Spot on diku also people's inheritance and spending power from that, inheritance tax etc etc people don't build houses in a property slump there's no money in it so sit on their land banks. Certainly bouyant property market is vital unless you rent or are looking at getting on the ladder. Lord knows how much tax I've paid at b&q alone over the yrs 😂

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Britain's economy is rebounding rapidly, according to economists, as early data points to a boom in spending after reopening.

German investment bank Deutsche Bank (DB) this week said the UK economy was off to a "roaring start", while analysts at Barclay's (BARC.L) said early indicators suggested a "sharp uptick in activity" after shops, outdoor restaurants, beer gardens and leisure facilities such as gyms reopened on 12 April.

Private sector forecasts of UK GDP compiled by the Treasury show a big leap in expectations among economists. New data published on Wednesday showed the average forecast for UK growth in 2021 is now 5.7% — a huge improvement from the average forecast of 4.8% just a month before.

Reidy66 : lets hope that the 179.08 was the bottom and we have had our 5-6% retracement. Nice bit of profit taking ready for the next leg me hopes .

The so called 'roaring comeback' has started in the UK so lets see the ftse and the UK banks move accordingly.... Dow is 200 up again.

Hopefully Manics once the Q1 results are published next week we will see nw highs and a push through 190 towards £2. Let's hope so.
