NatWest share price holds rally as UK rate bets top bank’s 2026 case

NatWest share price holds rally as UK rate bets top bank’s 2026 case

NatWest Group shares were little changed on Wednesday but had kept about three-quarters of Monday’s 3.95% jump. At 1302 BST in open London trade, the stock was down 0.09% at 656.6 pence after touching 661.4 pence. It remained about 2.9% above Friday’s close. Monday’s move was sector-wide. Barclays gained 3.9% and NatWest about 4% after Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned and Andy Burnham emerged as the front-runner to replace him. Morningstar equities strategist Michael Field said, “The potential election of a popular candidate like Andy Burnham would likely improve market perception.”

Lloyds shares rise as UK bank rally offsets rate-margin worries

Lloyds shares rise as UK bank rally offsets rate-margin worries

Lloyds Banking Group shares rose on Wednesday, joining a rally in UK domestic banks as softer inflation data eased near-term worries about a Bank of England rate increase, while leaving investors to weigh what a steadier rate path means for lender margins. The stock was quoted at 105.25p to sell and 105.30p to buy after the London market closed, up 1.75p, or 1.68%, Hargreaves Lansdown data showed. Trading volume was about 112.3 million shares.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Dips to 6.43%, but Spring Buyers Get Little Relief

UK mortgage rates shift as major lenders diverge on pricing

UK mortgage lenders are split again. NatWest will hike some rates from Thursday, while Barclays and Santander are cutting some products. The moves show lenders are still responding to choppy funding costs, not the Bank of England’s steady base rate. The split is important as a big refinancing wave has started. UK Finance expects 1.8 million fixed-rate mortgages, where borrowers have a set interest rate for a period, will end in 2026. That will push households to choose whether to lock in a deal now or gamble on how the market moves.

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Falls as Gilt Yields Surge

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Falls as Gilt Yields Surge

London’s FTSE 100 slipped on Tuesday, dropping 0.48% to 10,219.95 as traders backed away from UK assets following a jump in gilt yields and fresh questions about Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s future. The index touched a session low of 10,152.05, with volume at 117.9 million shares, according to delayed figures from LSEG. Over the past year, the FTSE 100 has ranged between 8,531.06 and 10,934.94. Why it’s significant: the selloff didn’t just hit one corner of the market. Yields on long-dated UK government bonds shot up to highs not seen in nearly 30 years, sterling slid, and banks paced the losses among stocks. After taking a drubbing in local elections, with almost 80 Labour MPs demanding he name an exit date, Starmer planned to huddle with his cabinet.

NatWest Mortgage Rates Rise Again as UK Rate-Cut Hopes Crumble

NatWest Mortgage Rates Rise Again as UK Rate-Cut Hopes Crumble

NatWest Group Plc is once more bumping up mortgage rates, this time for certain current customers and those looking to increase their borrowing, according to broker notifications. The changes kick in Tuesday, just days after NatWest pushed up pricing on its new mortgages. Mortgage Introducer says the bank has confirmed rate hikes for both existing-customer and additional-borrowing products, effective March 10. That shift is significant: UK mortgage rates had briefly dipped, but snapped back quickly. Oil powering past $100 a barrel has jolted markets, sending UK government bond yields higher and shaking up investor expectations for the Bank of England. The Bank Rate sits at 3.75%, with a policy call coming up March 19.

NatWest’s £2.7bn Evelyn Partners buy shakes up UK wealth banking — and investors flinch

NatWest’s £2.7bn Evelyn Partners buy shakes up UK wealth banking — and investors flinch

NatWest Group said it will buy UK wealth manager Evelyn Partners for £2.7 billion, including debt, and launch a £750 million share buyback, pushing deeper into fee-based financial advice as lenders brace for softer interest income. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-09/natwest-to-buy-uk-wealth-manager-evelyn-in-2-7-billion-deal The move matters now because UK banks are hunting steadier income as rate cuts squeeze net interest margins — the spread banks earn between what they charge borrowers and pay savers. Wealth management brings recurring fees and is typically less capital-hungry than traditional lending.
