Barclays is to return at least £10 billion to shareholders over the next three years as part of plans unveiled by boss C.S. Venkatakrishnan today.
The dividend and buyback pledge came as the banking giant revealed that its profits fell 6% to £6.6 billion last year.
Hotels group IHG has also reported results today, while the focus for US investors will be on the earnings of retailers The Home Depot and Walmart.
