UWMC stock leaps on Trump’s $200bn mortgage-bond order — what to watch next week

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 19:26 ET — Market closed UWM Holdings Corporation (UWMC) shares climbed 13.8% on Friday, closing at $5.36—their best day in months. Traders targeted rate-sensitive housing stocks ahead of the weekend. Volume surged, with roughly 49.6 million shares changing hands. (Yahoo Finance) This spike is crucial since mortgage lenders rely heavily on volume. When borrowing costs drop, refinancing and purchase activity often surge quickly, driving fee income upward. That’s the missing link. Although rates have dropped from last year’s peaks, housing turnover remains sluggish. Originators are scrambling for market share, sometimes slashing loan prices just to

NuScale Power stock jumps on BofA upgrade as Meta nuclear deals set up the week ahead

New York, January 10, 2026, 19:14 EST — Market closed NuScale Power Corp shares jumped 4.3% Friday, closing at $20.51, after Bank of America upgraded the small nuclear-reactor developer. The upgrade reignited trader interest ahead of next week. Intraday, the stock fluctuated between $19.74 and $22.49. The timing is key since “SMR” stocks have been behaving more like a thematic play than a story grounded in fundamentals, with investors tying nuclear power to surging data center demand. When the trade gains momentum, smaller, higher-beta names like NuScale can swing sharply both ways. NuScale’s news stream slowed down heading into the

BigBear.ai stock in focus after Patriots-Kraft deal as note conversion deadline nears

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:44 EST — Market closed Shares of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (BBAI) ticked up Friday following news of a deal with the Kraft Group and the New England Patriots. The stock climbed roughly 0.6%, settling near $6.20. Fresh customer news is crucial for a small, volatile AI contractor like BigBear.ai.

Opendoor stock jumps on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage bond plan; what investors watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:39 EST — Market closed Opendoor Technologies Inc shares jumped 13.2% on Friday, closing at $7.29. The rally followed President Donald Trump’s directive to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds aimed at lowering borrowing costs. The stock swung between $6.82 and $7.91, with roughly 167 million shares changing hands. This matters now since Opendoor’s business depends on housing turnover, which has been hit hard by soaring mortgage rates. Investors are quick to jump on anything hinting at rate cuts, often before the specifics are clear. Opendoor uses an “iBuyer” model, snapping up homes directly to

Rocket Companies stock (RKT) jumps on Trump’s $200B mortgage-bond move — what to watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:43 ET — Market closed. Shares of Rocket Companies, Inc soared 9.6% on Friday, closing at $23.29 after hitting an intraday high of $23.41. Investors rushed into mortgage lenders following new signs that Washington aims to push home-loan rates down. This matters because Rocket’s main operation—originating home loans via Rocket Mortgage—often shifts with interest rates. When borrowing costs drop, refinancing and buying activity generally rise, sparking competition among lenders for volume. The sensitivity has resurfaced amid renewed pressure from policymakers on housing affordability. Although mortgage rates have dropped from their peaks last year, they remain

The jump matters now because it reignites debate over whether Ford can convert driver-assistance and software into more reliable profit, just as investors reassess the outlook for rates and consumer demand.
