BP stock jumps with oil prices as buyback rolls on — here’s what investors watch next

BP stock jumps with oil prices as buyback rolls on — here’s what investors watch next

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:25 GMT — Market closed BP PLC (BP.L) shares rose 2.39% to close at 426 pence on Friday, ending the week on a firmer note. The stock is still about 10.6% below its 52-week high and trading volume was below its 50-day average. (MarketWatch) Oil did most of the work. Brent settled up 2.18% at $63.34 a barrel on Friday and U.S. WTI crude ended at $59.12 as traders weighed supply risks tied to Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war. “The uprising in Iran is keeping the market on edge,” said Phil Flynn, senior analyst with the

Vodafone stock slides after buyback update — what traders watch next

Vodafone stock slides after buyback update — what traders watch next

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:46 GMT — Market closed Vodafone Group shares ended Friday down 2.36% at 101.20 pence, a weak finish ahead of next week’s reopening after weekend markets shut. (Yahoo Finance) The telecoms group said it bought 1,355,080 shares on Jan. 8 at a volume-weighted average price of 103.38 pence, part of its ongoing repurchase programme. (Stockopedia) That matters now because Vodafone’s equity story has tilted back toward cash returns — buybacks and dividends — and the next trading update is close enough to make positioning awkward. The company has said the buyback programme can run until Feb.

Rightmove shares get a fresh Morgan Stanley downgrade — here’s what matters before Monday

Rightmove shares get a fresh Morgan Stanley downgrade — here’s what matters before Monday

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:40 GMT — Market closed Rightmove shares head into the new week with a fresh broker downgrade hanging over them, after Morgan Stanley cut the UK property portal to “underweight” — a call to hold less than a benchmark. (TipRanks) The timing is awkward for property-linked names. UK house prices rose just 0.3% in the year to December, Halifax data showed this week, and the lender flagged a soft month-end. “It looks very likely interest rates will be cut less this year than they were last year,” Matt Swannell, chief economic adviser to the EY Item

Anglo American stock jumps on EU Teck signal as key February dates loom

Anglo American stock jumps on EU Teck signal as key February dates loom

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:24 GMT — Market closed Anglo American plc shares ended Friday up 2.7% at 3,216 pence, a whisker below the week’s 52-week high, after signs that its planned merger with Canada’s Teck Resources is moving through Europe with fewer obvious hurdles. (MarketWatch) The shift matters because the Teck deal has been the main driver of the stock since it was announced, and regulators have been the long pole in the tent. A European Commission filing showed the deal is under a simplified review — a faster track used when the watchdog does not flag major competition

Glencore stock jumps on Rio Tinto deal talks — what GLEN.L investors watch next

London, Jan 10, 2026, 07:50 GMT — Market closed Glencore (GLEN.L) shares closed up 9.6% on Friday at 452.65 pence after Rio Tinto confirmed preliminary discussions about a possible combination that could include an all-share merger. The stock traded in a 437.9–459.0 pence range and is now sitting near the top end of its recent band as London markets remain shut for the weekend. (Investing.com) The revived talks matter because they point to another big swing at consolidation among miners chasing copper and other industrial metals, while trying not to spook shareholders on coal. A combined Rio-Glencore would be valued

RELX PLC stock ends week higher on buyback update, with Feb. 12 results in focus

London, Jan 10, 2026, 07:55 GMT — Market closed RELX PLC shares closed higher on Friday after the information and analytics group disclosed another day of buybacks. The stock ended at 3,178 pence, up about 0.95% from the prior close, and traded between 3,136 and 3,180 pence, leaving it below its 52-week high of 4,205. (Investing.com) The daily buyback notices do not usually move markets on their own. But they set a steady baseline for a stock that many investors treat as a defensive holding ahead of full-year results, when guidance and cash returns come back into view. Buybacks matter

Rio Tinto stock slides on Glencore merger talks as Feb 5 takeover deadline looms

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:01 (GMT) — Market closed Rio Tinto Plc (RIO.L) shares dropped 3.04% on Friday after the miner revealed early talks with Glencore about a potential merger. The stock closed at 6,006 pence, trading in a range from 5,991p to 6,118p, setting the 6,000p level as a key point to watch when the London market opens. (Investing.com) The renewed talks have revived one of the market’s biggest “what-ifs,” and the clock is ticking: under UK takeover rules, Rio has until Feb. 5 to make a firm offer or publicly rule out a deal.

