bill......on top of all that, Jes remains silent and it appears clueless as to a forward thinking strategy regarding the IB.

So, with a falling share price, no sign of a share buy back, a possible no deal Brexit upon us - apart from probably seeing an end to PPI is there any good news?

Portside - I've asked this before but when you post facts, some of which are very important please provide a link to the source. Without one, nobody knows whether you're just making it up.

Barclays eager for share buyback, but likely to wait until after BoE stress test

Staley stated at the time of Barclays' 2017 full-year earnings report that a share buyback would be in the cards for Barclays in the future, as the bank sought to pursue a policy of returning more capital to shareholders.

London-based Barclays PLC is one such institution that is finding the current interest rate climate difficult.

The most recent management commentary on Barclays financial results contains numerous references to the “challenging” environment.

While the short-term rates in the US are at historically low levels, they remain in positive territory, while European Central bank rates are effectively zero, and longer-term debt markets in Europe aren’t much higher. Thanks to a massive undertaking of quantitative easing, European government bond yields remain well below their US equivalents.

Low rates decimate profits at lending institutions because they reduce the spread between borrowing and lending rates to uncomfortably low levels.

During 2019, Barclays shares have badly lagged the performance of the foreign banks sub-industry and the S&P 500, falling 6% versus gains of 3% and more than 15%, respectively.

Quite admirably, Barclays management has focused on cost cutting and operational efficiency and in the long term, those moves might pay off, but it’s not a plan for growth in the near future. They’re basically treading water. 3,000 layoffs were recently announced this past Spring, even after management vowed that no jobs would be lost.

Certainly, you can’t fault a nimble management team or taking aggressive steps to ensure survival in the worst possible conditions, but jobs cut don’t tend to be an indication of growth prospects. Recent global events make it likely that rates will stay low for the foreseeable future.

Earnings estimates for Barclays have been falling lately, earning the beleaguered bank a Zacks rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Even worse than falling earnings estimates for banks are low marks in Return on Equity, Return

Yesterday

India , Thailand and New Zealand ALL dropped their rates

They did so to try to keep people in work and try to keep GDP up

This was the 4th time in 2019 that India has cut rates as their GDP has fallen.

Lower rates hurt banks
