Lloyds kicks off £1.75bn buyback after profit beat — and lifts 2026 target

Lloyds kicks off £1.75bn buyback after profit beat — and lifts 2026 target

Lloyds Banking Group began a share buyback of up to £1.75 billion on Friday, launching a programme it said will run until no later than Dec. 31, 2026 and be conducted independently by Goldman Sachs International. The bank said it intends to cancel the shares it repurchases. The move lands as British lenders try to show they can keep returns coming even as interest rates ease and mortgage competition stays tight. Lloyds reported a better-than-expected 12% rise in 2025 profit and lifted its 2026 return on tangible equity — profit on shareholders’ funds excluding goodwill — to more than 16%.

Sensex, Nifty slip before Budget 2026 as rupee hits record low — 5 forces spooking markets

Sensex, Nifty slip before Budget 2026 as rupee hits record low — 5 forces spooking markets

Indian equities closed lower on Friday and logged their biggest monthly decline in nearly a year, as foreign selling and a sliding rupee kept investors cautious ahead of Sunday’s federal budget. The Nifty 50 ended January down 3.1%, while the BSE Sensex fell 3.5%. The timing matters. India’s budget lands with the currency under stress and crude oil climbing, forcing investors to weigh growth support against fiscal discipline. Markets will open on Sunday for a special session as Sitharaman delivers the budget for 2026-27.

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold and silver sank on Friday, snapping a month-long surge, as traders positioned for President Donald Trump’s expected announcement on who will lead the U.S. Federal Reserve next. The move matters because the rally in precious metals has been tied to a weak dollar and bets that U.S. policy would stay loose. With Kevin Warsh widely seen as the front-runner, the U.S. currency and Treasury yields rose, undercutting bullion’s appeal. The “dollar debasement” trade — buying gold as a hedge against the currency losing value — went into reverse.
