Stock Market Today: Live Updates 10.07.2026

LIVEMarkets rolling coverageStarted: July 10, 2026, 4:00 AM EDTUpdated: July 10, 2026, 4:10 PM EDT James Hardie (NYSE:JHX) Sinks After Russell Index Removal July 10, 2026, 4:01 PM EDT. James Hardie Industries (NYSE:JHX) dropped 5.3% after being taken out of the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 3000 Growth indexes effective June 27, 2026. That could prompt some funds tracking those benchmarks to shift holdings. Still, the main pitch on James Hardie is that it can turn its fiber cement and AZEK platforms into earnings growth, even while margins come under pressure and the housing market stays weak.

NAB shares edge up after deposit hedge balances loan margin hit

National Australia Bank heads into Tuesday with a slight lead as financials climbed and the broader Australian market lost ground. NAB shares closed Monday close to A$37.90, up as the financial sector gained 0.5%. For ASX:NAB, what’s holding up earnings is more important than the size of the move. Competition is driving down returns on new loans. Stable deposits, taking longer to reprice, are still pushing yields higher for the bank and helping NAB’s margins while rates stay high.

ASX:XJO edges down 0.1% as WiseTech slide outweighs insurer gains

ASX 200 slips as WiseTech drops, miners fall Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 finished down 0.14% at 8,816.1 on Monday. WiseTech Global tumbled and heavyweight miners fell, dragging on the index. Gains in banks, insurers and gold producers could not lift the market. The Australian cash market remains closed for Tuesday. Big swings in sectors kept the main index’s finish flat. Tech tumbled 4.2%, healthcare slid 1.3%, and communications was down 1.2%. Financials rose 0.5%. Breadth on the ASX 300 was about even, with 134 stocks up and 139 down.

FTSE 100 up 0.7% with banks in front after Starmer quits

FTSE 100 climbed 0.72% to 10,437.85 on Monday as shares in banks, miners, and airlines rose after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he will step down. Defence names lagged. The blue-chip index broke a two-day losing streak. FTSE 250 ended nearly flat at 23,197.01. FTSE 250 lags headline rally. The mid-cap index is exposed to the UK economy and didn't pick up with large caps, keeping a 0.74 percentage-point gap with the FTSE 100. That left Monday’s gain looking like a focused relief move in banks and international stocks rather than a broad re-rating of UK growth hopes.

WiseTech Global slides 18% on news of AFP probe into founder White

WiseTech Global dropped Monday after news the Australian Federal Police is probing Executive Chair Richard White for alleged involvement in a woman’s immigration status and information given on a visa application. Shares closed at A$30.08, the lowest finish in nearly five years. It’s not just about lawsuits. White isn’t just a figurehead—WiseTech still names him as executive chair and chief innovation officer. Zubin Appoo is CEO, but White is hands-on with product strategy, especially now as WiseTech takes in e2open and changes its operating model.

CBA rises in Sydney ahead of CPI release as bank rotation strengthens

Commonwealth Bank of Australia gained A$1.01 to end at A$163.41 on Monday, as the S&P/ASX 200 finished down 0.14%. CBA shares touched A$164.13 during the session. Bank stocks offered some support, but selling hit technology, healthcare and resources. Investors are going back to using CBA as a play on where Australian interest rates are headed, instead of focusing on any new earnings news. The Reserve Bank left the cash rate at 4.35% last week after three hikes this year. CBA, ANZ and NAB economists say rates are now at their peak. Westpac still forecasts one more hike to 4.85%.

CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) drops 3% with rebound meeting resistance

CSL Limited gave up 2.96% to finish at A$112.88 on Monday, pulling back after Friday’s 7.62% surge. The rally faded as buyers did not push the stock higher, with no new corporate catalysts. The Australian cash market was closed at press time. Trading is set to resume as usual on Tuesday. The scale of the move stands out. CSL saw 8.16 million shares trade on Friday, about 3.7x its usual daily volume. The stock started Monday at A$116.25, down seven cents from the Friday close, then dropped to A$110.89. This kind of trade lines up more with a wave of buyers hitting ready sellers than a new earnings event.

