Despite slim majority of 528, many constituents of potential Labour leadership candidate seem rather fond of him Wes Streeting’s potential leadership bid has been the subject of mockery from figures within Labour – and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s slapdown of the former health secretary in the Commons on Wednesday went viral on social media. However, in Streeting’s parliamentary seat of Ilford North, his constituents seem rather fond of him and pleased with the prospect that their MP could get the keys to No 10. Lesley, who works in Tesco in Barkingside, said: “He’d be very good. He comes into Tesco’s a lot, he’s a nice man. He talks to all of us.” Continue reading...

Getty Images Introduction All figures in Euro So far in 2026, shares of ABN AMRO ( AAVMY ) have modestly outperformed European financial peers held in the iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF ( EUFN ), building on the solid gains achieved in 2025. The strong performance comes as ABN AMRO delivered strong Q1 2026 results and is set to benefit from anticipated interest rate hikes by the ECB. Against this backdrop, I believe that a Hold rating is now appropriate for ABN AMRO, down from my previous Buy rating . My more neutral investment thesis can be briefly summarized as: ABN AMRO has made significant progress on its key cost/income ratio target of <55% by 2028, with further optimization possible thanks to advances in AI. At the same time, the shares trade at a circa 17% trailing P/E premium relative to direct European banking peers, although ABN AMRO is only marginally more expensive if you look at U.S. regional banks. ABN AMRO boasts a strong 15.5% CET1 ratio, providing the bank with flexibility to absorb a potential increase in credit losses, pursue additional acquisitions, or repurchase shares. Q1 2026 Results Overview ABN AMRO delivered EPS of €0.78/share , up 13% Y/Y. The principal driver behind the improved results was higher net interest income (even as the net interest margin slipped 0.05% Y/Y to 1.49%), driven by volume growth in mortgages. Coupled with strong performance in fee and commission income, ABN AMRO's operating income increased 7% Y/Y. At the same time, progress on optimizing expenses (operating expenses slipped 2% Y/Y) resulted in a market improvement in the cost/income ratio to 55.9%, down 5.1% Y/Y. Coupled with a benign risk environment (cost of risk of only 9 basis points of loans) and 1% lower share count due to share buybacks, we see why ABN AMRO had quite a successful quarter. The bank's CET1 capital improved by 0.1% Q/Q to 15.5%, benefiting from initiatives to optimize risk-weighted assets and retained earnings. As such, it remains 4.1% abov...

Bloomberg cited the IRGC official as saying of the Iranian protocol for passage, "A new era in the Strait of Hormuz has started as many countries of the world and fleets have accepted that the best, quickest and simplest way for transiting this very important waterway is only though coordination with the IRGC’s naval forces."
