The latest update is out from Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ).

The bank has now deployed just over US$1.0bn under the buy-back and plans to cancel the newly repurchased shares, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to about 2.27 billion and thereby slightly increasing earnings per share and potentially supporting its share price, while signalling ongoing capital strength and commitment to shareholder returns.
