Buyback Completed, BoE Rate-Cut Week Ahead, and the Latest Headlines (Updated 14 Dec 2025)
Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 (markets closed; latest close was Friday, 12 December).
Lloyds Banking Group plc shares (LSE: LLOY) ended the week at 93.72p on Friday, down 1.37% on the day and sitting about 4% below the recent 52‑week high of 97.74p. [1]
That puts the stock in an interesting spot going into a data-heavy UK week: the market is braced for key inflation and labour prints — and a Bank of England decision that economists widely expect will deliver another 25bp rate cut on 18 December. [2]
Below is what moved Lloyds this week, what to watch next week, and how analysts are framing the risk/reward — especially around the still-lurking motor finance redress story.
