London, January 12, 2026, 09:03 GMT — Regular session National Grid (NG.L) shares fell 1.1% to 1,179 pence by 0903 GMT, after trading between 1,178 and 1,193 pence early in the session.

When bond yields rise or markets turn defensive, dividend-heavy names can move fast.

Clorox stock (CLX) ends week higher: what to watch on dividend, Glad shift, ERP fallout

NEW YORK, January 11, 2026, 17:20 EST — Market closed. Shares of The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) rose about 1.9% to $106.19 on Friday, their third straight gain, and beat smaller moves in Procter & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive as U.S. stocks advanced. Volume was 1.9 million shares, below the stock’s 50-day average, and the close left Clorox about 35% under its 52-week high.
