  Going around in circles, neither @NatWest_Help nor @pandocruises are helping! Natwest have said P&O can't take the money and it bounces back and P&O say they don't have an issue with the payments system. 🙈 Do you want the money or not???

  @org_scp @HHelenakhl @NatWest_Help In conversation with someone in NatWest HO early 2021 after the loss of my mother, re misinformation about a local branch & services I was told that all branches would close & everyone at HO was aware hence service reductions. Someone on twitter called me a liar.

  Friday 31 July — what’s moving The week ends with the cleanest illustration of the new rule anyone could ask for. Apple beat on almost everything. Revenue $109.4bn, +16%. iPhone $54.25bn, +22% — its best ever June quarter. EPS $2.02 against $1.89 expected. The stock fell after hours, on guidance. Amazon raised full-year capex to $220bn — a number that would have been punished a fortnight ago — and jumped ~8%, because AWS grew 36.7%, its fastest in over four years. Microsoft up, Meta down, Amazon up, Apple down. The market is neither rewarding AI spending nor punishing it. It’s grading proof. Note the casualty: for two weeks Apple was the hedge, capex at 1.8% of revenue making it the place to hide from spending anxiety. On the night the spenders got paid, abstaining stopped earning a premium. Asia took the same message and amplified it violently. The KOSPI rose as much as 17% — its best day on record. Samsung and SK Hynix up near 30%. Taiwan +7%, Nikkei +5%. Now the number that matters: the KOSPI is still down ~25% for July, its worst month since 1997. A 17% day inside that is not recovery. It’s a market with the leverage stripped out of it — Korean authorities spent the week reining in leveraged products that had wiped out retail savings. And the FX story is the week’s thesis in miniature. Japan and Korea intervened jointly on Thursday — unprecedented, with the yen near a 40-year low. Then the BoJ held rates on Friday and the yen went straight back to 160.69. Coordinated intervention by two states bought roughly one session. Nothing about the rate differential changed, so nothing about the yen did. Which rhymes with the central banks. The Fed’s statement was near-identical to June’s — one verb and three dissenters — and Warsh signalled a step back from forward guidance. The BoE held 3.75% on a 6-3 vote, three hawks where two were expected, then Bailey immediately told reporters not to read it as edging towards a hike. September hike odds fell to 40% from above 50%. The bond market’s answer: long-end US yields near 19-year highs while the short end eased. A steepener built on doubt that anyone can anchor inflation. In London: the FTSE 100 touched a record 10,979.60 intra-day then closed down 0.1%. Rolls-Royce led, +6%, on H1 operating profit up 17% to £2.42bn. Today: NatWest, Taylor Wimpey, ITV, plus Exxon and Chevron. FTSE futures +0.4%. This was the week guidance died. Warsh won’t give it. Bailey disowned his own committee’s. Two governments spent reserves defending currencies and got a day. And Apple’s forecast cost it more than a record quarter earned. Everyone is being marked on evidence now.

  @flying_rodent She didn't say bankers, she said someone working in a bank; city boys at the BofE might take 3 hour lunch break in the pub but your local Natwest cashier won't

  UK stocks to watch — Fri 31 July Month-end, and a strong handover: FTSE futures +0.4% after Asia’s violent rebound — KOSPI up as much as 17%, Samsung and SK Hynix near +30%. NatWest — H1 results, the third big domestic bank in four days, and the pattern hasn’t been kind: Barclays was the FTSE’s biggest faller on its own results day Tuesday. NatWest arrives off a Q1 that delivered 18.2% return on tangible equity and £1.4bn attributable profit. What moves the stock won’t be the profit line — it’ll be margin guidance into a BoE that just showed three hawks. Taylor Wimpey — the most interesting setup on the board. Sell-side positioning is unusually hostile: Goldman cut it to a sell in May, and the broker split now runs 1 buy, 2 hold, 3 sell. It reports into a rate market that spent yesterday removing hike risk — September odds fell to 40% from above 50%. Low expectations plus a friendlier discount rate is how surprises happen. Watch the order book and margin guidance, not completions. ITV — H1 results. UK advertising is the cleanest read on domestic corporate confidence there is. Tech trusts — Scottish Mortgage, Polar Capital Tech. Microsoft and Amazon proving AI demand produced a 17% KOSPI day. The UK vehicles are the second-order beneficiary, and they’ve been sold hard for a fortnight. $EZJ — last session before Castlelake’s firm-offer deadline on Monday. Apollo’s follows on Friday. Whatever happens now happens fast. Oil majors — Exxon and Chevron report today, after Shell’s $9.8bn came largely from trading and refining rather than production. If the US majors show the same composition, that’s a sector-wide signal: the money in this crisis is in moving barrels, not owning them. The month that was: the FTSE 100 touched a record high this week. The KOSPI is down ~25% in July, its worst month since 1997. Same AI story, opposite ends — because London owns almost none of it. The index everyone calls old-fashioned just won a month by not owning the thing everyone wanted. Worth remembering next time that’s framed as a weakness.

  Elon Musk, shall I tell you what else those NatWest employees—who scammed me out of 300 pounds—did? They kept blocking my contactless payments; and they send me a message asking me to reply "yes" if I try to make the payment or "no" if I didn't. I reply "yes," confirming I try to make the payment, and they send a follow-up message saying I could use my card—yet my card remained blocked. I called NatWest customer service and explained the situation to the representative: I replied "yes" to the message and was told I could use my card again, but I still couldn't use it because it was blocked. The representative was surprised, said they didn't know why this had happened, and reactivated my card. Elon Musk, they kept blocking my contactless payments—and let me put this in a way you'd understand: they didn't do it for security reasons. In fact, I hadn't made a single payment with that card yet; I tried to make a contactless payment somewhere but couldn't because they had blocked it. The shop assistant even told me, "They probably blocked it because you made too many contactless payments today"—even though I hadn't used the card anywhere before that.

  @afneil And also, she said “people working in a bank.” Not “bankers.” Somebody working at Natwest, opening accounts and helping pensioners with their PIN number enquiries should not be necking a couple of wines on their lunch break.

  @MartinSLewis @DrFionaCares I am leaving NatWest after 40 yrs because my nearest branch is now over 7 miles away, there are no cash points & they can’t explain why my second set of 2 debit cards refuse to work in card machines. And don’t get me started on bloody Cora… Customer service is dead.

  @WestStandWindy @MightyMillers20 He doesn’t need to do an awful lot though. Can probably transfer the operating budget into club accounts from the NatWest app on his phone from his yacht. Steve will know how to buy a player and run the football side. Head coach arriving tomorrow. He’ll have a managing director (Paul Douglas?) handling the non-football side. Facetiously, you’d say of all the things Tony Stewart has got wrong in recent years, having a holiday in May is probably the one thing he’s got right!
