NatWest shares just got a fresh jolt from buybacks and branch cuts

NatWest Group shares edged higher in London on Monday, quoted around 598 pence in delayed data, as investors weighed fresh buyback disclosures against the lender’s pledge to slow branch closures. Hargreaves Lansdown data showed the stock up 0.71%, ahead of a 0.10% rise in the FTSE 100, while market calendars showed the London Stock Exchange open for a regular 0800-1630 BST session. The move matters because NatWest has become a cleaner bet on the UK consumer and small-business cycle after years of restructuring. The question now is not whether the bank can make money in higher-rate conditions. It is how much of that profit can keep flowing back to shareholders if the economy turns choppier.

SSE Shares Slip: The £33bn Grid Bet Investors Are Watching Now

SSE PLC shares fell in London on Monday, trailing a steadier UK market as investors marked down the power group while weighing its heavy grid-spending programme. The stock was last at 2,387p, down 13p, or 0.54%, at 11:48 BST, with a 2,400p previous close, AJ Bell’s Morningstar-supplied data showed. The move matters because it came on a session when the FTSE 100, London’s main blue-chip share index, had clawed back early losses despite a wider risk wobble tied to Middle East tensions, higher oil and a sell-off in AI-linked stocks. That left SSE’s own story — funding, execution and the timing of returns — doing more work in the share price.

Unilever Down After €1.5B Buyback, Focus on Margins

Unilever PLC slipped in late London trade on Monday, paring some of Friday’s gains. The stock, tracked by AJ Bell, was last seen around 4,164p, down 24p or 0.57%. It opened at 4,220.5p. Unilever had climbed 2.71% on Friday ahead of a modest 0.07% uptick in the FTSE 100, after wrapping up a €1.5 billion share buyback. Investors had looked to the buyback as a rare, visible support for capital returns while Fernando Fernandez works on a bigger overhaul of the company. In a buyback, a company purchases its own shares, which typically cuts the share count and can boost earnings per share by increasing profit per each share.

Shell stock gains after oil market jolt lifts energy names

Shell Plc stock gained in London on Monday as crude prices climbed again, sending investors to oil stocks even as the broader market slipped. Shares traded up 1.02% at 3,260.5 pence, with activity near 09:50 BST, according to AJ Bell data. Oil is the main story again after Brent crude jumped $4.42, or 4.47%, to $97.15 a barrel by 0609 GMT, according to Reuters, following new Israeli strikes on Iran and Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz stays in focus as a key route for oil and LNG shipments and remains at the center of supply concerns. LNG is produced by cooling gas into a liquid so it can be shipped.

The shares had already lost 3.10% on Friday, while the FTSE 100 — the index of the largest London-listed shares — edged up 0.07% that day, showing Rio underperformed the wider market.

Glencore Share Price Today: The Stock Barely Moves as Copper, Oil and Rio Tinto Questions Loom

Glencore shares were little changed in London on Monday, holding near 591 pence as firmer copper and oil prices met a weaker tone across UK blue chips and mining peers. Hargreaves Lansdown showed a 590.90p sell price and 591.10p buy price, up 0.15%, with prices delayed by at least 15 minutes. The move matters now because Glencore is coming off a sharp one-day fall. Trading Economics put the stock at 590.50p, up 0.05%, after a Friday close of 590.20p, when it fell 3.25%; the same feed showed a roughly 103% rise over 12 months.

BP Shares Jump As Oil Shock Lets Traders Look Past Boardroom Turmoil

BP shares rose in early London trade on Monday, lifted by a fresh jump in oil prices as renewed Middle East attacks put supply risk back at the centre of the market. The London-listed stock was up 1.37% at 553.50 pence at 09:14 BST, outperforming a weaker UK market. That matters now because BP is one of the FTSE 100’s most direct large-cap plays on crude prices, just as investors are still testing whether its strategy reset can survive another bout of boardroom upheaval. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose $4.42, or 4.47%, to $97.15 a barrel by 0609 GMT after Israeli strikes on Iran and Lebanon revived concern about flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping

Monday’s binding agreement means investors see hard terms now. The deal showed up during a soft London session, helping the stock stand out as a deal mover.
