News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 24 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
Most coverage concerned Standard Chartered's agreed purchase of Zodia Custody and related crypto reports, which lean positive. Mildly favourable background came from the bank's sponsorship of the Nairobi marathon and of a business summit staged by F1, plus community initiatives run by its staff.
What drove it
- Zodia Custody deal
- crypto activity
- F1 and marathon sponsorship
