Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was dominated by Lloyds and Halifax branch closures, which lean mildly negative. This was partly offset by a positive story on AI-driven fraud detection and neutral previews ahead of upcoming results.
