Producer Price Index data for December exceeded expectations, intensifying concerns about inflation. Mixed Fed comments highlighted uncertainty about future monetary policy. Meanwhile, a tentative deal in Congress aims to prevent a government shutdown, providing some relief. The complexity of these events underpinned Friday's cautious market sentiment heading into Q4 earnings season.

Natural Gas Prices Surge Amid Cold US Weather and Supply Constraints
January 31, 2026, 3:08 AM EST. March Nymex natural gas prices surged 11.13% on Friday, driven by a persistent Arctic cold blast across the US boosting heating demand. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a larger-than-expected 242 billion cubic feet (bcf) draw in gas storage. Despite prices rallying, they remain below the 3-year nearest-futures high set earlier in the week. US natural gas production has been disrupted by freeze-ups, reducing output by about 15% temporarily, while dry gas demand on Friday reached 128.7 bcf/day, up 38.4% year-on-year. Forecasts indicate continued below-normal temperatures through early February, supporting further demand and elevated prices. However, US electricity output fell 6.3% year-on-year last week, a modest bearish signal. Overall, tight supply and harsh weather are underpinning strong natural gas market dynamics.
Crude Oil Prices Slip as Trump Reduces Iran Tensions, OPEC+ Plans Production Pause
January 31, 2026, 3:07 AM EST. Crude oil prices fell on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump cooled down war talk with Iran, easing fears of an immediate military strike. March WTI crude declined 0.32%, while gasoline rose 0.36%, supported by OPEC+ plans to pause production hikes in early 2026 amid a growing global oil surplus. The stronger U.S. dollar also weighed on crude. Analysts noted risks from ongoing Russia-Ukraine tensions, which keep restrictions on Russian crude in place, supporting oil prices. The International Energy Agency lowered its 2026 global crude surplus forecast, while the U.S. Energy Information Administration adjusted production and consumption estimates. OPEC's December output nudged up, with the group expected to maintain steady production at its upcoming meeting. The situation remains fluid, with geopolitical developments continuing to influence market sentiment.
Rising Institutional Stakes in CSL Amid Seqirus Uncertainty
January 31, 2026, 3:06 AM EST. Vanguard has increased its voting stake in CSL to 6% ahead of the firm's half-year results, signaling growing institutional interest despite challenges in CSL's Seqirus vaccines division. The U.S. flu shot demand slump and delayed spin-off of Seqirus remain key risks investors watch closely. CSL shares have gained but trade roughly 39% below some fair value estimates, highlighting wide market views on the company's case. Deutsche Bank's appointment as ADR depositary bank from 2026 underscores ongoing structural shifts. The upcoming results and interim dividend release in February are set to clarify CSL's plasma margin trajectory and response to Seqirus headwinds. Vanguard's stake hike shines a light on the company's strategic path but does not alter core fundamentals, leaving CSL's outlook contingent on execution amid vaccine market pressures.
Sugar Prices Drop as Global Surpluses Expected to Grow in 2025/26
January 31, 2026, 3:05 AM EST.Sugar prices fell sharply with March New York sugar down 2.99% to a 2.5-month low and London white sugar off 1.55% to a 5-year low. Analysts forecast expanding global sugar surpluses, with Green Pool and StoneX spotting a surplus near 2.7-2.9 million tonnes (MMT) for the 2025/26 season. Brazil's 2025-26 sugar output is up 0.9% to 40.2 MMT. India's production jumped 18.8% to 31 MMT, with reduced ethanol use potentially freeing more sugar for export. India may allow extra exports to ease a domestic supply glut. Covrig Analytics sees the surplus peaking at 4.7 MMT before falling in 2026/27. Brazil's output forecast cuts and export declines could support future prices. The market navigates a bearish outlook amid ample supply and improving export prospects from key producers.

January 31, 2026, 3:02 AM EST. Keppel Ltd shares fell 1.35% to S$10.93 on Friday, underperforming the Singapore market as traders brace for its full-year 2025 results due Feb 5. The broader Singapore Exchange declined 0.5%, pressured by Wall Street losses and bank shares. Investor attention centers on Keppel's data-centre assets, highlighted by Keppel DC REIT's record 55.2% jump in distributable income, driven by power capacity gains critical for AI workloads. Market watchers seek details on capital recycling, earnings stability, and management guidance amid cautious deal activity and potential risks from global yield spikes. The stock faces pressure if operating momentum slows or forecasts turn pessimistic. Trading resumes Monday before the awaited earnings release.
SGX Shares Dip as Exchange Proposes Broker Custody Changes Ahead of Earnings
January 31, 2026, 3:01 AM EST. Shares of Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX) fell 0.17% to S$17.63 on Friday amid a market close before the weekend. SGX Regulation launched a consultation to expand broker custody accounts to include pooled 'omnibus' structures, aligning with global norms and potentially attracting international asset managers. The consultation runs until March 27. Investors can still hold shares directly via The Central Depository (CDP). The changes come days before SGX's half-year earnings release on Feb. 5. Analysts note the potential for increased turnover if more investors use brokers' omnibus accounts, but caution over data protection and cybersecurity risks. Meanwhile, macroeconomic factors, including hawkish inflation signals from Singapore's central bank, add pressure as investors await further clarity.
India Market Volatility Surges Ahead of Budget as Nifty 50 Dips
January 31, 2026, 3:00 AM EST. Indian stocks have swung from record calm to heightened volatility, with the NSE Volatility Index rising sharply since December. The Nifty 50 index has fallen over 3% this year, making India one of the world's worst-performing markets. Rising volatility is linked to increased hedging, foreign investor outflows totaling $3.5 billion this month, and mixed earnings reports. Traders are concerned about persistently high valuations and limited exposure to the AI boom. The upcoming national budget on Feb 1 and factors like the weak rupee, rising oil prices, and geopolitical tensions-including stalled U.S. trade talks-are intensifying caution. Analysts see current turbulence as a portfolio reset rather than a fundamental shift, but note that heightened bond yields in Japan could prompt further capital outflows from Indian equities.

