US IPO Market 2025: Shutdown Backlog, SEC Deregulation and a Narrow December IPO Window

Budget 2025: How Rachel Reeves’ Income Tax Threshold Freeze Could Hit Your Pay Packet by 2030

Budget 2025: How Rachel Reeves’ Income Tax Threshold Freeze Could Hit Your Pay Packet by 2030

As Rachel Reeves delivers her high‑stakes Autumn Budget 2025 today, one measure looms larger than almost any explicit “tax rise”: a plan to freeze income tax thresholds for longer – the classic “stealth tax” that lets inflation quietly do the work. The chancellor has already ruled out breaking Labour’s manifesto pledge not to raise the rates of income tax, VAT or employee National Insurance. But she is leaning heavily on threshold freezes and a raft of other targeted tax changes to plug a £20–30bn hole in the public finances.Sky News+2The Guardian+2

  • First Majestic Silver Jumps 7.2% After $12M Boost to Santo Niño–Navidad Project
    July 5, 2026, 1:10 AM EDT. First Majestic Silver (TSX:AG) climbed 7.2% after getting the green light to invest US$12 million for new underground access at Santo Niño and Navidad in Mexico. The spend could extend higher-grade ore mining at Santa Elena/Ermitaño and help support production and longer-term profits. Infill drilling has been positive so far, but higher capex and risks tied to execution remain as costs stay high. Analysts are looking for revenues to hit US$4.3 billion by 2029, and earnings to grow to US$608.4 million. The new permits and plans are shifting views on First Majestic, with the Mexican assets now seen as central for growth, even as operating risks run high.
