Smiths Group stock rises; BlackRock stake tops 12% as buyback capacity nears £1.9 billion

Smiths Group Plc rose 1.54% to £26.34 on Friday, beating a 0.25% gain in the FTSE 100 Index, but the price move was not the main number in the stock. The sharper investor read is the amount of stock Smiths may still buy back while a major holder has lifted its disclosed exposure. A regulatory filing on Friday showed BlackRock Inc. at 12.01% of Smiths’ voting rights and financial instruments, up from 11.01% in the previous notice. The new position covered 36.1 million voting rights, including 9.67% attached to shares and 2.34% through financial instruments.

MSCI World ETF (URTH) Rally Just Ran Into Hot CPI, a Fed Handoff and an MSCI Rebalance

The iShares MSCI World ETF edged lower on Tuesday, pulling back after hitting record highs as U.S. inflation numbers came in above forecasts. Investors were also keeping an eye on an MSCI index review set for later. URTH hovered around $200, off roughly 0.4%. That matched the dip in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF and fared a bit better than the iShares MSCI ACWI ETF, which slipped about 0.8%. Not the best timing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index climbed 0.6% in April and landed 3.8% higher than a year ago. Over the past 12 months, energy costs surged 17.9%, stirring up the rate-cut debate again—with global equity funds still heavily tilted toward AI and

BlackRock Caps Private Credit Fund Withdrawals as Market Stress Spreads

NEW YORK, March 9, 2026, 09:37 EDT BlackRock Inc is restricting withdrawals from its $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund after investors sought to pull roughly $1.2 billion—about 9.3% of assets—surpassing the fund’s 5% quarterly redemption ceiling. Just $620 million in redemptions will be honored, marking the first breach of that threshold since the fund launched. Shares of BlackRock dropped 6.7% on Friday. Morningstar’s Greggory Warren called it a “warning sign” for both the industry and regulators.
