0958 GMT - London-listed shares in Standard Chartered hit their highest price since August 2015. The Asia-focused bank's third-quarter results beat expectations and it promised $8 billion in shareholder returns for 2024-26. The guidance lift is the real catch, JP Morgan analysts say. The lender raised expectations for operating income growth to up to 10% from above 7%. It previously raised guidance in July. No changes in its net interest income outlook reflect confidence in its other income view. Shares are up 3.4% at 906 pence and have gained 36% year to date. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
