4 November 2026
The market has risen strongly today with the FTSE 100 up 200 points in early afternoon trade at 10,835. The rally has largely been caused by a strong performance from the banking sector. Readers may recall that we tipped shares in Lloyds Banking Group yesterday at 94.5p and it is pleasing to that they have risen to 97.7p already. It is interesting to note today’s announcement that Nathan Bostock, a non-executive director, has bought 50,000 shares at 94.944p each. Continue to buy!
