S&P 500’s Price/Earnings ratio is the highest EVER, except for two occasions: the 2008 crash, and the 2000 crash.

At 28.93, the “Shiller P/E ratio”, which looks at company valuations over a longer-term, 10-year period and adjusts for inflation, is at the highest level EVER, except for two occasions: the 2000 crash, and the 1929 crash.

Price to sales ratios are near the highest levels in at least 50 years.

Price to book ratios haven’t been at this level since the 2008 crash.

And the stock market cap to GDP ratio is the highest since the 2000 crash

Southern European banks are carrying so much debt, they need to finish with the EURO. Germany can wait! European dominance, tried twice and failed. Banks are the life blood of every economy and are needed. NO European Country is the same and that is the problem, European union is not THERE and never has BEEN. For EUROPE to succeed, a time scale should have been implemented.

French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front has vowed that France should exit the euro currency should she come to power.

If so, it would become a doomsday scenario for Europe and the rest of the world.

Le Pen, who hopes to be elected president of France in May, not only proposes France junking the euro but intends holding a future referendum on France coming out of the European Union. It poses huge existential risks to the future of a united Europe with serious consequences for future European financial stability.

All it would take would be for one European nation to turn its nose up at the single currency and the European project is done for. The consequences for world financial markets would be cataclysmic. Global economic confidence would be devastated yet again, putting the chances of a rerun of 2008’s financial crash very high on the danger list.

If that were to happen rates won't be going up anytime soon...why bother having rates at all.... just press the re set button...

Le Pen would, according to rating agencies, be likely to amount to the largest sovereign default on record, nearly 10 times larger than the €200bn Greek debt restructuring in 2012, threatening chaos to the world financial system on top of the collapse of the single currency
