Those first coupons have to be used by midnight on Wednesday, June 17. The next set is expected on June 18.

UBS Eyes FTSE 100 at 12,300; London Stocks Watch Oil, Rates, Sterling

London, June 14, 2026, 15:18. FTSE 100 in focus as UBS boosts target, sees room for more gains UBS raised its forecast for the FTSE 100, saying London’s main index could keep rising through 2027 thanks to better earnings, cheaper shares and its mix of commodity companies. The Swiss bank’s base case now sees the FTSE at 11,000 by year-end and hitting 11,300 by June 2027. In a bullish scenario, UBS puts the index at 12,300—setting a new high for UK stocks.

Brambles Share Price Rebounds as Buyback Continues: Is ASX:BXB Still Risky?

Brambles Limited heads into the new week with its share price recovering, but not yet repaired. The ASX-listed logistics group finished June 12 at A$19.01, up A$0.70, or 3.82%, and Intelligent Investor’s price history showed about 9.65 million shares changed hands that day. The stock was also 11.89% above its close from seven days earlier, a sharp bounce after a difficult month for investors. The latest company filing was a June 12 daily buyback notification. Brambles said it bought 44,130 ordinary shares on June 11, after 3.73 million shares had been bought before that day, leaving 130.89 million shares still available under the maximum proposed buyback size. An on-market buyback means the company purchases its own shares through the stock

Fresnillo trades higher on silver gains despite gold rate concerns

Fresnillo PLC jumped 4.53% to close at £30.02 on Friday, outpacing the FTSE 100, which added 1.63% to finish at 10,471.72. Fresnillo is a leading London name for investors betting on silver and gold moves, so a bump in metals expectations can swing the stock. Even with Friday’s jump, the shares are still off 32.87% from the 52-week high of £44.72 set January 26. That gap points to ongoing volatility in the wake of this year’s sharp run higher in precious metals. UK stocks rallied Friday, Reuters said, as hopes for an Iran-U.S. peace deal sent oil prices down and boosted risk appetite. That created a mixed but mostly positive backdrop for shares. For Fresnillo, silver offered the better signal—spot

Babcock Rises as FY26 Numbers Bring Type 31 Risk Back Up

London, June 13, 2026, 23:04. Babcock International Group PLC finished the week stronger, with shares up as UK stocks advanced and investors waited for the company’s full-year numbers. Late Hargreaves Lansdown data had the FTSE 100 name up 6.0p, or 0.58%, quoting at 1,033.0p to sell and 1,033.5p to buy after the close. The FTSE 100 itself jumped 1.63% to 10,471.72. Reuters said UK blue chips moved higher Friday on the back of lower oil prices and optimism over a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal.

The stock outpaced the broader London market, with the FTSE 100 gaining 1.63% to close at 10,471.72, according to MarketWatch.

SSE Share Price: Annual Report Puts £33bn Grid Growth Plan and July Update in Focus

SSE plc shares ended the week with investors weighing a fresh annual report against the utility’s large capital-spending programme. Barclays’ research centre showed SSE’s bid-offer at 2,398p/2,400p and a 4p, or 0.17%, gain at 15:45 on Friday, while the same page showed the FTSE 100 up 1.63%, suggesting SSE lagged a broader rally in UK blue chips. The immediate news was administrative rather than a new profit warning or upgrade: SSE said on June 12 that it had published its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended March 31, 2026, its Notice of Annual General Meeting and its Sustainability Report. That still matters for the share price because the report puts investors back on the key question for SSE:

London, June 13, 2026, 18:03 BST. Halma plc shares stayed under pressure this week, with the stock finishing Friday at 3,898p, off 30p or 0.76%. Around 2.67 million shares changed hands, LSEG data in Investors Chronicle showed. Investors shrugged off record annual results, choosing instead to watch for signs of slowing growth in the next year. Thursday saw a steeper hit—the FTSE 100 life-safety tech company dropped 15.38% to £39.28 on trading that spiked well past its 50-day average, MarketWatch reported.

