Barclays led U.K. banking stocks lower on Tuesday, after the London-listed lender posted a sharp fall in third-quarter profits and warned that a strategic review would lead to large cost cuts.<\/p>\n

A weak performance by the investment banking division, relative to Wall Street peers, and narrowing profit margins at the U.K. consumer-focused operations saw group net profit decline 16% to \u00a31.3 billion ($1.6 billion).<\/p>\n

\n

C. S. Venkatakrishnan, Barclays chief executive, said he would deliver an update alongside full year results in February that would set out capital allocation priorities and revised financial targets. \u201cWe see further opportunities to enhance returns for shareholders through cost efficiencies and disciplined capital allocation across the Group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Barclays
\n BARC,
\n -6.53%<\/bg-quote>
\n shares lost more than 5% as investors were particularly concerned by news that net interest margins \u2014 the difference between the rate paid to customers for their deposits and the interest received on loans \u2014 were forecast to be in a range of 3.05% to 3.10% this year, down from the previous 3.15% to 3.2%.<\/p>\n

\u201cNet interest margin is the metric the banks are judged on so it is not a surprise to see Barclays heavily punished for downgrading guidance here even if profit for the third quarter was ahead of guidance,\u201d said Danni Hewson, AJ Bell head of financial analysis.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the evidence of competitive pressures on NIM impacted other U.K. banks, with shares of NatWest
\n NWG,
\n -3.48%<\/bg-quote>
\n down more than 2% and Lloyds Banking
\n LLOY,
\n -2.03%<\/bg-quote>
\n off 1.6%. <\/p>\n

The struggling U.K. financial sector left London\u2019s FTSE 100
\n UK:UKX
\n underperforming on Tuesday with a 0.1% loss, while Frankfurt\u2019s DAX
\n DX:DAX
\n gained 0.2% and the CAC 40
\n FR:PX1
\n in Paris added 0.5%, the latter benefiting from gains in luxury groups after Hermes
\n RMS,
\n +2.78%<\/bg-quote>
\n reported better-than-expected results.<\/p>\n

A spectacularly poor performer was CAB Payments
\n CABP,
\n -71.92%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n whose shares plunged 73% after the fintech group specializing in foreign exchange and payment services to emerging markets cut its revenue forecasts for the year by 17% and warned on profits. The shares have lost more than 80% since undertaking an IPO in London as recently as July.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the government bond sector, 10-year German yields fell 4.6 basis points to 2.830% after a gauge of activity in the eurozone manufacturing and services sectors fell to its lowest level in just under three years.<\/p>\n

The euro, which had earlier been higher on the day, later traded down 0.3% to $1.0634 as analysts reasoned that the recent economic data out of the eurozone made it very unlikely the European Central Bank will raise interest rates after its policy meeting on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ECB is widely predicted to keep its main policy rates unchanged on Thursday, the first time this will have happened since June last year. Money markets are pricing in no chance of a move with the next fresh staff economic forecasts coming in mid-December after last month\u2019s updated projections,\u201d said Jamie Dutta, market analyst at Vantage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
