Rio Tinto stock closed at USD 97.64 on the New York market on September 14, 2026, losing 2.32% from the prior session based on exchange data cited by Yahoo Finance.

September 14, 2026 in numbers

Rio Tinto Group plc (ISIN GB0007188757) saw its New York-listed shares finish at USD 97.64 on September 14, 2026, down 2.32% on the day, according to closing figures reported by Yahoo Finance for the Rio Tinto Group quote page. The source lists a prior close of USD 99.96, implying a decline of USD 2.32 over the session and confirming the percentage move. The same data set indicates an intraday trading range where the low was below USD 97.64 and the high was above that level, keeping the close within the day’s extremes, while volume on the New York line reflected active trading compared with recent sessions.

In London, Rio Tinto’s primary listing traded in pounds sterling, with recent market data showing the stock around the 7,147 pence level in a session where it moved between approximately 7,221 pence and 7,061 pence and registered an estimated 2.57 million shares of volume, per the latest equity overview at Investing.com. Although the precise date reference in that table relates to the most recent completed session this week, the figures confirm that the London line has also been under pressure, with a day-on-day percentage change close to negative 0.83% in that session. The New York move of negative 2.32% on September 14, 2026 therefore represents a steeper decline than the corresponding percentage change seen in the London market around the same time frame, underscoring stronger selling in the United States relative to the United Kingdom.

Dividend focus today