Santos Holds Ground Near 52-Week High as Oil Moves Shake ASX Energy

Santos Limited finished flat at A$8.07 on Friday. Shares traded from A$7.90 to A$8.07 during the day. Oil-linked Australian energy stocks struggled as crude prices turned sharply lower, but Santos held steady, ending about 2% off its 52-week high of A$8.24. The S&P/ASX 200 gained 1.98% to 8,804, but energy names dragged while Brent crude dropped under US$89 a barrel. Santos shares tend to move with oil, LNG and free cash flow, so the drop in Brent crude matters. Brent lost $3.05 to settle at US$87.33 as traders bet a possible U.S.-Iran deal could ease tension at the Strait of Hormuz. "What’s got the market going down is the Iranians saying there is a memorandum of understanding," John Kilduff of

Lynas Rare Earths Stock Rises as China Supply Stress Puts ASX:LYC Back in Focus

Lynas Rare Earths Limited shares rebounded on Friday as investors returned to one of the ASX’s most closely watched critical-minerals names. The stock finished at A$17.77, up A$0.88 or 5.21% from the previous session, after trading between A$17.32 and A$17.93 during the day. The move matters because Lynas is highly sensitive to shifts in rare-earth pricing, China export policy and investor appetite for non-Chinese supply chains. The fresh sector backdrop remains supportive. Reuters reported this week that U.S. access to critical minerals from China is still being hampered by export controls and licensing delays, with 76% of affected companies in a U.S.-China Business Council survey either shifting to, or searching for, non-Chinese suppliers. USCBC President Sean Stein told Reuters, “China

PLS Group Stock Moves on Lithium Rally, Pilgangoora Draws Attention Again

PLS Group Limited jumped on Friday, gaining 9.8% to settle at A$6.52 as lithium shares rallied hard with Australian materials. Shares traded in a band from A$6.12 to A$6.52, ending just under the 52-week high. Market Index put turnover at around A$155.7 million. Lithium miners have seen wild swings recently. Materials stocks led gains as sector momentum outweighed any new earnings updates. The ASX 200 climbed 170.8 points, or 1.98%, to finish at 8,804.0, according to Market Index. Materials rose 4.06%. Lithium names kept up a run driven by commodity prices, as GFEX lithium carbonate futures rose 3.0% to CNY 176,560 per tonne. Lithium carbonate, a key battery material, is often watched for sentiment around the lithium space.

Imperial Brands Stock Rises as Buyback Support Offsets Market-Share Concerns

Imperial Brands PLC shares moved higher on Friday, extending a recent rebound as investors weighed the company’s ongoing buyback against lingering concerns about market share and cigarette-volume pressure. A Cboe Europe real-time estimate carried by MarketScreener showed the FTSE 100 tobacco stock at 2,812.50p, up 0.91%, while Hargreaves Lansdown showed a delayed 2,804p sell price and 2,806p buy price, up 17p, or 0.61%. In London, shares are quoted in pence, so 2,812.50p is about £28.13. The immediate support for the stock is straightforward: Imperial is still buying back shares. A buyback is when a company repurchases its own stock, often reducing the number of shares in issue and potentially lifting earnings per share because profit is spread across fewer shares.

IHG Shares Up as InterContinental Hotels Buyback Lifts Stock Before August Earnings

Shares of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC pushed higher on Friday, last up 3.02% at $165.25 in London at 13:53 BST. The move outpaced a 1.1% gain in the FTSE 100, according to Reuters. The stock picked up as investors took in a new buyback disclosure and recent trading strength. IHG’s ordinary shares have traded in dollars on the London Stock Exchange since Jan. 2, after the company said the change better matches its dollar-based reporting. IHG disclosed in a new filing it bought 20,000 shares on June 11 via Goldman Sachs International on the London Stock Exchange, paying prices from $161.30 to $163.95 a share.

Weir Group Shares Recover After China Copper Deal Raises Questions on Future Orders

Weir Group PLC shares rose on Friday after the mining-technology firm announced a new contract, putting copper demand back in focus. The stock is still trading below its February highs. According to Fidelity, Weir was quoted at 2,314p to sell and 2,316p to buy, up 1.58%. The FTSE All-Share also gained. Weir is trying to show investors the recent dip in some original-equipment orders was just about timing, not softer mining demand. Original equipment, or OE, means new machinery and systems for customers; aftermarket, or AM, is for parts and services after the sale. In its first-quarter update, Weir reported 4% group order growth at constant currency. Minerals OE orders dropped 3% because of phasing issues, but ESCO OE orders

Unilever Stock Rises as Investors Weigh Q2 Catalyst, Buyback Support and Growth Risks

Unilever PLC shares edged higher on Friday, with the London-listed stock trading around 4,391p, up 0.9%, after opening at 4,348p and touching an intraday high of 4,409p. The move came as the FTSE 100 was also stronger, leaving the stock’s short-term performance tied partly to a broader rebound in large-cap UK equities rather than a single fresh corporate announcement. Hargreaves Lansdown data showed Unilever at a market value of about £95 billion, with a dividend yield close to 4%, while Google Finance showed the stock still well below its 52-week high of 5,542.11p. The latest price action matters because Unilever has been trying to rebuild investor confidence after a period of portfolio reshaping, cost savings and uneven demand in developed
