Sabadell, a Spanish lender, is considering the sale of its UK-based bank TSB. This potential move aims to fortify its position against a hostile 11 billion euro takeover attempt by BBVA, a competing Spanish bank.

At the Paris Air Show, Airbus announced securing orders nearing $10 billion, a stark contrast to Boeing's reduced presence following the recent Air India tragedy. Meanwhile, a London tribunal found Metro Bank's former senior executives responsible for a significant 900 million euros accounting discrepancy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to expedite the implementation of the US-UK trade deal. While this promises immediate gains for British carmakers and aerospace sectors, the UK steel industry might experience delays in benefitting from the agreement.
