Barclays PLC Stock (BARC.L) in Focus on 15 December 2025: Buybacks, Rate-Cut Bets, and Evelyn Partners Deal Talk Drive the 2026 Outlook

Barclays PLC stock (LSE: BARC, NYSE ADR: BCS) enters mid-December with two forces pulling at the same time: a powerful European bank rally that has re-rated the sector in 2025, and a growing macro debate over how quickly interest rates will fall in 2026. As of the latest available London close (Friday, 12 December 2025), Barclays shares finished at 444.35p, just below a fresh 52-week high of 454.60p set the same day. FT Markets Barclays has also continued to shrink its share count via buybacks, reporting another multi‑million‑share repurchase update published today (15 December 2025).

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Set to Open Higher as Bank of England Rate Cut Looms (15 December 2025)

London’s stock market begins the new week with a familiar late‑2025 mix: a tentative bounce in futures, heavy macro catalysts on the calendar, and a global risk backdrop still unsettled by tech volatility and China demand worries. Early indications suggest the FTSE 100 will try to recover some lost ground after finishing last week lower, but investors are unlikely to place big bets ahead of a potential Bank of England (BoE) rate cut and a packed run of UK data releases that could reshape expectations for 2026.

Reliance Industries Share Price Today (15 December 2025): What’s Driving RIL Stock, Latest News, and Analyst Targets

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) shares were trading largely steady on Monday, 15 December 2025, hovering around the ₹1,55x zone and staying within striking distance of their recent 52-week high as investors weighed a busy mix of catalysts—fresh FMCG acquisition chatter, a recent S&P credit-rating upgrade, developments around Jio’s IPO runway, and a sanctions-driven reshuffle in the group’s crude sourcing and export calculus. Business Standard+1 The near-flat action in RIL stock also mirrored a cautious broader tape: Indian equities opened softer amid ongoing foreign outflows and rupee weakness, keeping stock-specific positives from turning into a clean breakout day.

SINGAPORE — 15 December 2025 — United Overseas Bank Limited stock (SGX:U11) is back in the spotlight for a very “bank-y” reason: investors are trying to price a world where interest rates stop doing the heavy lifting, while UOB leans harder on fees, disciplined credit underwriting, and shareholder returns. As of 15 Dec 2025 (14:08 SGT), UOB shares were indicated around S$34.71, marginally lower on the day. SG Investors That level puts the stock in a familiar zone for 2025: not euphoric, not panicked—just the market running a constant stress test on what “normalised” bank earnings should look like after

SINGAPORE (Dec. 15, 2025) — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05), Southeast Asia’s largest lender, is heading into year-end with a familiar investor tug-of-war: heavy, highly visible shareholder returns on one side, and cooling net interest margins as rates drift lower on the other.
