Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) stock rises from consolidation as Monday trading wraps up which marks one of the most positive days ‘C’ has had this year since perhaps April 6th. Even more notable is that today’s market close brings about a third consecutive daily gain for Citi — the first of this year, in fact. Shares of Citi would close up 3.88% today and completed the regular session at $39.18, a figure closely held to during after-market trading.
Shares of Citi began consolidating during trading of last Thursday before starting to edge north above consolidation during Friday which has been completed with today’s high close. Citi today also got a buy rating from analysts at UBS which usually does not hurt long-positioned shareholders. UBS has a $56 dollar price target fixed for Citi and figures the company will rebound on the market. Additionally, something else that may had helped loft shares Citi today is that they are poised to cut its interest in India’s Housing Development Finance to below 10%.
