Mining Shares Fall, Primark CEO Out, Aston Martin Gains | Stock Movers

On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Europe’s Stoxx 600 index slid 1.1%, with tariff-exposed mining, bank, and auto shares falling the most. European traders are arriving to a sea of red across global equity markets, with all eyes on US President Donald Trump and the fresh tariffs he is expected to unveil this week. Hopes for a more targeted approach from his administration were dashed over the weekend after he told reporters he plans to start his reciprocal levies push with “all countries.”

- Primark Chief Executive Officer Paul Marchant resigned following an investigation into an allegation about his behavior toward a female employee in a social environment. Associated British Foods Plc, the owner of the fashion chain, said Monday that Marchant accepts that his actions fell below the standards expected by the company and that he has apologized to the woman concerned.

- Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Plc expects to raise at least £125 million ($162 million) by selling more shares to Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll and its minority stake in the Formula One racing team. Stroll’s Yew Tree consortium is paying around £52.5 million to increase its stake in the struggling British carmaker to around 33%, the company said Monday. Yew Tree plans to acquire 75 million new shares at 70 pence apiece, a slight premium to Friday’s closing price.
