Century Communities stock jumps 11% on Trump mortgage-bond order — what to watch before Monday

New York, January 10, 2026, 19:57 EST — Market closed. Century Communities, Inc. shares closed up 10.7% at $68.33 on Friday, their biggest daily rise in months, as housing-linked stocks rallied after President Donald Trump said he was ordering $200 billion in mortgage bond purchases aimed at lowering housing costs. U.S. markets are closed this weekend. (Reuters) The jump matters because homebuilders swing with mortgage rates, and the policy signal hit just as traders try to pin down the next leg for yields and housing demand.

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 21:06 (EST) — Market closed Shares of Louisiana-Pacific surged roughly 9% on Friday, closing at $92.05, as buyers targeted housing-related stocks amid renewed optimism over falling mortgage rates. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, Monday will reveal if the rally can hold.

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 21:15 EST — Market closed. Shares of Oddity Tech Ltd fell 8.0% to close at $35.42 on Friday, dipping as low as $35.32 earlier in the session. The drop came as investors digested another round of lowered forecasts from Wall Street. (ODDITY) This shift matters as we head into the new week because Oddity now acts as a key sentiment barometer for online beauty stocks: once price targets drop, the conversation rapidly pivots from growth prospects to valuation concerns.

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 21:10 EST — Market closed. Shares of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) ended Friday at $113.70, gaining 9.3% after fluctuating between $104.65 and $115.45. The stock has surged roughly 43% since closing on Jan. 2, with about 6 million shares changing hands Friday.

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 21:01 EST — Market closed. Fluence Energy shares jumped 9.5% on Friday to close at $23.20, after trading as high as $23.39 during the session. The stock was last at $23.30 in after-hours trade. (StockAnalysis) The outsize move put the battery-storage name in the slipstream of a broader rally that pushed the S&P 500 to a record close, as a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report did little to dent expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at
