On October 1, Barclays PLC fell 3.85% in regular trading, trading at $23.34/share, with turnover of approximately $70.44 million. The decline was driven by a sharp selloff in UK banking stocks triggered by surging UK government bond yields.

On the news front, the UK 30-year gilt yield climbed to 6%, its highest level since 1998, intensifying market concerns over the UK inflation outlook and the trajectory of interest rates. UK-listed banks came under broad pressure, with National Westminster Bank down 5.3%, Lloyds Banking down 4.3%, and HSBC Holdings down 4.4%. Barclays, as a major UK domestic lender, is particularly sensitive to movements in gilt yields, contributing to its outsized decline relative to some global peers.

Notably, Barclays' own rates research team had previously warned that if productivity growth persists, US 30-year Treasury yields could also reach 6%, suggesting the global bond market selloff has not been fully priced in. Within the Diversified Banks sector, Bank of America fell 1.81%, Citigroup dropped 2.95%, Wells Fargo declined 1.17%, and JPMorgan Chase slipped 0.34%, while Nu Holdings rose 1.86%.