Atlas Arteria (ASX:ALX) stock pinned at A$5.10 as IFM nears control threshold

Atlas Arteria finished Monday at A$5.10, exactly matching IFM Investors’ revised cash bid, after unusually heavy trading pushed the infrastructure fund’s holding above 45%. The stock moved within a one-cent range, from A$5.10 to A$5.11. Some 59.1 million securities changed hands, about 10 times the recent daily average of 5.84 million. That is takeover price-pinning: a bidder buying at a fixed price anchors the market around that level, leaving little room for ordinary earnings or traffic expectations to move the quote. IFM’s unconditional offer is due to close at 7 p.m. Sydney time on Thursday.

BHP (ASX:BHP) share price falls again as Jansen costs test capital discipline

BHP Group Ltd fell 1.73% to A$60.34 on Monday, extending the selloff triggered by its Canadian potash reset. Rio Tinto lost 0.78% and Fortescue 0.76%, while BHP’s New York depositary shares were down about 2.3% at US$85.85 in late-morning trade. The relative move matters. The S&P/ASX 200 ended just 0.1% lower at 8,816.1, yet State Street’s index-tracking fund put BHP at 11.61% of its holdings on June 19. A simple weight-times-return calculation suggests BHP alone cut about 0.20 percentage point from the benchmark — more than the market’s net fall. Gains elsewhere hid part of the damage.

Autotrader Group up in London as buyback plan and China brands fuel EPS hopes

Autotrader Group climbed in late London trade Monday. Investors got a look at a new buyback filing from the online marketplace. Some fresh numbers on surging Chinese car makers were also in focus as both helped balance slower short-term revenue growth at the company. Autotrader shares changed hands at 484.9 pence, up 1.4%. The FTSE 100 added 0.55%. Monday’s move still leaves Autotrader down about 43% from its 52-week high at 844.4 pence. That’s driven focus on how much capital the company can return and how strong its position remains.

Babcock International (LSE:BAB) shares fall 6.5% as Type 31 risks offset buyback

Babcock International Group PLC led FTSE 100 fallers in afternoon trading on Monday as investors focused on the remaining financial risk in its Royal Navy frigate programme. At 15:13 BST the stock was down 7.2%, compared with a 3.4% fall for BAE Systems, while the FTSE 100 was up 0.5% — a gap suggesting that contract execution, rather than a broad defence-sector retreat, drove most of the move. The £140 million charge was not, by itself, new information. Babcock disclosed it on May 13, when the shares rose 3.6% to 1,043.14p. Monday’s reversal therefore points to a different catalyst: the audited detail on what remains to be spent and how much of the reported cash improvement can be repeated.

IMI drops off year high after £500 million buyback cuts shares

IMI plc slipped roughly 1.4% late Monday in London, easing back from Friday’s top even as the broader market moved higher. The stock pulled back with no new operating warning, and some traders pointed to profit-taking after the recent rally. IMI reported its latest buyback on Friday, picking up 54,318 shares at an average price of £30.31 each. That’s near the day’s top trade at £30.42. The group cancels the bought shares, which shrinks its total share count.

Coca-Cola HBC stock (LSE:CCH) rises as World Cup mix, Africa deal timing draw focus

Coca-Cola HBC AG edged higher on Monday, trading near 4,560 pence in late London business. The gain was modest and slightly lagged the wider market, leaving the bottler with a market value of about £16.6 billion. The immediate question is not whether World Cup promotions can sell more drinks. It is whether they can lift sales value as well as litres, while management prepares investors for the planned expansion of its African business.

Halma shares close flat at 3,954p as photonics focus weighs on premium

Halma plc traded flat on Monday. The shares are struggling to come back from the 15.4% drop after the June 11 outlook. At 3,954p, the latest price is up just 0.7% from the 3,928p close right after results, while the wider London market moved higher. Halma’s last year numbers looked fine. Revenue was up 15% to £2.582 billion. Adjusted EBIT gained 22% to £594.5 million. What got investors’ attention was the new outlook. The company now sees low-double-digit organic, constant-currency growth through March 2027, with photonics expected to add about five points. That’s down from the eight points photonics delivered in last year’s 16% organic growth.

