FCA Car Finance Ruling, Trump to Name New Fed Governor & Jobs Data Head
Shares of UK lenders including Lloyds, Close Brothers and Barclays jumped on Monday after the industry won a major reprieve in a pivotal UK car finance case before the country's top court. President Donald Trump said he will announce a new Federal Reserve governor and a new jobs data statistician in the coming days, two appointments that may shape his economic agenda amid anxiety over the trajectory of global growth. For the Fed, Trump said he has a 'couple of people in mind' for the role that opened up after Adriana Kugler announced Friday that she would vacate her board of governors seat, which wasn't due to expire until January. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe.

Shares in UK banks jump after car loan court ruling
Shares in British banks rose on Monday after the country's top court spared the sector from the worst of feared compensation claims over controversial car loans. The Supreme Court, in a ruling on Friday after markets closed, largely overturned earlier judgements that had found it unlawful for car dealers to earn a commission on loans stretching back to 2007 in which borrowers had not been properly informed about the payments. While the court upheld one of the three cases, it narrowed the overall grounds for claims, offering relief to banks that had been bracing for widespread payouts from millions of car buyers. Shares in Lloyds Banking Group jumped seven percent and Barclays rose two percent in early trading on London's benchmark FTSE 100 index. Close Brothers saw its stock surge more than 20 percent on the FTSE 250 after the court ruled in its favour in one of the cases reviewed. The Supreme Court overturned rulings on two of the three cases but upheld one, based on specific circumstances -- including the high level of commission charged and the complexity of the contract involved. Lloyds said on Monday the decision was unlikely to have an impact on the bank as it had already set aside nearly £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) in preparation for the ruling. Britain's financial watchdog said on Sunday it would consult on a redress scheme for affected consumers and warned banks could still face more than £9 billion ($12 billion) in compensation payments. That figure, however, is far lower than the £44-billion bill expected by some analysts before the ruling. The Financial Conduct Authority estimated most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. In some cases, the loans -- available from 2007 to 2021 -- allowed car dealers to offer higher interest rates in return for a bigger commission from banks. The ruling means that dealers have some leeway when arranging loans, without requiring explicit consent from borrowers for terms that may benefit lenders. ajb/jkb/lth

Shares in lenders soar after motor finance court ruling
Lloyds Banking Group and Close Brothers have seen shares soar higher after a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on motor finance commission payments softened the blow for the sector. The decision – which was handed down after the market close on Friday – saw FTSE 100 listed Lloyds shares jump nearly 8%, while Close Brothers stock soared by as much as 34% at one stage in the FTSE 250. Barclays and NatWest shares lifted 2% as the wider sector also received a shares boost. Lloyds and Close Brothers are seen as the most exposed to the motor finance saga and have put by hefty provisions for possible compensation bills relating to the affair. The UK's highest court ruled that lenders are not liable for hidden commission payments in car finance schemes, finding that car dealers did not have a relationship with their customers that would require them to act only in the customers' interest. The decision has been seen as a 'win' for lenders by significantly limiting the potential payouts in compensation, according to experts. But the judgment left open the door for potential redress claims for very large commissions, which the Supreme Court said were unfair and therefore potentially unlawful. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said on Sunday that it would consult on an industry-wide compensation scheme, meaning millions of drivers could be owed a share of up to £18 billion – though most payouts are expected to be less than £950 each. Close Brothers – which together with South Africa's FirstRand Bank had mounted the legal challenge against a Court of Appeal ruling that 'secret' commission payments on motor finance were unlawful – said over the weekend that it welcomed the Supreme Court judgment. It had put by £165 million to cover potential redress, which sent it slumping to a £103.8 million half-year loss, and warned in March over a further £22 million hit to annual figures from legal and other costs linked to the motor finance case. Close Brothers said there 'remains uncertainty as to the range of outcomes, and the financial impact to the group, including any impact on its provisioning assessment' until the outcome of the FCA's consultation is clear. On Monday, it added: 'We look forward to engaging with the FCA in respect of the consultation.' Lloyds said it believes any change to the group's cash set aside for motor finance compensation was 'unlikely to be material', following Friday's court ruling. It has aside £1.2 billion to cover potential costs and compensation related to commission arrangements. The group is exposed to the motor finance market through its Black Horse business. But Lloyds said there continues to be a 'number of uncertainties' and will continue to review its provision. Lloyds said: 'After initial assessment of the Supreme Court judgment – and pending resolution of the outstanding uncertainties, in particular the FCA redress scheme – the group currently believes that if there is any change to the provision it is unlikely to be material in the context of the group.' Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the court ruling was 'a win for UK lenders, bringing some much-needed legal certainty'. 'But it's not a home run as the FCA announced plans to explore a compensation scheme that could cost the industry £9 billion to £18 billion.' He added that Lloyds investors should be 'relatively pleased with this outcome'. 'It's broadly aligned with existing expectations, helping to alleviate fears that the final bill could be significantly higher.' The FCA said on Sunday that the consultation will be launched by early October. If the compensation scheme goes ahead, the first payments should be made in 2026. It urged consumers who are concerned they were not told about commission and think they may have paid too much to their motor finance lender to complain now. They do not need to use a claims management company or law firm and doing so could cost them around 30% of any compensation paid, according to the FCA.