London, January 10, 2026, 08:01 GMT — Market closed Compass Group PLC (CPG.L) chief financial officer Petros Parras bought 14,800 shares in the contract caterer at 23.838 pounds apiece on Friday, a regulatory filing showed. The stock ended down 0.47% at 2,345 pence, lagging a 0.8% rise in the FTSE 100. (TradingView) The director dealing lands with the shares sitting nearer the bottom of their yearly range than the top, and investors looking for a clean catalyst to steady sentiment.

Shell stock: buyback questions linger after Q4 chemicals warning, shares bounce back

London, Jan 10, 2026, 07:58 GMT — Market closed Shell (SHEL.L) said its Chemicals and Products segment is expected to be below break-even in the fourth quarter, as its indicative chemicals margin drops to $140 a tonne and trading and optimisation falls from the previous quarter. It expects an indicative refining margin of $14 a barrel, kept its production outlook within prior ranges — upstream at 1.84 million to 1.94 million boed (barrels of oil equivalent per day, a combined oil-and-gas measure) and LNG, or liquefied natural gas, liquefaction at 7.5 million to 7.9 million tonnes — and plans to

Wilmar International stock heads into Monday as Indonesia levy talk and food prices reset the lens

Wilmar International stock heads into Monday as Indonesia levy talk and food prices reset the lens

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:47 SGT — Market closed Wilmar International Limited (SGX: F34) shares edged up 0.3% to S$3.11 at Friday’s close, with the Singapore market shut for the weekend and traders recalibrating around fresh policy noise out of Indonesia. (Yahoo Finance) The timing matters. Wilmar sits across the edible oils chain, so policy tweaks that hit palm oil trade can ripple into prices and volumes, then into what the group earns from processing and trading. There is also a softer tone in the broader food inflation picture. Investors are getting a reminder that end-demand can cool even when

BAE Systems share price ends week higher as Trump defence-budget call lifts European defence stocks

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:04 GMT — Market closed BAE Systems shares ended the week firmer after a sharp two-day run that left the stock close to recent highs. The stock closed at 2,053 pence on Friday, up 1.48%, after rising 5.04% on Thursday. (Yahoo Finance) The move has tracked a wider bid for defence names after U.S. President Donald Trump called for a steep rise in U.S. military spending and floated limits on dividends and share buybacks — when a company repurchases its own stock — unless contractors speed up weapons output. “Geopolitics is the inescapable story of 2026

Sembcorp Industries stock dips as Sprng Energy bid talk resurfaces; Alinta vote nears

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:29 (SGT) — Market closed Sembcorp Industries Ltd shares (U96.SI) closed at S$5.99 on Friday, down 0.66%, after a media report linked the Singapore-listed utility to a bidding race for Shell’s Indian renewable energy platform Sprng Energy. The stock has now slipped for two straight sessions. (VCCircle) The timing matters. Sembcorp is heading into a shareholder vote window for its planned purchase of Australia’s Alinta Energy — a deal that would be paid in cash and would widen the group’s exposure to regulated power and fuel markets outside Singapore. The Economic Times reported that Sembcorp, U.S.

IRS tax refund delays? Watchdog flags staffing crunch as 2026 filing season ramps up

7 February 2026
IRS staffing has dropped to 2021 levels as the 2026 tax filing season begins, according to a Treasury watchdog. The agency faces a backlog of about 2 million returns, 129% above pre-pandemic levels. Most e-filers using direct deposit still get refunds within 21 days, but paper filings and amended returns could see delays. The IRS lowered its call-answer target to 70% for this season.
