Warning Bank Stocks in Serious Trouble
Barclays shares in the UK have fallen 9% after it announced further restructuring, a dividend cut, and an 8% decline in statutory pre-tax profit. As part of the restructure, Barclays is looking to sell off its 62.3% holding in its African business. They followed the trend of commodities and now they are following that same trend by exiting.
