IMI plc stock dips on the London Stock Exchange: what to watch before March 6 results

IMI plc stock dips on the London Stock Exchange: what to watch before March 6 results

London, Jan 6, 2026, 10:52 GMT — Regular session IMI plc stock slipped on Tuesday, with shares down about 0.4% in mid-morning London trading, as the industrial engineer lacked an immediate company catalyst. That matters because IMI is trading near the top end of its recent range after a strong run into year-end. When valuations stretch, even small wobbles can hint at a shift from momentum to fundamentals. The next scheduled update is not far off. IMI’s full-year results in early March will set expectations for order intake — the value of new orders booked — and margins heading into

Bellway share price slips after fresh buyback as investors eye February trading update

Rentokil Initial stock jumps on Morgan Stanley upgrade — here’s what investors watch next

London, January 6, 2026, 10:25 GMT — Regular session Rentokil Initial (RTO.L) shares rose about 2% on Tuesday after Morgan Stanley upgraded the British pest-control group and lifted its price target. The stock was up 2.0% at 454.1 pence by 1025 GMT. Google The call matters because Rentokil’s valuation and near-term sentiment have been tightly linked to confidence that operational momentum is improving, especially in North America. An upgrade from a major broker can pull in incremental buyers on a quiet news day and tighten the focus on the next results update. It also lands early in the year, when

London, Jan 6, 2026, 10:19 GMT — Regular session Shares in DCC (DCC.L) fell 5.2% to 4,192 pence on Tuesday, after touching 4,190 — the bottom of their 52-week range — in a sharp early-year pullback.

3i Group plc stock edges higher as rates, dividend and Q3 update come into focus

London, January 6, 2026, 10:18 GMT — Regular session 3i Group (III.L) shares rose 0.3% to 3,260 pence on Tuesday, as European equities held firm after a record-setting run at the start of 2026. 3i The move matters because 3i sits in the cross-currents of two themes investors are pricing hard in January: the path for interest rates and the valuation of private assets. Lower borrowing costs typically support private equity portfolios by lifting deal activity and the prices paid for businesses, while higher rates can do the opposite. There are also nearer-term checkpoints on the calendar. 3i said its

Venezuela Stock Market Today: Caracas index jumps 16% as new trading rules land

Venezuela Stock Market Today: Caracas index jumps 16% as new trading rules land

Caracas, January 6, 2026, 05:57 (VET) — Market closed Venezuela’s Caracas Stock Exchange benchmark IBC index surged 16.45% in the last session, closing at 2,597.68 points, as the market heads into Tuesday’s trade with fresh rule changes in place. bolsadecaracas.com The jump matters because Venezuela’s equity market is small and thinly traded, so policy tweaks and fast-moving political headlines can swing prices sharply and distort closing levels that feed into the index. The exchange itself underscored the issue by tightening the minimum cash value needed to print an official close. bolsadecaracas.com The rally also comes amid heightened political uncertainty after

IEX share price jumps 13% after tribunal remarks on market coupling — what investors are watching

Mumbai, January 6, 2026, 15:28 IST Shares of Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) jumped as much as 13% on Tuesday after an electricity tribunal hearing on market-coupling rules that could reshape how power prices are set on exchanges. The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) questioned the process behind the rules, and IEX said the coupling order should be scrapped even without the securities regulator’s insider-trading findings, Moneycontrol reported, citing CNBC-TV18. The case matters now because “market coupling” would pool buy and sell bids across exchanges to publish a single market-clearing price, narrowing the advantage of the dominant venue in attracting liquidity.

Before TSX opens: Venezuela shock keeps gold near record, puts Canada energy shares in focus

Toronto, January 6, 2026, 04:55 EST — Premarket Canada’s TSX heads into Tuesday’s open still tethered to the geopolitical shock out of Venezuela, after the U.S. military captured President Nicolás Maduro over the weekend and Washington signalled a push to open up Venezuela’s oil industry. Reuters+1 The timing matters because the Canadian benchmark has just pushed to a fresh record, leaving less room for a stumble if commodity prices reverse or energy names stay under pressure.

Brazil stock market today: Oil shock, Ibovespa reshuffle and a CEO switch to watch before the B3 bell

Sao Paulo, Jan 6, 2026, 06:55 BRT — Premarket Brazil’s benchmark Ibovespa heads into Tuesday’s open near recent highs after closing up 0.83% at 161,869.76 points, as investors weighed Venezuela-related geopolitical risk against firmer commodities. Bora Investir Why it matters now: the index is heavily tilted toward banks and commodity-linked names, so swings in crude and iron ore can quickly set the tone for the whole tape. That sensitivity is amplified this week by portfolio rebalancing tied to the new Ibovespa composition. Bora Investir+1 Rate expectations are the other pressure point.

No $2,000 IRS stimulus check is coming in February 2026 — but Trump’s tariff-check talk keeps the rumors alive
