Wow, what is it in a week (and a month) for stocks. After reaching record amounts in February, stock market markets fell in fear of a fresh trade war. Even after Thursday (April 10) a great reflection, FTSE 100 The index dropped by 6.3% a week and 7.6% per month. Meanwhile, the USA S&P 500 fell by 0.4% and 6.2% respectively in these periods.

My family portfolio is heavily burdened with USA and actions in Great Britain, so there were a few demanding knocks. Indeed, some of our resources have fallen so far and quickly, I was surprised by the latter market movements.

My biggest ftse fallers

Earlier today I produced a list of the 20 largest FTSE 100 Fallers over the past month. Unfortunately, I found four from Blue-Chip from my family on this list of laggards and losers. Here they are (sorted from the largest drop in prices in the last month):

Two of these worst hits come from the same sector: mining. As Trump’s commercial tariffs will cause that the global economic slowdown, miners, oil and gas and banking supplies beat. Indeed, a wider list of loser Foota in one month is dominated by companies in the financial and freight sectors.

Of course, the reason for the rapid decreases in stock prices is the threat of President Trump by robust trading tariffs for imports to the USA. Unfortunately, the United States had previously tried this kind of commercial/tariff wars-in particular in 1828 (“tariffs”) and 1930 (Smoot-Hawley tariffs). Both contributed to the long, deep recession of the US, including the great crisis, which began with an accident at Wall Street in October 1929.

And when the American economy sneezes, other countries usually catch, which fuels the fears of potential global recession in 2024/25. Hence the collapse of stocks around the world, less than two months, since the stock markets have reached record peaks.

I like the appearance of Barclays

As mentioned, my wife and I have all four streams above. I am careful in buying stocks related to the goods in your current confusion, so three of these declines are not for me now.

However, I do not see a vast British bank Barclays (LSE: BARC) suffering brutally because of American trading tariffs. As I write (April 11), the price of Barclays shares is 258.4 pence, valuing Blue Eagle Bank at 37.1 billion pounds. At the annual level of action, she reached 316 pence, so it will fall from this peak.

After this last failure, this FTSE action trades a multiple of only 7.4 -earnings, generating a profit of 13.5% per year. Thus, the bank’s dividend capacity of 3.3% per year is covered with juicy 4.1 times by earnings. For me it offers a huge safety margin, ensuring that future cash withdrawals will be similar or even higher.

On the other hand, nothing is certain on financial markets, including in future dividends. In addition, if this market is continued on the stock market, revenues from Barclays investment banks may fall. And the recession in Great Britain can raise credit losses and bad debts. Still, I’m not going to sell this FTSE 100 campaign at current price levels!
