Glencore Shares Watch Monday Catalyst With Rio Tinto in Focus

Glencore Shares Watch Monday Catalyst With Rio Tinto in Focus

Glencore will start the week with some relief on costs. South Africa’s energy regulator okayed a temporary discounted power rate for a ferrochrome joint venture with Merafe Resources. The move was announced late Friday after London markets had finished trading. London-listed Glencore finished Friday at 567.80 pence, off 5.8 pence from Thursday's 573.60 pence. That still leaves shares barely under their May 22 closing level of 569.10 pence. The London Stock Exchange stayed closed Monday for the Spring Bank Holiday and does not open Saturdays, so investors will react to the South African tariff move next session.

FTSE 100 Today: Why London Stocks Are Stuck Near 10,500 as Inflation Bites

FTSE 100 Today: Why London Stocks Are Stuck Near 10,500 as Inflation Bites

London equities wobbled on Wednesday, with the FTSE 100 hovering just below 10,500 as stubborn inflation data out of the UK and heavy selling in Reckitt wiped out early momentum. By 09:38 BST, the blue-chip index stood at 10,493.40, edging down 0.04% after a volatile start to the session. This latest inflation reading landed at a tricky moment, as investors weigh whether the Bank of England can ignore the oil-fueled jump or if it has to keep rates higher for longer. The Office for National Statistics reported that the Consumer Prices Index climbed 3.3% year-on-year in March, compared to 3.0% in February. Motor fuel costs accounted for the largest push upward.

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Rises as Miners Rally, Morgan Sindall Jumps and easyJet Slides

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Rises as Miners Rally, Morgan Sindall Jumps and easyJet Slides

The FTSE 100 edged up roughly 0.2% to 10,579 by Thursday morning, lifted mostly by gains in mining and financial shares as optimism for dialogue between Washington and Tehran calmed nerves. The mid-cap FTSE 250 outperformed, too. Shares of Morgan Sindall popped, while easyJet slipped on a downbeat outlook for bookings and fuel expenses. London’s rebound carried weight after the FTSE 100 shed 0.5% on Wednesday—its sharpest single-day slide in over a week. Early earnings reports started trickling in, laying bare how the Middle East conflict is carving up sectors: builders and miners catching a lift, while airlines and consumer names took a hit.

Rio Tinto plc Drawn Into Hormuz Supply Shock as Amrun Bauxite Cargo Turns Toward China

Rio Tinto plc Drawn Into Hormuz Supply Shock as Amrun Bauxite Cargo Turns Toward China

Shipping data showed a vessel loaded with bauxite from Rio Tinto plc’s Amrun mine in Australia diverted from the Gulf and is now heading for China, drawing the miner into the same supply snarl that pushed aluminium prices to a four-year high on Monday. The Strait of Hormuz blockage is now disrupting raw material shipments too, not just metal exports. Bauxite gets refined into alumina before ending up as aluminium. Roughly 9% of the world’s aluminium comes out of the Middle East, which has to bring in bauxite and alumina from elsewhere. Disruptions to shipping routes can squeeze supplies fast.
