  • Lloyds shares hold above 100p ahead of inflation data and BoE decisions
    January 18, 2026, 8:13 AM EST. London - Lloyds Banking Group closed at 102.10p, flat for the session. With UK inflation due Jan. 21 and BoE minutes on Feb. 5, traders monitor rate paths that affect Lloyds' net interest margin and funding costs. Markets price two 25bp cuts this year, but odds of a June move are only about 6%. The FTSE 100 edged 0.04% lower to 10,235.29. A Lloyds housing note points to a Bank Rate around 3.25% and mortgage rates near 4%, though rising unemployment could inject uncertainty. Higher inflation could delay cuts; faster easing could squeeze margins. NatWest rose 2.16% on Friday. Lloyds reports 2025 results on Jan. 29, with focus on margin guidance, credit quality and capital returns.
