The Financial Conduct Authority has fined Barclays Bank Plc (Barclays) £783,800 for oversight failings in its relationship with collapsed payments firm Premier FX. Barclays was Premier FX’s sole banker in the UK. The financial penalty takes into account that Barclays has agreed voluntarily to cover the losses of Premier FX customers whose claims have been accepted by Premier FX’s liquidators. Following the distribution by the liquidator amounting to 9p for every £1 lost, Barclays'' voluntary payment of £10,076,943.75 will make up the difference, meaning all 167 customers of Premier FX with accepted claims will have 100% of their money returned. The voluntary payment will be distributed to these customers by the liquidators by the end of March 2022. Barclays failed to make enquiries to ensure that Premier FX’s actual business activity aligned with Barclays’ expectations and did not identify that Premier FX’s internal controls were deficient. This constituted a failure by Barclays to conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence.

Banks and insurers rose 1.2% and 1.9%, respectively, leading the benchmark FTSE 100 1.1% higher in morning trade. It had slumped nearly 4% on Thursday.

After a sharp morning drop, the FTSE and Eurostoxx both closed down more than 3% on Thursday. This followed Asian markets ending the day in the red across the board. Below are some market reactions from industry commentators about what they think could happen next and the implications for asset classes. Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor: “The escalation of tensions arising from the Russian action has pulled the rug from markets, adding to an already brittle environment in the face of rising inflation and interest rate concerns. “The negative baton is being passed from market to market globally, with another weak opening in the US now leaving the Dow Jones down by 11% in the year to date, the S&P500 by 13.4% and the Nasdaq by 19%. The turmoil has also sent the FTSE100 into negative territory for the first time this year, with a further leg down following Wall Street’s open, leaving the UK’s premier index down by 1.7% in 2022. “The oil price, which has now risen by 35% in the year to date, has prompted inevitable interest in the majors, although BP’s exposure to Russia via Rosneft has been of some concern.
