LIVEMarkets rolling coverageStarted: July 11, 2026, 4:00 AM EDTUpdated: July 11, 2026, 12:59 PM EDT How Big an ISA Needed for £1,000 Monthly Passive Income? July 11, 2026, 12:55 PM EDT. Earning £1,000 a month of passive income takes a Stocks and Shares ISA of roughly £240,000, based on a 5% average dividend yield. That yield tops the FTSE 100’s 3% average but is possible with some blue-chip names. Hitting the £240,000 mark could require £20,000 contributions each year with compounding over about ten years.

ANZ shares gain as rate worries ease, focus stays on RBA June decision

ANZ Group Holdings Limited shares climbed Wednesday with buyers returning to Australian banks. Some investors are betting softer economic numbers could mean the Reserve Bank of Australia won't need to hike rates soon. ANZ ended the day at A$34.56, up A$0.29, or 0.85%. The stock traded between A$34.15 and A$34.62. S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.6% to 8,653.30 after three days of losses as banks and consumer names bounced, according to a Reuters report. Financials picked up 0.9%, the best showing for the group in almost two weeks.

CSL Shares Bounce Over $100 as Investors Watch for Bottom After Downgrade

CSL Limited traded back above the A$100 mark on Wednesday as the stock picked up after last month’s profit warning. Buyers moved into healthcare names and checked if CSL’s reset had been digested by the market. CSL closed at A$102.95, gaining 3.5% from Tuesday’s A$99.47 finish. CSL’s jump wasn’t just a routine bounce. Market Index puts the stock up more than 14% from its June 3 low, and Intelligent Investor numbers have it gaining 11.23% over the last seven days. Still, CSL shares are off 42.67% in 2026, pointing to the drop in investor confidence.

UK stock market today: FTSE 100 rises, but oil and rate fears keep London on edge

London stocks rose on Wednesday, but the move was less a broad vote of confidence than a rotation into oil-linked and defensive shares as investors weighed Middle East risk, higher energy prices and fresh pressure on UK rate expectations. The FTSE 100 ended 0.3% higher at 10,254.8, with the more domestically exposed FTSE 250 up 0.5%. The change from Tuesday mattered. A day earlier, the FTSE 100 had fallen 1.4% to 10,227.33, its weakest close since May 15, dragged down by banks and energy stocks as crude prices slipped and investors monitored the conflict in the Middle East. Wednesday’s rebound only partly repaired that damage.

ASX 200 Moves Higher; Banks and Retail Stocks Gain on Rate-Cut Hopes

ASX 200 ends higher, snapping a three-day slide, as rate outlook shifts Australian stocks staged a rebound Wednesday. The S&P/ASX 200 gained 49.1 points, or 0.57%, to close at 8,653.3. Investors picked up retail, banking, and property names after a change in local rate expectations. The All Ordinaries finished up 32.2 points, or 0.36%, to 8,857. Market action stood out this time as miners weren’t in the lead, which is unusual. Shares tied to borrowing costs or consumer demand moved higher after NAB said it has dropped its forecast for another rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia in August, and now sees the 4.35% cash rate as the top for this cycle.

CBA trails market as rate-cut bets drop

Commonwealth Bank of Australia traded lower on Wednesday even as the Australian market gained. The drop was small, but investors again asked if the largest bank in the country is worth its premium in a higher-for-longer rate cycle. CBA ended the session at A$160.24, slipping 24 cents from its A$160.48 finish on Tuesday. The stock traded between A$158.80 and A$161.50 during the day. The S&P/ASX 200 rose, adding 49.10 points, or 0.57%, to close at 8,653.30.

BHP holds steady with Port Hedland strike vote in focus

BHP Group inched up 12 cents to A$60.20 on Wednesday afternoon in Sydney as investors watched new labour trouble at Port Hedland. The shares gained 0.20% at 4:10 p.m., holding gains as the ASX 200 put on 0.57%. The move was muted for a stock that usually reacts to iron ore. Unions at BHP’s Port Hedland site are in focus for investors, with talk of possible strike action raising supply questions for one of the main iron ore ports. According to Reuters, electrical workers might walk off the job by June 30 if there’s no agreement on pay.

NAB Shares Rebound From Year Low As Rate-Cut Hopes Move ASX Banks

NAB shares climbed Wednesday as some buying came back into Australian banks following Tuesday’s slide. National Australia Bank Ltd. settled at A$36.33, up 1.03%. The stock touched a 52-week low of A$35.48 the previous day before investors responded to changing rate bets and a bounce in the ASX. Traders shifted focus away from any new company filing, watching the rate outlook instead. The odds of another Reserve Bank of Australia rate hike are down, and bets are building that cuts could be next. That’s key for banks. Higher rates help lending margins, but they can also put the brakes on borrowing and raise the risk of bad loans.

Wesfarmers up 4% with AI bet and Bunnings expansion in focus

Wesfarmers Ltd. shares climbed 4.25% to A$83.39 on Wednesday. The Bunnings and Kmart parent talked up profit growth prospects tied to artificial intelligence, digitisation, and a bigger addressable market for Bunnings at its 2026 strategy update. That jump outpaced the S&P/ASX 200, which rose 0.57% to 8,653.30. No change in earnings from the last session, but management told investors more about where they see possible sales growth and savings if shoppers keep watching prices. They pointed to productivity, upgraded inventory data, automated supply chains and using AI in sales. Wesfarmers put up its Strategy Briefing Day slides and webcast on June 10 at its investor centre.