Marks & Spencer (LSE:MKS) climbs 3% as UK retail mix helps margins

Marks and Spencer Group plc shares jumped 3.3% to around 359.5 pence on Monday afternoon, leading gains among retailers in London. Next was up 1.6%, and Tesco put on 0.9%. That suggests M&S is pushing ahead of sector peers and not just following a broad retail rally. Investors are watching more than the headline gain in British retail sales. The mix matters. Department-store and online sales picked up in May, the areas where M&S is looking to rebuild after last year’s cyber issues hit clothing, stock and digital business.

Imperial Brands holds steady as buyback and index moves lend support

Imperial Brands held steady around 2,740 pence in London on Monday. Shares showed little reaction to earnings, trailing the broader market. Corporate and index flows in the name were also muted. Imperial bought 320,000 shares on Friday for cancellation, paying an average of 2,740.4777 pence each, the company said in a buyback notice. That’s about 9.5% of the LSE’s 3.365 million on-book volume for the session. Total spend came to roughly £8.77 million. The outstanding share count dropped to 770.817 million.

Diageo dips 1.5% on LSE as investors watch for cost-cut news

Diageo dropped 1.5% Monday as markets watched for more on CEO Dave Lewis’s expected shake-up at the Johnnie Walker and Guinness company. Shares last changed hands at 1,507.5 pence at 1437 BST, off a session low of 1,498.5 pence. Diageo’s leaders face savings targets, but it’s not clear yet which teams will take the hit. The company hasn’t set a headcount number, and insiders expect an internal update on job cuts sometime this week, Reuters said June 17. Diageo said it is overhauling its operating model to sharpen its competitive edge.

SSE Shares Edge Higher with Grid Debt Linked to Indexation (LSE:SSE)

SSE PLC moved higher Monday, with shares at 2,352 pence at 14:50 BST, up 28 pence. There was no new trading update from the company, and the latest regulatory filing was a director shareholding notice on June 17. UK markets shifted focus back to political risk and borrowing after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would resign. Shares in rate-sensitive housing names dropped and the debate returned about whether a possible new government might ease up on fiscal policy. SSE shares moved higher.

GSK Stock Slips as Tivicay Priority Review Sets Up Busy FDA Calendar (LSE:GSK)

GSK plc shares traded lower on Monday even after its HIV unit secured an accelerated US regulatory review for a wider use of Tivicay. The stock, listed as LSE:GSK, was around 1,914 pence in afternoon dealings, roughly 0.6% below Friday’s close, while the FTSE 100 gained about 0.6%. The muted reaction reflects the size of the immediate opportunity. Extending Tivicay to newborns would close an important treatment gap, but it would not by itself offset the looming 2028 loss of US exclusivity for dolutegravir. HIV remains central to GSK: the division generated £1.8 billion in first-quarter sales, about 24% of the group total, and grew 10% at constant exchange rates.

LSE slides as debate on AI risk halts rebound

LSE:LSEG shares traded lower on Monday afternoon, holding onto much of last week’s slide after a downgrade. At 14:04 BST, a Cboe Europe real-time read showed the stock at 8,416p, off 0.52% and down 7.76% for the past five sessions. LSE:LSEG’s bounce on Friday didn’t hold up much. The stock rose 1.46% to 8,460p after ending Thursday at 8,338p, when it had dropped 7%. The move signals buyers are still struggling with the market’s reset on its AI exposure.

Fresnillo shares edge up 2.7% on silver gains, Sinda IPO move

Fresnillo PLC was up roughly 2.7% in Monday afternoon trade in London with silver prices picking up and the Mexican miner set to take a minority stake in Sinda Ltd in the explorer’s planned New York IPO. Shares last traded at 3,051.5 pence on Cboe Europe’s BXE order book at 14:04 BST. Fresnillo picks up a stake in a big silver deposit in Mexico through the investment, but avoids full acquisition costs and execution risk. Sinda’s property is next to Fresnillo’s exploration project in Guanajuato, a well-known silver-mining area.
