The UK 100 called to open +20 points this morning at 9,088. The UK 100 looks set to bounce back at the start of the week, after the last one finished with a widespread sell-off as US ‘reciprocal’ tariffs were confirmed for many countries and Donald Trump sacked one of the country’s chief statisticians.
Stateside Friday saw severe drops across indices as weak US official jobs data, with 73,000 nonfarm payroll gains for June far below expectations, President Trump fired the chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Dow Jones dropped 542.40 points, or 1.23%, closing at 43,588.58 and notching its worst decline since June 13. The S&P shed 1.60% to end at 6,238.01 and post its worst day since May 21, while the Nasdaq dipped 2.24% and settled at 20,650.13 for its biggest slide since April 21.
Lloyds Banking Group says it believes the impact is “unlikely to be material” for the company. The UK’s highest court ruled that, in many cases, commission payments could be legal, but some lenders did act unfairly due in part to the size of the commission they paid to motor dealers and how it was disclosed. The Financial Conduct Authority issued a follow-up statement on Sunday, confirming its previous guidance proposing a redress scheme for customers affected, but with individual payouts not expected to be particularly large. A consultation will be launched on the redress scheme for discretionary commission arrangements (DCA) and to decide which non-DCA arrangements and other factors should be included. Lloyds said in a statement that there remain “a number of uncertainties” and there could be “further interventions”, but “the group currently believes that if there is any change to the provision it is unlikely to be material in the context of the group”.
