170s coming

Very true 812.

The end of week price will be determined by the FTSE sentiment, which at the moment is strong. Banking fears allayed, recession fears allayed and with no immediate chart resistance this could test the high 140s very soon. A break above will be very positive.

Banning petrol cars by 2030 is a crazy act of self-sabotage


Britain risks being left at an increasing disadvantage to the rest of the developed world


It was the moment that the entire car industry – and the large majority of drivers – had been dreading: confirmation that a proposed ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030 would go ahead as planned.

Last October’s announcement, from the then transport secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, is a central plank of the Government’s ambitions of hitting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Less than six months later, however, and the policy is in danger of coming apart at the seams after Brussels heavily watered down its restrictions amid growing opposition from Germany’s big carmakers.

With the European Union left fiercely backpedaling, there is little hope of the UK’s position holding.

It probably won’t be this Government that bites the bullet, but ultimately the deadline will have to be moved, probably back to 2035 so it is in line with other Western countries.

Tory to continue to destroy the quality of our lives

After the Torys cost of energy has wrecked the economy, now they have the nerve to plan for more of the same green nonsense..

Wind and solar need 100% backup from reliable sources of energy, and this is what the Tories come up with! If you want better energy security at affordable prices, you better not vote Tory, Labour, Greens, SNP Stop voting for more of the same..


Brits to be offered hundreds off their energy bills if they agree to a WIND FARM being built near their homes as part of government's new 'Powering up Britain' plan

Maybe not 150 by close on Friday but 148 is realistic.

[oneillshaun] 29/3/2023 17:38

Divided reinvest this week so pretty sure it will close a little higher at the end of the week but not 150 just yet

Barclays has announced plans to shut 14 more bank branches across England and Wales.
====================================================================================

The latest list of closures will take place in June in another blow for the struggling high street.

It comes on top of the 55 branches Barclays had already announced would shut this year - and now means the bank will close at least 69 branches by the end of 2023.

Barclays customers who need face-to-face support have few options left if their local branch is shutting and there is no Post Office nearby.

Good point

London Mayor Khan NEEDS MONEY because TFL has an unrealistic cost base, but he is Labour and so cannot take on the TFL unions to reduce costs. For those of you thinking of buying "compliant" cars to avoid the ULEZ etc. charges, be aware that when you do Mr Khan will just move the goalposts (for EV's targeting congestion, tyre wear pollution and road safety) to try to keep the money rolling in, but ultimately this will fail because people have a choice & increasing numbers will choose not to visit, work or live in London due to the cost and the difficulty of getting anywhere. Those that remain will be faced with living in a declining and decaying city, with all the associated difficulties that will bring. Mr Khan will be the proud king of a ghost town..

Andrew Bailey: it’s all your fault

To say this is a disappointing piece of analysis from the country’s central banker is something of an understatement. As he should know, in a properly working market economy, providers of goods and services charge what the market will bear. In conditions like today’s, many businesses are not raising prices, or only a little, in a desperate attempt to stay in business.

"Johnwise, pretty sure it was the conservatives that introduced congestion charging? 😉"

Red Ken Livingstone was the guy. Labour launched a war on the motorist and introduced all kinds of laws aimed at hammering the car owner. No dougt they can't wait to start of where they left.

China’s central bank pumps more liquidity into market

Climate change--Global warming Scam Update:


Powell defends Fed’s increasing focus on climate change threats

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday defended the Fed’s increasing scrutiny of the threat that climate change could pose to the health of the United States’ banks, after some Republican members of Congress had complained that by doing so the Fed was overstepping its mandate.

Over the past year, the Fed has taken steps to incorporate the risks from climate change into its oversight of the US financial system. A key part of the Fed’s mandate, in addition to setting short-term interest rates to either stimulate or slow the economy, is regulating banks to guard against excessive risk-taking.

Climate risks include the potential for banks to hold too many mortgage loans for homes in coastal areas that are threatened by rising sea levels, or loans to oil and gas drillers that could fail if energy generation switches to renewable sources.

Last month, 12 Republican senators wrote a letter to Powell accusing the central bank of moving “beyond the scope of the Federal Reserve’s mission.”

So in other words JP M is your insurance policy in the event of a default... but if you take out an insurance policy doesn't your payout (yield) go down in the event of no default?...the yield must be huge to start with and the margin narrows during the duration or if rates rise or fall...
