UK Penny Stocks To Watch In June 2025
The UK market has been experiencing some turbulence, with the FTSE 100 index recently closing lower due to weak trade data from China, highlighting global economic interdependencies. In such a climate, investors often seek out opportunities that might not be immediately obvious, turning their attention to penny stocks—an investment area that remains relevant despite its somewhat outdated label. These smaller or newer companies can offer unique value propositions and growth potential when supported by strong financials, making them intriguing options for those looking to uncover hidden opportunities in the market.

Real Madrid Will Pull Off This Genius Free Transfer
Real Madrid is set to pull off what could prove to be a genius free transfer according to Mundo ... More Deportivo, which cited anonymous sources. Real Madrid is set to pull off what could prove to be a genius free transfer according to Mundo Deportivo, which cited anonymous sources. President Florentino Perez has acted swiftly following a trophyless season in terms of major silverware, as bitter rival FC Barcelona swept a domestic treble in Spain. His first port of call was replacing head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who now oversees the Brazil national team, and replacing him with one of the game's most hyped young managers in Xabi Alonso. On the weekend that the 2024/2025 La Liga campaign drew to a close, Madrid then announced that it had activated Spain international Dean Huijsen's £50 million release clause at Bournemouth. This was Madrid's first piece of business in the transfer market, which was quickly followed by paying €10 million to get Trent Alexander-Arnold out of an expiring Liverpool contract earlier than June 30 so that he can play the World Club Cup in the United States. The newly-reimagined FIFA tournament with huge prize money on offer is one that Argentine wonderkid Franco Mastantuono is expected to play for his boyhood club River Plate. After the competition, however, he should then cross the Atlantic and complete his transfer to Real Madrid after Los Blancos came out of nowhere and renewed interest in the whiz kid at a time when Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City appeared to be the frontrunners for his capture. To cap off a week where a delegation travelled Madrid looks set to pay the youngster's $51.5 million (€45 million) release clause after reaching an agreement with both the player and his current employer. Aged just 17, Mastantuono is a punt for the future alongside Endrick and Arda Guler. But Perez isn't done there in playing the long game, and while those mentioned three transfers around $170 million ($€147 million to be exact in euros), Perez is looking even further into the future and could have pulled off a major coup. This is because according to Mundo Deportivo, Ajax's Abdellah Ouazane will join Real Madrid's Castilla reserve team in July. Aged 16, he will do so at zero cost because the prodigy of Moroccan descent did not agree fresh terms with the Dutch club in what could prove to be another transfer market masterstroke.

Analysis-Aluminium producers in the US win from Trump's tariffs
By Pratima Desai LONDON (Reuters) -Century Aluminum, the largest primary aluminium producer in the U.S., and top recycler Matalco will be among the big winners from President Donald Trump's higher tariffs on imports of the metal as domestic prices surge, four industry sources said. However, some sector players are worried that Trump's move from June 4 to hike the tariffs to 50%, from 25%, could push prices so high that demand starts to weaken. Higher revenues for U.S. aluminium producers and recyclers are expected mainly due to the way the market prices the metal key for construction, power and packaging industries. The companies typically charge customers the London Metal Exchange aluminium price plus a physical market premium to cover other costs including freight and taxes. The so-called Midwest premium hit a record 62.5 U.S. cents a lb, or $1,377 a metric ton, on Friday. Since Trump was elected for his second term in November, it has surged nearly 190%. Consultancy Harbor Aluminum said the premium would have to rise to 70 cents a lb, or $1,543 a ton, to fully reflect the 50% tariff. Century, in which London-listed miner Glencore is the top shareholder with a stake of more than 40%, declined to comment beyond a statement it issued last week, in which it welcomed the 50% tariff. Century produced 690,000 metric tons of aluminium last year. Miner Rio Tinto, which owns a 50% stake in Matalco, declined to comment, speaking on behalf of the U.S. company, which produced 528,000 tons of recycled or secondary aluminium last year. U.S. imports of scrap aluminium remain free of tariffs, but aluminium recycling needs primary metal to maintain properties of alloys used to make industrial goods. UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES Alcoa, one of the world's largest aluminium producers, said its U.S. smelters would also benefit from the tariffs, and that its active production capacity in the United States totalled 291,000 tons. Alcoa's global aluminium output was 2.215 million tons last year. Constellium, which has a capacity to recycle 360,000 tons of aluminium annually in the United States, said it supported the original 25% tariff because it helped address unfair trading practices by non-market economies. "However, we are concerned that increasing the tariff beyond this level could have unintended consequences - potentially disrupting the aluminum supply chain and impacting demand," it added. Higher aluminium costs are likely to be passed on to consumers, which analysts expect will eventually hit demand. SCRAMBLE FOR SCRAP With its local primary aluminium industry in decline for years, the U.S. relies on imports of large amounts of unwrought aluminium and alloys - more than 3.9 million tons last year, according to U.S. government data. The U.S. produced more than four million tons of aluminium last year, most of it recycled material, according U.S. Geological Survey. Industry sources expect U.S. scrap aluminium imports to climb as recycling companies take advantage of high premiums to ramp up production. Already U.S. scrap aluminium imports have started to rise. Data from information provider Trade Data Monitor shows U.S. scrap aluminium imports rose more than 30% to 201,968 tons in the first quarter of this year from the same period in 2024. Traders said the high Midwest premium would allow recyclers to bid more for scrap than buyers outside the United States, as they can sell aluminium locally at a higher price. LME aluminium is trading around $2,500 a ton, while the duty-paid premium in Europe has dropped more than 50% to $170 a ton since January on expectations some global producers will divert primary metal to Europe to avoid U.S. tariffs.

Dutch investor Haerlem Capital tries to gatecrash sale of FX firm Argentex
A Dutch private equity investor is trying to gatecrash the emergency sale of Argentex Group, a London-listed currency management firm caught in the financial crossfire of Donald Trump's tariffs crusade. Sky News has learnt that Haerlem Capital has approached the board of Argentex with a proposal that would see it injecting £5m in exchange for a 50% stake in the company. Haerlem Capital has also offered to provide a £15m funding line to Argentex as part of the deal, according to people close to the situation. Money latest: Sources said the approach had been rebuffed because it was deemed unworkable in the context of a sale of the whole company, which has already been agreed to IFX Payments. Argentex shareholders are scheduled to vote on the IFX deal on Wednesday. In April, Argentex, whose clients include the FTSE 100 insurer Aviva, asset manager Barings, and Triumph Motorcycles, said it had been "exposed to significant volatility in foreign exchange rates, particularly in relation to the rapid devaluing of the US Dollar against other major benchmark currencies which has been precipitated by the various recent announcements from President Trump regarding tariff policies and US government spending cuts". The company was forced into emergency sale talks, with its board ultimately succeeding in securing a deal on a solvent basis - albeit at a steeply discounted price It announced late last month that it had drawn down £6.4m of a £20m revolving credit facility provided by IFX Payments. "These drawn amounts are in addition to the £10.5m secured bridging loan provided by IFX Payments and have been applied to ensure that the Company remains within its liquid assets threshold requirement (LATR) and to satisfy certain margin calls from its liquidity providers," it said. Argentex floated on London's junior AIM market in 2019, and counts Lord Jones, the former CBI boss, among its board members. Shares in the company, which recently resumed trading on the junior AIM stock market, were changing hands for about 2.5p on Monday morning, giving Argentex a market capitalisation of just under £3m. A spokesperson for Argentex declined to comment on the approach from Haerlem Capital.
