Glencore share price slips in London as BlackRock filing keeps Rio Tinto deal watch alive

London, Jan 20, 2026, 08:32 GMT — Regular session Glencore shares fell 0.4% to 478.95 pence by 0810 GMT, pulling back after last week’s rally took the stock to a 12-month peak. (Glencore) The miner-trader has reacted sharply to takeover rumors after Rio Tinto confirmed talks about an all-share deal that would form the globe’s largest mining company. Per UK takeover rules, Rio must either submit a formal offer for Glencore or walk away by Feb. 5.

Anglo American stock slips in London as tariff jitters return — key dates ahead

London, Jan 19, 2026, 08:27 GMT — Trading session ongoing Anglo American slipped 0.1% to 3,238 pence at 0827 GMT, fluctuating between 3,186 and 3,255 pence during the session. The price remains near its 52-week peak of 3,340. Rio Tinto dropped 1.9%, while Glencore slid 2.5%. (Investing.com) The market got off to a sluggish start as investors digested fresh trade tensions.

Glencore share price rises as China scrutiny hangs over Rio Tinto merger talks

London, January 19, 2026, 08:06 GMT — Regular session Glencore shares edged up 0.5% to 481.15 pence by 0806 GMT, following a higher open and early fluctuations between 476.70 and 481.95 pence. The stock closed Friday at 478.60 pence. (Google) Glencore stays in “deal mode” as investors weigh the chances of a tie-up with Rio Tinto—and the challenges that might follow. The calendar is just as important as metal prices in this equation. China poses a major near-term hurdle. Analysts and lawyers told Reuters that a Rio-Glencore merger would require Beijing’s green light, potentially coupled with demands for asset divestitures

Anglo American share price slides after copper pullback — what to watch before London reopens

Anglo American share price slides after copper pullback — what to watch before London reopens

London, Jan 18, 2026, 08:20 GMT — Markets have closed. Anglo American plc shares slipped 2.4% on Friday, closing at 3,240 pence after hitting a one-year peak close to 3,340 pence the previous day. Trading volume reached approximately 6.6 million shares. (MarketScreener) This slide is significant because the stock has been tracking copper closely, and the metal’s recent fluctuations are once again driving daily moves among London’s major miners. When copper falters, the whole sector can quickly lose balance. Markets were closed over the weekend, so investors are eyeing metals prices and demand cues from China ahead of Monday’s open.

Rio Tinto share price: why RIO.L slid into the weekend and what matters next

Rio Tinto share price: why RIO.L slid into the weekend and what matters next

London, Jan 18, 2026, 08:11 GMT — Market closed. Rio Tinto’s London-listed shares finished Friday down 1.87% at 6,347 pence, with trading volume above its recent average as the stock eased back from a 52-week high hit a day earlier. (MarketWatch) The wider market offered little cover. The FTSE 100 ended almost flat, while miners led the day’s losers as investors fretted about weakening copper demand from top consumer China. (Reuters) That matters now because Rio’s share price has become a quick read-through on two things at once: the day-to-day pulse of industrial metals, and the cost of big corporate

BHP share price faces a Tuesday test as operational review looms and iron ore cools

BHP share price faces a Tuesday test as operational review looms and iron ore cools

Sydney, January 18, 2026, 17:08 AEDT — The market has closed. BHP Group Ltd shares closed Friday down 0.8% at A$48.99, yet remained roughly 3.5% higher than the previous week, hovering near a 52-week peak ahead of a crucial company update. (Investing.com) As the ASX remains closed over the weekend, focus shifts to Tuesday’s “operational review” — BHP’s routine production and sales report — looking for clues on whether volumes or costs are veering off track ahead of February’s earnings. This matters since BHP is frequently viewed as a direct play on iron ore and copper, both of which have

Anglo American share price slides as copper cools — what to watch before Monday

London, Jan 17, 2026, 08:24 GMT — Markets have closed. Anglo American (AAL.L) shares dropped 2.4% on Friday, halting a brief rally as metal prices fell and London’s major miners headed into the weekend weaker. This is crucial now since the stock just surged to a new 52-week high Thursday, and what happens next hinges as much on copper prices as on company news. A weaker signal from China’s demand could quickly shake the sector. London’s FTSE 100 slipped 0.04% on Friday, dragged down mainly by miners amid worries over falling copper demand in China, the biggest consumer. Glencore dropped

Rio Tinto share price slips from fresh high as Glencore deal talk runs into China risk

Rio Tinto share price slips from fresh high as Glencore deal talk runs into China risk

London, January 17, 2026, 08:21 GMT — The market has closed. Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares fell 1.87% to 6,347 pence (£63.47) on Friday, retreating from Thursday’s 52-week high of 6,468 pence. During the day, the stock fluctuated between 6,287 and 6,405 pence. (Investing.com) Rio now finds itself caught between two powerful forces: volatile daily shifts in industrial metals and the looming uncertainty of a potential merger with Glencore. Both factors trace back to China, which stands as the major customer and possibly the chief regulator. London’s market is closed this weekend, so the real test arrives Monday when trading resumes.

Chevron (CVX) stock slips as oil drops 4% — and a Venezuela license decision is in focus

Chevron (CVX) stock slips as oil drops 4% — and a Venezuela license decision is in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 21:51 (EST) — Market closed Chevron Corp (CVX) shares slipped roughly 0.6% to $166.16 Thursday as oil prices dropped about 4%, easing concerns over a potential Iran supply disruption. Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group, noted the shift from a “high likelihood … to a low likelihood,” citing how geopolitical tensions quickly cooled following President Donald Trump’s recent comments. (Reuters) The stock also saw movement amid renewed focus on Venezuela. Chevron is poised to receive an expanded U.S. license to operate there as soon as this week, according to three oil industry sources

FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

London, Jan 14, 2026, 10:58 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 0.3% to 10,170.81 in mid-morning trade, helped by gold-linked miners and a lift in AstraZeneca. Endeavour Mining gained 3.4%, AstraZeneca rose 2.6% and Glencore added 2.3%, while the index came into the day after edging down 0.03% on Tuesday. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The tone matters now because the UK’s blue-chip index is heavy on miners, oil producers and global defensives, so it tends to track big swings in commodities and rates expectations rather than the health of the local consumer. Gold and silver set the pace again after

Glencore stock steady as Rio Tinto lines up banks for possible takeover

London, 14 Jan 2026, 08:16 GMT — Regular session Glencore plc (GLEN.L) held steady at 470.2 pence in early London trading Wednesday, reflecting last week’s takeover rumors already baked into the price. (Glencore) Rio Tinto has tapped JPMorgan, Evercore, and Macquarie to advise on a possible Glencore takeover, according to a source close to the matter who spoke to Reuters. The banks are competing for a mandate that could generate fees topping $100 million. Glencore itself hasn’t officially hired an adviser yet, another insider mentioned. (Reuters) The adviser line-up matters as it signals a shift from initial discussions to the
