Reckitt Benckiser Group plc Stock (RKT): Buyback Momentum, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching on 15 December 2025

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (LSE: RKT) has become one of those “quietly loud” UK large-caps: the underlying business (consumer health and hygiene) is designed to be steady, but the equity story in 2025 has been anything but boring. A multi-year reshaping plan, an ongoing £1 billion buyback, an end-of-year divestment deadline, and fresh analyst calls are all colliding as the market heads into the final stretch of 2025. On 15 December 2025, Reckitt shares were trading around 5,972p (about £59.72), down 0.47% on the session on delayed pricing. London South East Below is a detailed look at the latest news

Rio Tinto plc Stock News and Forecast (RIO): What to Watch on 15 December 2025

Rio Tinto plc Stock News and Forecast (RIO): What to Watch on 15 December 2025

Rio Tinto plc stock is starting the week in a classic miner’s tug‑of‑war: commodity prices are swinging, China data is flashing “demand anxiety,” and the company itself is in the middle of a newly announced strategy reset that investors are still digesting. On Monday, 15 December 2025, Australian equities slid and big miners were among the main drags, with Rio Tinto down around the low‑single digits in early trade as copper dropped sharply and iron ore softened.

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.

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 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.

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.
