FTSE 100 Live: London Takeover Targets Getting Bids at Huge Premiums
UK assets have struggled for direction, leaving much of the focus on two takeover offers in London and the questions they raise about the health of the market. Here's what happened today: Semiconductor firm Alphawave agreed to be bought by US chip giant Qualcomm, and precision instruments maker Spectris has received an approach from private equity house Advent. Both of the deals are pitched at massive premiums, indicating that a chasm remains between how much a potential buyer thinks a London-listed company is worth and the value the market ascribes to it. The Alphawave deal also means yet another tech stock will disappear from London. A dearth of high-growth names is a big reason that investors have struggled to build enthusiasm for the UK's benchmarks. And those domestic investors aren't coming back to the UK in the way they are in Europe. Escaping that vicious cycle will be tricky. Elsewhere, ad giant WPP's CEO will leave at the end of the year, with the group's shares languishing as the worst performers in the FTSE 100 in 2025. Diageo is benefiting from a good mood in European booze stocks. And BP getting bought by a rival looks unlikely right now. That's all from us for now.

Banking Groups Urge US Treasury to Improve Security After Email Hack
(Bloomberg) -- Financial-sector trade groups are urging the US Treasury Department to bolster its cybersecurity in response to hackers intercepting the sensitive emails of more than 100 bank regulators for more than a year. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico In a letter sent Monday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the associations urged federal regulators to strengthen their data-protection standards and inform organizations they oversee about security breaches affecting their data within three days. They also suggested that regulators stop requiring banks and other financial institutions to submit sensitive information through online portals or email. The American Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, Managed Funds Association and Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association signed the letter. 'We are deeply concerned about the cybersecurity risk management practices at federal regulatory agencies, and the need for critical reforms to ensure the supervisory process does not introduce unnecessary risk to firms through regulators' own security weaknesses,' the groups said in the letter, which was reviewed by Bloomberg News. The letter to Bessent comes two months after Bloomberg News first reported that hackers had spied on the email inboxes of employees of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, accessing roughly 150,000 emails. An official with the OCC, an independent bureau of Treasury, concluded in a letter informing Congress of the breach that 'the highly sensitive bank information contained in the emails and attachments is likely to result in demonstrable harm to public confidence.' Representatives for the Treasury Department and OCC didn't immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the letter. The hackers, who have not been publicly identified, got in by exploiting an administrative account that lacked a basic cybersecurity protection, Bloomberg previously reported. The OCC previously declined to comment on the absence of the multifactor-authentication safeguard. 'It is imperative that federal regulators recognize that they are equally a target of malicious actors and implement the same or substantially similar cybersecurity and incident response practices that they expect financial institutions to maintain,' the groups said in the letter. After the breach became public, some of America's biggest banks took the remarkable step of limiting the sharing of information with their regulator, Bloomberg previously reported. As well as standard financial information, the material banks regularly provide to the OCC includes reports about their cybersecurity protections, vulnerability assessments and even the content of National Security Letters which often include highly confidential information about terrorism, espionage and other investigations. The trade associations are now urging regulators to allow banks and other financial firms to retain such data on their own systems and have government inspectors examine the information via 'on-site review or on firm computers with security controls in place to limit downloading, copying or printing the information.' The Treasury suffered its own, separate breach last year. In December, the department revealed that Chinese state-sponsored hackers had gotten into their network through a third-party provider, giving them access to some unclassified documents and former Secretary Janet Yellen's computer. --With assistance from Hannah Levitt.

New Push to Reframe DEI in London Shifts Away from Diversity
A new study aims to reframe the global debate surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion in the City of London by focusing less on demographics and more on hiring people with diverse experiences. The report, published on Monday by the Diversity Project — which focuses on inclusion in the UK's investment and savings industry — shows that having a wider variety of perspectives, backgrounds and skills can boost performances of investment teams.
