So the UK government is offering lenders protection when providing mortgages to 1st time home buyers woth a minimum of 5 % down. I think this is nuts on the government side but would think it would be good for the banks. Where is the pop in UK bank stocks?

Looking very good and holding its own with the drop in the market. No other company has such cheap options ?
I keep reading that UK bank share prices are depressed as there is little inflation forecast to push up interest rates and higher interest rates are needed to improve profits. Today I read that UK bank share prices have fallen as the market is worried that inflation and interest rates might increase. Do market commentators have any idea about the guff that they push out sometimes?

isn't the rise of yields good for bank stocks? eventually this should result in rate increases. or am I missing something?

The bank said it would pay a 0.57 pence dividend per share, the maximum allowed by the Bank of England and above a forecast of 0.53 pence. 0.57 pence =.008 cents
Fairly low volume recently.
