London, 13 December 2025 — London Stock Exchange Group plc (LON: LSEG) is ending the week with investors juggling two big ideas at once: (1) LSEG as an “AI-era” data and analytics tollbooth, and (2) LSEG as a disciplined capital-return story that keeps leaning on buybacks while tightening its grip on post-trade economics. Because today is Saturday, UK markets are closed; the latest available session was Friday, 12 December 2025.

Anglo American plc shares (LSE: AAL; commonly quoted as AAL.L) head into the weekend with investors focused on one dominating storyline: the proposed “merger of equals” with Canada’s Teck Resources, a deal designed to reshape Anglo American into a far more copper‑heavy company at a moment when copper has become the metal of choice for both the energy transition and the AI-era buildout of power-hungry data centers. Reuters+1 As of 13 December 2025, Anglo American is quoted around 2,817p (£28.17), after a weaker end to the week. That places the stock well above its 52‑week lows but still below the