BAE Systems Trades Higher with Defence Demand Still Strong

BAE Systems shares moved up Wednesday as buyers came back to the UK defence contractor after a weaker Tuesday. Geopolitical tension is keeping attention on military spend, even while London’s wider market stayed quiet. BAE’s investor site listed shares at 1,955p at 14:44 BST using LSE data delayed by at least 15 minutes. AJ Bell had a 1,952p buy price, up 18p, or 0.93%, from the last close at 1,933.5p. BAE’s action puts it back in the camp of names reacting to defence spending, not trading like the usual industrials. Reuters said early Wednesday saw the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 touch near three-week lows as investors looked to a shaky ceasefire in the Middle East. European stocks were little

EnQuest shares rally after $833 million Malaysia deal shifts outlook

EnQuest PLC surged in London trading Wednesday after the oil and gas group announced plans to buy Malaysian assets in a deal valued at $833 million. Investors saw the proposed purchase as a possible shift for EnQuest, which has mostly been known for its older UK North Sea fields and heavy tax burden. EnQuest traded up 5.20p, or 27.23%, on a delayed Hargreaves Lansdown quote, with a sell/buy spread at 24.15p/24.55p. The shares opened at 22.00p, versus a prior close at 19.10p. Volume was 89.5 million shares.

Experian drops after Deutsche Bank cuts target, FY27 growth risks linger

Experian PLC shares fell on Wednesday after Deutsche Bank cut its price target for the credit data group, though the broker kept its buy rating. That added more pressure on the stock, which is still coming off last month’s drop. Shares slid after Experian’s guidance pointed to slower organic growth for FY27. Experian shares traded at 2,572p in late London trade, off 47p, or 1.79%, at 15:46 BST. The stock swung between 2,515p and 2,640p in a choppy session.

Tesco PLC share price rises before a key June test for its market-share run

Tesco PLC shares climbed on Wednesday, giving investors a fresh reason to look again at the UK’s largest grocer before next week’s trading update. A delayed Reuters/LSEG quote showed the stock at 464.8p, up 8.9p, or 1.95%, while Hargreaves Lansdown data showed a previous close of 455.9p and market value of about £29.26 billion. What changed today was not a new profit forecast. The fresh company filing was another buyback notice. Still, the share move matters because Tesco is heading into its June 18 Q1 trading statement with the market focused on whether recent market-share gains can keep supporting profit, not just sales.

Haleon shares tick up on £175m India oral-care bet

Haleon shares ticked up in London on Wednesday. Investors looked at a new £175 million India expansion and renewed buybacks, balancing that with a share price that had fallen earlier this week. The company, which owns Sensodyne and Advil, changed hands at 336.10p/336.20p, up 0.60p. Shares opened at 338.40p after closing Tuesday at 335.50p. Haleon edged higher on Wednesday after dropping 1.78% to £3.31 on Monday, lagging the FTSE 100’s 0.05% uptick, data from MarketWatch said. The small move up hints investors are weighing the company’s new emerging-market strategy following a softer period for Haleon shares.

Reckitt Benckiser gains as investors look at buyback and dividend after hitting 52-week low

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc picked up in London trade on Wednesday, with shares trading at 4,577p at 14:50 BST, up from Tuesday’s close at 4,540p. The move followed the consumer goods maker’s new 52-week low from earlier in the week. Shares are still well below the stock’s January 9 high of 6,522.92p. Reckitt’s latest move is drawing attention, with investors now watching shareholder returns instead of just brand performance as the company works to get back on track after a weak start to 2026. Investors Chronicle reports the stock finished 18.39% above its 52-week low of 3,866p from June 8, showing shares are still climbing off the bottom rather than shifting into a new phase.

LSEG shares down as FCA data clash weighs

LSEG shares dropped Wednesday as investors reacted to a rising clash among UK regulators over how trading data is handled.

The stock was at 8,924p, down 204p or 2.23% at 14:38 BST, after ranging from 8,872p to 9,212p earlier. LSEG shares slipped again after falling 1.25% to 9,128p on Tuesday, according to Reuters data. The drop came as Reuters said the group had ramped up opposition to the Financial Conduct Authority’s trading-data plan. The FCA aims to finalise the proposal in July.

National Grid shares slip as $750m debt deal puts £70bn grid plan back in focus

National Grid plc shares edged lower on Wednesday as a fresh U.S. debt filing pulled attention back to the central question for investors: how the utility funds one of the biggest grid spending programmes in Europe without letting borrowing costs eat into returns. The London-listed stock was quoted at 1,195p at 14:02 BST, down 0.38% on the day, after opening at 1,198p and touching an intraday high of 1,201p.

Intertek Stock Nears Decision Day as EQT’s £60 Bid Deadline Keeps Shares Below Offer Price

Intertek Group plc shares edged lower on Wednesday as investors waited for EQT to decide whether its £60-a-share approach will become a binding takeover offer. The testing and inspection group traded at 5,510p, down 0.27%, after moving between 5,450p and 5,565p, according to delayed market data. The stock’s small decline matters because the gap to the possible offer price is now the main signal traders are watching. That gap is not trivial. At 5,510p, Intertek is roughly 490p below EQT’s £60 cash proposal, a discount of about 8%. In merger trading, that discount is the “spread” — the market’s shorthand for the risk that a proposed deal may not complete, may take longer than expected, or may never become a
