Lately I have noticed Barclays is exiting, cutting, or retreating from its global business units on all fronts:

New York and London: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-20/...
What's happening? Cuts are the new normal in finance these days, but these events in the past few days make it seem like Barclays is really struggling.
