Exactly, gsk is basically a $ valued company. Other things equal, when £/$ goes down, its price in £ will be up.

Interest rate rise next week could lead to £ goes down if the announcement wording makes it clear that it is a one off for a long time to come, and vice versa.

whatsup32 - I'm with you, GSK was a significant beneficiary of the referendum and sterling's depreciation.

[whatsup32] 29/7/2018 15:48

Not sure I follow either . Interest rate increase usually means pound going up in value, the dollar will have less value against pound.

Last November (previous rate increase), the blue-chip FTSE 100, whose performance is shaped by the value of sterling, rose following the decision and ended 0.9 per cent higher. This time GSK should also respond well, since a large part of its earnings are $ based, which on a falling pound return a higher income to GSK.

TM, sorry to appear thick but can you explain in laymen's terms how a BoE interest increase would affect us GSK holders. I'm sure said increase is around the corner, with more to follow. N.R.

10 days till the qualifier for the next dividend, with a possible BoE interest rate increase en route ….. ;0)

GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) said Friday that the European Medicines Agency has issued a positive opinion recommending its Nucala drug as an add-on treatment for asthma in young patients.
"If approved Nucala could provide an additional option for younger patients in Europe who still struggle to control their asthma despite taking inhaled steroids and other controller medications," Chief Scientific Officer Hal Barron said.
An EMA positive opinion is one of the final steps towards a marketing authorization within the European Union.
GlaxoSmithKline said that if approved, Nucala would be the first targeted biologic therapy for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma in pediatric patients in Europe.

That dip to 1485p support, was a great opportunity, I expect Monty bought in, he loves a quarterly divi or two!

[watfordhornet] 27/7/2018 17:57

Will be a good move. Impressive guy at HSBC - also very normal unlike a lot of main board members

[philanderer] 27/7/2018 09:49

27th july HSBC 'buy' ... tp 2000p up from 1950p

[tradermichael] 27/7/2018 09:47

I did the same (1608p) for Monday (expecting a rise from the Chairman's hints and product news) - just for speculation


maybe I'll get back to trading on the smaller swings ….. ;0).

[sicker] 27/7/2018 08:55

I put in a limit sell for 1000 @ £16.00 a couple of days ago. Did not quite get there by a few pence :-)
p.s. will wait for £17 now :-)

[tradermichael] 27/7/2018 08:23

IN, 3500 @ 1532p ….. ;0)

[ny boy] 26/7/2018 16:54

Test and break through 1540p tomorrow, Head back to test 1600p resistance over the summer imho For sure thirsty divi hunters were buying todays market opportunity GLA

[mattboxy] 26/7/2018 15:28

Perhaps some were in it for the split that ft alluded to on Friday When it wasn't in the results maybe they sold ... maybe???

[lurker] 26/7/2018 15:07

Well I said that Monty gave us all a buy signal at £15 - thanks for encouraging me to open a tasty spread bet which I have just closed...meanwhile my investments shares continue with their excellent divis in my ISAs and SIPPs

[ny boy] 26/7/2018 15:07

This sell off just became silly, well it is the silly summer season, phew, get my chilled afternoon Pimms ready!

[ny boy] 26/7/2018 11:59

From memory some decent support around 1485p, so I would be surprised to see loweron this move, already 100p off yesterday’s intra high. Divi hunters will be coming in too., ex div next Thursday

[romeike] 26/7/2018 11:45

GSK good results -4% AZN meh results +3%

When are folks going to get it - Pfizer isn't coming back.

[pugugly] 26/7/2018 11:06

imo - As said previously adjustment of dividend flagged as possible (reading between the lines) of cash flow comments in presentation/accounts yesterday - or am I being paranoid?
If correct some income funds may be selling down but have alread lost 1 year+ divs from yesterday.

FDA rejection this morning doesn't help. I've not really looked into the trials, but to get more data to prove efficacy is always a slow process. No really sure how much was expected of that but its hard to separate the rejection from the initially positive results.

[romeike] 26/7/2018 10:54

If you agree with Monty I feel sorry for you. Added at 1487p
