UK stock market today: FTSE100 rises as Glencore jumps on Rio takeover talks

UK stock market today: FTSE100 rises as Glencore jumps on Rio takeover talks

London, January 9, 2026, 11:36 GMT — Regular session London stocks edged higher on Friday, with Glencore’s sharp rise on takeover talk helping to steady the UK stock market after two down days. The FTSE 100 was up about 0.4% at roughly 10,088 points, with miners dominating both the winners and losers list. (MarketScreener UAE Emirates) This matters now because London’s main index still behaves like a bet on global growth and deal risk: miners, oil and banks do a lot of the heavy lifting. Investors were also reluctant to lean too hard either way before U.S. payrolls data and

Glencore stock jumps 8% on Rio Tinto merger talks as Feb 5 deadline looms

London, Jan 9, 2026, 10:17 GMT — Regular session Glencore shares jumped 8.4% to 447.7 pence on Friday after the miner said it was in preliminary discussions with Rio Tinto about a possible all-share deal — meaning shareholders would be paid in shares rather than cash. The company said Rio must, by Feb. 5, announce a firm intention to make an offer or say it will not proceed. (London South East) For Glencore investors, the talks drag the stock back into deal maths: what price Rio would put on coal cashflows, a big trading operation and copper assets the market

Glencore stock jumps on Rio Tinto takeover talks — the deadline and next catalysts investors watch

London, Jan 9, 2026, 10:45 GMT — Regular session Glencore plc shares jumped on Friday after the miner and commodities trader confirmed it is in preliminary talks with Rio Tinto about a possible tie-up that could include an all-share merger. Glencore’s share price tools showed the stock at 447.83 pence, up 34.83 pence, by 10:00 GMT, with prices delayed by 10 minutes. Glencore+1 The revived talks land as big miners jostle for metals such as copper, used in power grids and data centres, and after a run of dealmaking across the sector.

Rio Tinto stock slips in early London trade as copper demand outlook clashes with iron ore risks

Rio Tinto stock slips in early London trade as copper demand outlook clashes with iron ore risks

London, January 8, 2026, 08:42 (GMT) — Regular session Rio Tinto shares eased on Thursday, down 0.9% at 6,204 pence, after setting a 52-week high the previous day. The stock opened at 6,260p and has traded between 6,194p and 6,260p so far. London South East The timing matters because miners are being pulled in two directions: long-term copper demand looks stronger, but the near-term iron ore picture is still fragile. S&P Global said a surge in artificial intelligence and defence spending could lift copper demand 50% by 2040, taking annual demand to 42 million metric tons from 28 million in

Investing.com The pullback comes as copper prices remain the key tape for diversified miners after the metal vaulted above $13,000 a metric ton this week on supply fears. “Copper

Rio Tinto share price rises toward a 52-week high as iron ore futures start 2026 firmer

LONDON, January 5, 2026, 08:33 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares rose 1.8% to 6,093 pence by 0833 GMT, after touching 6,106.7 pence, a new 52-week high, trading data showed. Google The move matters because Rio is one of the FTSE 100’s biggest constituents and is widely treated as a read-through for Chinese demand, which drives pricing for iron ore and other industrial metals. The first full trading week of 2026 is opening with metal demand signals back in the spotlight after holiday-thinned trading.

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Dividend Outlook, and 2026 Forecasts as of Dec. 26, 2025

Dec. 26, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar identity—and a newly sharpened narrative. It’s still the iron-ore giant whose cash flows can swing with China’s steel cycle. But in the past few weeks, investors have been repricing Rio as something closer to a “materials platform” for the electrification era: copper growth, aluminium discipline, and an emerging lithium pillar—wrapped in a CEO-led push to simplify, sell non-core assets, and squeeze more output (and cash) out of the existing base.

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): Latest News, Share Price Drivers, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 25, 2025)

Rio Tinto plc stock is ending 2025 with momentum—and with a long list of catalysts investors are trying to price in: record copper prices, a strategy reset under CEO Simon Trott, expanding lithium ambitions after a major acquisition, and fresh operational guidance stretching into 2026. Add in a legal dispute tied to sanctions and some governance constraints that affect buybacks, and Rio’s year-end story becomes more than “iron ore miner does iron ore things.” Because December 25 is a market holiday in many regions, the most recent actionable pricing and news flow largely reflects Christmas Eve trading and the final

Rio Tinto plc Stock (RIO): UBS Highlights Argentina Lithium Upside as Simandou Exports Begin and a $10B Divestment Plan Takes Shape

Dec. 18, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc stock is back in the spotlight today as investors weigh a new lithium-focused take from UBS against fresh reporting from Guinea’s Simandou iron ore mega-project and the miner’s broader strategy reset under CEO Simon Trott. On the Australia-listed line (RIO:AX), shares rose as much as 1.8% to a record high of A$143.89, after UBS said its confidence has increased in Rio Tinto’s lithium strategy following a deep dive into the company’s Argentina brine assets. UBS kept a neutral stance and an A$140 price target, noting execution discipline remains decisive even as the lithium

Rio Tinto plc (RIO.L) Stock: Latest News, Forecasts, and Analyst Outlook as of December 17, 2025

London, December 17, 2025 — Rio Tinto plc is ending 2025 in a familiar tug-of-war: iron ore cashflows on one side, an accelerating push into copper and lithium on the other, with a sprinkling of geopolitical/legal risk and energy-cost politics in the middle. For investors, that mix matters because Rio Tinto stock tends to trade less like a “company” and more like a portfolio of commodity exposures—with management execution acting as the amplifier.

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.
