Industry Context The FTSE 100 fell marginally at the open, influenced by a larger‑than‑expected rise in inflation that reinforced expectations of a forthcoming rate increase. Energy‑sector shares gained following the UK government’s approval for drilling in the Jackdaw gas field, benefiting operators such as Shell and Equinor. Commodity‑heavy names, including Fresnillo and Hochschild Mining, experienced modest declines due to production reports and falling gold prices.
Additional Corporate Updates
Gelion Plc released its final annual results for the year ended 30 June 2026. Income rose modestly, largely due to government grants and R&D tax incentives. Operating losses widened slightly, reflecting continued investment in technology development. Cash and equivalents more than doubled, with no debt recorded. An equity raise improved liquidity. Governance changes appointed Matt Wood as Chief Executive, John Wood as Senior Advisor, and Professor Rachid Yazami as Technology Advisor. Strategic partnerships with TDK, Nissan, Qinetiq, and the National Laboratory of the Rockies were strengthened, and an exclusive licence for cathode intellectual property was secured from Max Planck.
