Anglo American share price rise triggers £448m swing on merger-era share count

Anglo American plc traded higher Friday, but merger watchers were looking at a regulatory filing from two days back: 1,178,050,272 ordinary shares outstanding, none held in treasury, and 98,906,534 in buyback entities with voting rights waived. Hargreaves Lansdown’s delayed price quote had Anglo at 3,778p to sell and 3,780p to buy, up 38p, or 1.02%, from its last close at 3,741p. The FTSE 100 was showing down 0.13% on the page, with Anglo ahead of the index in this latest read.

Fresnillo gains as silver edges higher and outlook for 2026 output heads lower

Fresnillo plc traded higher again Thursday, building on the prior day’s jump as silver rallied after U.S. jobs data pushed traders away from a fresh Fed rate hike. Shares were up 78p at 2,872p at 15:06 BST, after closing up 1.93% at £27.94 Wednesday. The FTSE 100 index was down 0.18%. Fresnillo’s stock outperformed the wider London market but still lagged silver itself. That matters for investors. Fresnillo claims to be the top silver producer globally and a major Mexican gold miner, so shares often act like a leveraged bet on silver when production risks aren't rising.

FTSE 250 lags FTSE 100 as housebuilders pressured by mortgage drop

London had finished trading at the usual 0800-1630 BST hours when the numbers came in. The main story wasn’t the FTSE 100’s minor fall. Domestic names took the bigger hit, with mid-caps dropping harder than the FTSE’s biggest stocks. Hargreaves Lansdown’s market board was running late, with the FTSE 100 off 23.80 points at 10,484.22.

FTSE 100 Drops 1% on Weakness in Miners and LSEG

FTSE 100 drops below 10,400 as miners, tech slide after Bank of England holds rates Britain’s blue-chip FTSE 100 index tumbled Thursday, giving up all of Wednesday’s 0.14% rise after weaker mining and tech shares pulled the market lower, even as the Bank of England held borrowing costs. The FTSE 100 fell back under 10,400. Fed's timing grabbed attention. On Wednesday, the central bank held its target rate between 3.5% and 3.75%. Still, nine policymakers signaled rates could climb before year-end. That hawkish tilt pushed down demand for shares that react most to rates and for growth stocks.

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

FTSE 100 Climbs as UK Shares Get Lift from Iran-U.S. Deal Bets, Oil Slides

UK stocks rallied on Friday, with investors piling back into risk as hopes picked up for a possible peace deal between Iran and the U.S., which helped take some pressure off oil prices and stocks hit by inflation worries. The FTSE 100 jumped 1.6% to end the session at 10,471.7 points. The FTSE 250 also advanced 1.6%, posting its strongest one-day percentage gain in over five weeks, Reuters reported. Cheaper oil helped UK stocks today, easing cost concerns for transport, consumer and industrial names. Calmer geopolitics also boosted demand for equities. Travel and leisure rose 3.9%, led by airlines sensitive to oil moves. Banks gained 4.2%. Aerospace and defence were up 2.2%. Most FTSE 350 sectors ended higher, except for

Fresnillo Shares Gain After Silver Rebound, Even as Gold Drops for the Week

Fresnillo PLC was up Friday as buyers returned to the London-listed miner. The move tracked gains for UK markets and more swings in gold and silver. Hargreaves Lansdown’s late quote put Fresnillo at 2,960p to sell and 2,964p to buy, a rise of 94p, or 3.27%. The FTSE 100 was ahead 1.06%. Fresnillo opened at 3,014p. It last closed at 2,872p. Market cap was about £21.86 billion, according to Hargreaves. Fresnillo’s shares often track precious-metal prices, so the stock’s June 12 range of 2,930p to 3,031.9p matched up with a 4.33% jump in silver futures and 2.46% gain for gold futures, based on Investing.com data.

Fresnillo Stock Jumps—Why the Metals Rally Has Investors Watching 2026 Guidance

Fresnillo PLC jumped almost 3% by late Wednesday, regaining ground among London’s top mining stocks as buyers moved into the sector during a choppy bullion session. The precious-metals miner traded at 3,748p—up 108p, or 2.97%—with prints hovering between 3,746p and 3,751p just ahead of 15:47 in London. This shift stands out—no new operating statement accompanied it. Fresnillo’s regulatory news page showed its most recent updates were an April 28 final-dividend conversion notice and the April 22 first-quarter production report. So on Wednesday, the stock moved more on metals prices, interest rates, and positioning than on any fresh news from the mines.

Investors shrugged off softer first-quarter silver output from the FTSE 100 miner, focusing instead on firmer precious-metals prices. The stock finished the day at 3,255p, gaining 0.62%.

Fresnillo PLC Holds 2026 Guidance After Q1 Silver Drop, But Shares Stay Under Pressure

Fresnillo PLC is sticking with its 2026 production guidance, even after a dip in first-quarter silver output. The company’s attributable silver production landed at 11.1 million ounces for the quarter, down on the back of weaker ore grades and slimmer volumes at Saucito, Fresnillo, and Juanicipio. Still, the London-listed miner, whose main assets sit in Mexico, is leaning on mine plans and a lift in precious-metals prices to keep the year on track. Investors are zeroed in on whether Fresnillo can actually convert these lofty gold and silver prices into real cash flow—without stumbling through another year of missed targets. The stock changed hands at 3,408 pence on Cboe Europe as of 11:08 a.m. EDT, ticking 0.5% lower for the
