Barclays share price falls as BoE capital relief fails to steady UK bank stocks

Barclays PLC sold off harder than the London market on Wednesday, closing near 498p after a two-day fall of about 6%. The fall does not kill the bull case.

NatWest shares up as UK rate moves draw buyers to banks

NatWest Group Plc shares pushed higher Thursday, gaining 7.40p, or 1.26%, to trade at 593.40p/593.60p, according to delayed Hargreaves Lansdown prices. Investors bought back into UK financials, putting NatWest near the top of the UK bank movers as the FTSE 100 showed a 0.80% rise on the same feed. Rate expectations drove much of the action. NatWest’s UK focus puts it right in the path of the Bank of England’s rate decisions, which is why investors pay such close attention. AJ Bell says about 90% of NatWest’s total income comes from the UK. That means UK rate moves feed more directly into its lending numbers compared with banks with more global business.
