UK, Japan ink £18bn investment deal, Rolls-Royce enters nuclear project

The government said the broader UK-Japan ties are already worth £140 billion, counting both FDI stock and trade.

Millions Could Be Due Refunds After HMRC Pension Tax Error as DWP Back Payments Go On

London, June 14, 2026, 16:02. HM Revenue & Customs is under pressure to fix a tax mistake that may have led millions of pensioners to overpay on their state pension income. The problem is with the way HMRC works out taxable state pension following the annual April increase. According to The Sunday Times, the agency may have collected up to £43.5 million too much last year, overstating income tax bills by about £5 each for around 8.7 million pensioners.

InterContinental Hotels Group Shares Hit 2026 High as Buybacks and Hotel Demand Put August Results in Focus

London, June 13, 2026, 22:02 BST. InterContinental Hotels Group PLC shares ended the latest London session sharply higher, closing Friday at $166.45, a 3.77% gain that beat the broader FTSE 100 move of 1.63%. AJ Bell data showed the stock touched a year high of $167.00 during the session, with market capitalisation around $24.70 billion. The comparison matters because IHG’s move was not just part of a broad UK rally; it also reflected investor attention on the company’s ongoing capital return programme.

Investors have also been watching the credibility of Haleon’s 2026 guidance. Its U.S. ADRs finished Friday nearly flat at $9.13, the latest available quote.

M&S shares gain 4% with profit recovery back in focus

Marks & Spencer Group plc jumped 4.15% to 376.30p on Friday, beating the FTSE 100’s 1.63% advance. MKS shares traded at 376.70p to sell and 376.90p to buy, according to AJ Bell. That put the retailer’s market cap around £7.73 billion. M&S beat the broader UK market, not just moving in line with the rally. Reuters said the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 both gained 1.6% on Friday as shares climbed across the board. Hopes for a possible Iran-U.S. agreement and weaker oil prices helped drive the move. Stocks tend to rise when investors see stronger earnings ahead or accept less “risk premium”—a smaller reward for taking on uncertainty. They fall when profit forecasts, cash outlooks or confidence drop.

Tesco Shares Edge Higher Before Q1 Trading Update, Buyback in Focus

Tesco PLC shares closed up 0.87% at 473.00p in London on Friday, rising 4.10p for the week, market data showed. The stock is still trading below its 52-week high at 508.00p, but stays well above the 52-week low at 392.60p. Investors are watching to see if the next trading update will support the rally. FTSE 100 jumped 1.6% to 10,471.7 points on Friday as UK markets rallied, helped by talk of a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal that sent oil prices down and boosted risk appetite. Lower oil helps Tesco, as fuel costs ease and shoppers may keep spending. A rising FTSE often means more money into defensive blue-chip names like Tesco.

Reckitt Benckiser Stock Moves Up After Buyback, Dividend News, July Update

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc shares climbed Friday, closing at 4,638p, up 58p or 1.27%. The FTSE 100 consumer-goods stock still trades far from its 52-week high of 6,522.92p. It’s above its 52-week low of 3,664p, but the recent gain hasn’t fixed the longer-term drop in sentiment. Reckitt’s latest update focused on buybacks, not operations. The company said in a June 12 notice that it bought back 194,500 ordinary shares on June 11 from Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. These shares will go into treasury. Such “own shares” deals can help EPS if profits hold and the share count drops. Following the buyback, Reckitt holds 38,688,655 treasury shares, leaving 635,317,097 shares outstanding, excluding treasury.

ANZ Shares Bounce as Wealth Plan Shines Light on Major Bank Growth

ANZ Group Holdings is drawing attention again as reports look at chief executive Nuno Matos’s latest efforts to revive growth outside core lending, with private wealth and bigger customer accounts getting more focus at the country’s No.4 listed bank. This comes after a volatile week for the banks. ANZ dropped on June 11, but then closed up 1.01% at A$34.17 on June 12, Twelve Data said. ANZ shares are getting tugged by two sides. One is cost cuts, Suncorp Bank synergies and a near-4.9% dividend yield, which Kalkine says draw in investors, especially after the stock’s pullback on June 11. But big-bank prices still face mortgage competition, credit cycle risks, and squeezed net interest margins—the gap between lending rates and

BAE Systems Stock Falls as Defence Rally Cools: What Investors Should Watch Next

BAE Systems plc shares closed lower on Friday even as the wider London market rallied, putting renewed focus on whether one of the FTSE 100’s strongest defence names still offers enough upside after a long re-rating. The company’s investor page showed the stock at 1,911p, while Hargreaves Lansdown quoted a 31.5p, or 1.62%, fall, with the market closed and prices delayed by at least 15 minutes. That stood in sharp contrast with the FTSE 100’s 1.63% gain on the same session. The broader UK market was helped by optimism over a possible Iran-U.S. peace agreement, which pushed crude prices lower and supported a broad-based rally; Reuters reported that the FTSE 100 closed 1.6% higher at 10,471.7 points, its highest close

London, June 13, 2026, 14:03. Glencore plc shares finished up in London after the FTSE 100 gained and copper prices bounced.

Xero Share Price Under Pressure as CEO Pay Talks Put ASX Tech Stock Back in Focus

Xero Limited is back in focus after the Australian Financial Review reported that chairman David Thodey has begun speaking with investors about CEO Sukhinder Singh Cassidy’s pay arrangements following a sharp fall in the company’s share price. The governance issue matters because Xero is still valued as a high-growth software business, but its shares have lost much of their former premium: market data showed XRO at A$73.50 at 16:41 on June 12, down 0.77% for the session and 62.15% below its 52-week high of A$194.21. The stock’s weakness has turned executive incentives into a price-sensitive debate for some investors.
