As London gets ready for the first trading session of December 2025, Standard Chartered PLC goes into Monday’s open sitting right next to its 52‑week – and effectively record – high. The Asia‑focused FTSE 100 bank has just delivered strong third‑quarter numbers, accelerated its share buyback, and enjoyed a powerful year‑to‑date rally. At the same time, it faces a fresh legal overhang from a US$2.7 billion 1MDB‑linked lawsuit, a rating‑outlook downgrade from Moody’s, and new signs of economic cooling in China – one of its core markets.
