Legal & General shares tick up as UK inflation steady before BoE

Legal & General Group shares moved up in late quotes on Wednesday, outpacing the broader FTSE 100. Investors were watching after a mild UK inflation reading before the Bank of England rate call. Hargreaves Lansdown priced the shares at 283.30p/283.40p, a gain of 1.60p or 0.57%. The FTSE 100 slipped 0.16%. This shift stands out because Legal & General does more than standard insurance. The business leans on institutional retirement, asset management, insurance and retail retirement. That leaves shares with exposure to rates, annuity appetite and long-term savings. AJ Bell put L&G’s market cap near £15.53 billion and the yield at 7.73%.

Regular ASX trade kicks off just before 10 a.m. Sydney and goes through until 4 p.m., with continuous matching throughout the session. The move was modest. Even so, it comes as investors take another look at defensive stocks — shares of companies viewed as less tied to changes in discretionary spending — with Australian households staring down another round of high borrowing costs.

FTSE 100 climbs, smaller stocks fade as large caps pull index up The FTSE 100 closed 63.59 points, or 0.61%, higher at 10,494.21 on Tuesday, as blue-chip stocks led most of the gains. The FTSE 250 fell 36.04 points, or 0.15%, to 23,326.58, with smaller firms falling behind. Most of the strength stayed with the big international names.

Rathbones drops 17% as FCA review hurts profit and halts client flows

Rathbones Group PLC shares slid Tuesday, quoted at 1,614p to sell and 1,620p on the buy side from Barclays, down 334p or 17.11% at 13:45 in London. The stock’s drop was sharp against muted moves in the wider market—FTSE 250 dipped 0.02%, while FTSE 100 gained. Selling picked up after Rathbones said a Skilled Person Review found “areas for improvement” in its UK Wealth Management business, pointing to compliance systems and Consumer Duty issues. Rathbones shares fell after the firm flagged two issues investors track—client inflows and clarity on earnings. The company will stop taking new clients who need Enhanced Due Diligence, a process for higher-risk accounts, for as long as a year. Those clients brought in about £370 million

Trading Economics put shares at 4,367p, up 0.24% for the session. The FTSE 100 rose 0.6%; Reuters said weaker oil prices helped risk appetite and the index got a push from financials and industrials. Unilever shares inched higher Tuesday, unusual for a consumer-staples stock and names like Dove, Persil, Hellmann’s, and Knorr, which investors tend to view as defensive with steady cash flow and dividends. There was no clear trigger from Unilever itself. The move seemed driven by changing sentiment in the market. Falling oil
