IG Group (IGG): news on Saturday 31 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 31 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was mainly about a login outage that locked IG clients out for nearly three hours, which weighs on its reputation. A minor board appointment story offered only a small offset.
What drove it
- platform outage
- board appointment
