Anglo American stock climbs after Chile copper agreement locks in 30,000 tonnes a year

Anglo American plc climbed in early Thursday trading in London.

The delayed quote put the stock at 3,654 pence at 09:06 BST, up 42 pence, but still off 6.4% from Monday’s close. The FTSE 100 traded 0.3% higher than Monday. Shares in Anglo dropped 2.6% Wednesday.

U.S. Drone Ambitions Meet China Rare Earth Leverage

China said Wednesday it will talk with the U.S. about “reasonable” concerns on rare-earth export controls, but defended its rules as legal. Washington gets a chance to work on supply-chain issues, but not the broader rollback it wanted. Rare earths go into high-strength magnets, semiconductors, cars, and weapons. Export controls mean rules that can slow or block shipments. Pentagon officials want drones to move from a niche solution to a standard weapon. The Drone Dominance program says its first Gauntlet competition finished with 30,000 drones ordered. The program also plans to buy over 200,000 drones by 2027.

UK Summer Flights Could Be Cut As Jet Fuel Shortage Fears Hit Holiday Season

Britain is drafting temporary measures to allow airlines to drop or merge summer flights ahead of time, a move designed to save jet fuel and sidestep last-minute chaos as the holiday rush approaches. According to the Department for Transport, UK carriers aren't dealing with any current supply issues. This comes as the summer rush approaches its peak, with fuel supply chains feeling the strain following the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz—a vital corridor for oil and gas. The UK relies on imports for roughly 65% of its jet fuel, much of which comes from the Middle East, according to The Guardian.

Crypto ETFs Today: Bitcoin ETFs Draw $336 Million, Ether Funds Extend Inflow Streak

U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $335.8 million on Wednesday, while spot ether ETFs added $96.4 million, marking another day of strong inflows as crypto-fund interest bounced back. Early Thursday, bitcoin hovered close to $80,000, recently quoted at $78,119, with ether trading at $2,351.36. Spot ETFs—publicly traded funds that mirror the token’s price—are now a direct gauge of traditional investor appetite for crypto. In the past seven U.S. trading days, bitcoin funds pulled in roughly $1.87 billion, while ether funds brought in another $474 million. All told, that’s $2.35 billion flowing into the two combined.

Lloyds tipped as front-runner for Aegon UK business as bidders circle

Lloyds Banking Group plc has emerged as the frontrunner after the opening bids for Aegon’s UK arm, according to Financial News, which cited sources close to the talks. Both Phoenix Group and Canada Life have submitted initial proposals too. The business could fetch anywhere from 1 billion to 1.5 billion pounds. Final bids are expected next month, with a decision likely by April. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are on advisory duty. The prospective buyers declined to comment, Financial News noted. The shift is significant—banks are chasing more fee revenue from wealth and pensions, with the tailwind from rising interest rates starting to dissipate. Back in February, NatWest signed off on a £2.7 billion purchase of Evelyn Partners. RBC Capital Markets