January 31, 2026, 2:48 AM EST. Shares of Estée Lauder Companies (EL) hover around $115 after a 40.6% gain over the past year, recovering from a 54.8% drop over three years. Despite mixed recent price action, valuation models indicate the stock is near fair value. Simply Wall St's Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates intrinsic value at about $110 per share, suggesting EL is roughly 4.8% overvalued-within an acceptable margin for many investors. However, the company's valuation scores zero on all six of Simply Wall St's undervaluation checks. Investors should weigh strong recent returns against long-term setbacks and continue monitoring for changes that could impact EL's outlook.

Marcus & Millichap (MMI) shares rose 0.8% in one day but are down roughly 27.7% over the past year, reflecting mixed investor sentiment amid commercial real estate uncertainties. The stock recently gained 2.5% over the week but has declined about 6.9% over three months. Trading at $27.20, MMI appears about 9.3% undervalued against a $30 fair value based on earnings and growth prospects fueled by increased institutional activity and better lending conditions. However, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis suggests the share price is significantly higher than future cash flow estimates, highlighting downside risks if cash generation falters. Investors face a choice between optimism in revenue growth and multiple expansion versus caution over current losses and cash flow challenges.

January 31, 2026, 2:45 AM EST. Jardine Matheson Holdings' Singapore-listed shares fell 0.6% to $72.77 on Friday after repurchasing 60,000 shares for cancellation on Jan. 30.

Jardine, a diversified Asian holding company with stakes in property, retail, and autos, relies on buybacks to support its stock amid uncertain market conditions and shifting risk appetite. The stocks trade 4.6% below this month's record close amid global market volatility following key U.S. Federal Reserve nominations and inflation data.

Investors are cautious as global interest rate shifts and Singapore's inflation outlook evolve. Key upcoming data includes Singapore's PMI on Feb. 2 and the U.S. jobs report on Feb. 6. Singtel's recent 14% rise in underlying profit and an interim dividend boost highlight growth, supported by its Nxera unit's projected 20% annual EBITDA growth. The company is executing a S$2 billion share buyback and a S$9 billion asset recycling plan to enhance returns. Talks with KKR to acquire ST Telemedia Global Data Centres continue amid competition pressures impacting Singapore mobile revenue, which fell 9.7%.
John Deere Expands U.S. Manufacturing with New Plants, Boosting Valuation Prospects
January 31, 2026, 2:29 AM EST. John Deere (NYSE:DE) is set to build a large excavator plant in North Carolina and a distribution center in Indiana, shifting excavator production from Japan to the U.S. This move supports stronger demand and aligns with Deere's focus on heavy equipment and construction machinery. The expansion could lower costs and improve supply chain resilience but also raises concerns as Deere's debt coverage by operating cash flow is weak. Deere trades near its $528 analyst target but is estimated at 17.6% below fair value, signaling potential upside. Investors should monitor capital spending, plant utilization, and cash flow closely to assess impacts on margins and returns amid this manufacturing shift.

RHB Bank raised its target price to S$10.70, citing the stock's value compared to global defence peers. Despite market volatility and a 0.5% drop in Singapore's Straits Times Index, investors focus on ST Engineering's upcoming full-year results on Feb. 27 to confirm profitability from new contracts. Analysts caution delivery timing and project types could affect quarterly earnings outcomes.

January 31, 2026, 2:12 AM EST. Allison Transmission Holdings (ALSN) shares closed at $108.70, showing a strong 146.5% gain over three years but a 6.4% decline in the last 12 months. Recent investor focus is on its position in the capital goods sector and comparative valuation versus peers. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis by Simply Wall St estimates an intrinsic share value around $256.15, suggesting the stock is 57.6% undervalued. The DCF model forecasts free cash flow rising from $653.7 million to $1.18 billion by 2029, underpinning this valuation gap.

Joby Aviation Stock: High Risk Meets High Reward in eVTOL Market
January 31, 2026, 1:59 AM EST. Joby Aviation, a leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, offers significant upside due to its advanced FAA certification stage and integrated business model aiming to operate its own air taxi services. However, the stock carries substantial risks including certification uncertainty, heavy capital requirements leading to potential shareholder dilution, and competition from Boeing's autonomous eVTOL subsidiary Wisk, which could disrupt pricing. With a market cap around $9.6 billion and expected cash burn reaching $646 million in 2026, investors face a complex risk/reward profile. Joby's strategy contrasts with Archer Aviation, which focuses on aircraft sales. The stock's future hinges on successful certification and early commercial deployment in a nascent but potentially lucrative market.

Despite Friday gains, the dollar remains under pressure from political polarization, deficit concerns, and expectations of future rate cuts. The euro fell nearly 1% against the dollar amid these developments, while precious metals plummeted on the stronger greenback.

Software Stocks Dive Amid AI Concerns: Warning or Buying Chance?
January 31, 2026, 1:10 AM EST. Software stocks faced a sharp decline in January, with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) dropping 16%. Major players like Microsoft, Palantir, and ServiceNow have seen significant price drops.

Despite this, these companies continue to report solid growth and guidance. Valuations remain high, with ServiceNow trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 70 even after a 50% decline. This contrasts with semiconductor stocks like Nvidia, which offer faster growth at lower valuations.
