Sharecast - Housebuilders were in the black, having tumbled last week amid worries about surging borrowing costs. Berkeley, Taylor Wimpey (LON:TW) and Barratt all rose.
Lloyds was in the red as JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) Cazenove downgraded its stance on the bank to ‘underweight’ from ‘neutral’ as it took a look at UK banks.
JPM said that with the scenario of further rate hikes well into restrictive territory now on the table, its house view is that probability of a hard landing for the UK economy is higher and it now expects earnings per share cuts for the UK banks to intensify with risks to capital return and asset quality.
"We are cutting our already below consensus EPS forecasts by another 3-9% for FY24/25 and are now double digits below consensus," it said.
