StanChart, Barclays see UK reform costs over $2 billion

Barclays was in demand following a big push from Citigroup The broker upped its target price for the lender to 245p from 230p and repeated its "buy" rating on the stock.
"We believe BarCap [Barclays' investment banking unit] can be a winner in the consolidating world of capital markets," said analysts at Citigroup.
The analysts concluded: "In the near-term we believe Barclays earnings could surprise on the upside via a combination of cost flexibility in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a seasonal revenue uptick in first quarter of 2012. Longer term much will depend on Barclays' reaction to new regulation, but we believe the bank is well placed to benefit from a wider withdrawal in FICC [fixed income commodities and currencies] competition".

Hi Plateman - I'm hoping to get BARC @205-210 but may not get the chance this time. My last two trades on it have been similar - sell for
+30-40p and buy back 10-15 lower.
I also hold RBS and LLOY from varying prices both lower than yours BUT also some from higher!
Good luck!

Cheers Skinny, I expect we'll see a bit of a retracement from here, so you'll probably be able to get back in again.
