September 15, 2026 in numbers
RELX PLC (ISIN GB00B2B0DG97, LSE: REL) finished the last session at GBP 2,536.00 on the London Stock Exchange on September 15, 2026, losing 67.00 pence or 2.6% from the previous close. According to late trading data cited in a market wrap by AJ Bell, RELX was one of the larger fallers in the FTSE 100, closing down 67.00 pence at 2,536.00 pence on the day. The same report noted that software names including RELX and Experian gave back ground as broader UK equities softened ahead of upcoming interest rate decisions, with RELX declining more than 2% while the FTSE 100 index itself fell roughly 0.4% on September 15, 2026.
A separate closing snapshot from Sharecast also listed RELX among the FTSE 100 fallers on September 15, 2026, recording a close at 2,536.00 pence with a 2.57% daily loss as the index dropped in response to rising bond yields and higher oil prices. In that context, RELX underperformed the FTSE 100 on the day, with its roughly 2.6% decline exceeding the index’s move of about 0.4%, highlighting a relatively weaker session for the stock compared with the broader UK benchmark.
Today’s drivers and events
Today, RELX enters the new session following this underperformance versus the FTSE 100 and recent focus on interest rate expectations that weighed on UK equities on September 15, 2026, as described by AJ Bell. Broader market attention remains on upcoming decisions by major central banks, which can influence valuations for information and analytics groups such as RELX through their impact on bond markets and corporate spending. Investors also continue to watch company capital allocation moves, after a report on September 15, 2026 indicated that RELX had expanded its 2026 share buyback with additional treasury share purchases executed in a price range between 2,435 pence and 2,603 pence, according to The Globe and Mail. These ongoing repurchases frame the stock’s trading into today’s session alongside the wider backdrop of UK equity and bond market developments.
