With Moutai, even minor tweaks in bottle allocation can quickly send ripples through the market. China’s stock market capped the week with a solid gain as the Shanghai Composite climbed 0.92% to

Novo Nordisk Class B stock rises after Amazon adds Wegovy pill — what to watch before earnings

Copenhagen, Jan 10, 2026, 20:43 CET — The market has closed. Novo Nordisk A/S Class B shares (NOVOb.CO) rose 3% on Friday after Amazon Pharmacy announced it had started selling the company’s Wegovy weight-loss pill, expanding availability for U.S. patients just days following the drug’s market debut. The Copenhagen-traded stock closed at 381.45 Danish crowns. (Reuters) The launch of Amazon’s new channel is crucial, as those initial weeks often shape prescription growth and pricing control.

AmEx (AXP) stock in focus after Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card rates

AmEx (AXP) stock in focus after Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card rates

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 14:40 EST — Market closed American Express shares enter Monday’s trading under pressure following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, starting Jan. 20. (Barron’s) This move hits at the heart of how the industry prices risk on revolving balances, usually expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR. Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, explained in an email that when firms can’t accurately price risk, they tend to slash credit lines or cut off credit altogether. He pointed out that credit cards are

China Construction Bank Class A stock dips — inflation and Vanke debt talk keep lenders on edge

SHANGHAI, Jan 11, 2026, 03:47 (GMT+8) — Market closed China Construction Bank Corporation’s Class A shares on the Shanghai exchange (601939.SS) fell 0.33% to 9.06 yuan Friday, narrowing the weekly drop to roughly 2%. Trading volume hit around 92.6 million shares, according to market data. (MarketScreener) That modest shift carries weight. Mainland bank shares find themselves caught between opposing pressures: policymakers pushing credit to boost growth, and the hit to earnings from lower interest rates. Banks thrive or falter based on their spread. While rate cuts can boost borrowing, they also narrow the net interest margin — the difference between

Hermes stock jumps above €2,200 — analyst trims target, annual results loom

Paris, Jan 10, 2026, 20:37 CET — Market closed Hermes International shares gained 3.7%, closing at 2,217 euros on Friday. The rally pushed the stock back above the 2,200-euro threshold during late trading in Paris. (MarketWatch) That’s significant since Hermes occupies the pricey top tier of Europe’s luxury sector. The stock reacts to even minor tweaks in growth expectations, not only major shocks. No new product launch or earnings update arrived this week. Instead, the spotlight was on a broker-led valuation reset and a standard disclosure about the company’s own-share trading practices. Hermes reported on Thursday that its liquidity contract

Toyota stock pops after electric Hilux reveal; yen and tariff risk back in focus

Toyota stock pops after electric Hilux reveal; yen and tariff risk back in focus

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 14:34 EST — Market closed Toyota Motor Corp’s U.S.-listed shares (TM) ended Friday up 3.2%, closing at $221.52. After hours, the ADR dipped 1.1% to $219.10. This change is notable because Toyota shares have begun acting like a stand-in for currency bets again. A weaker yen lifts overseas profits through translation into yen—long before it affects sales on dealer lots. Investors are demanding clearer timelines for battery-electric vehicle launches, but they don’t want Toyota to give up the solid margins it has built with hybrids. Pickups play a role in this strategy, even in places

Caterpillar stock gains after CES AI assistant push; CPI and earnings are next test

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 2:14 PM EST — Market closed Caterpillar Inc shares ended Friday higher after the heavy equipment maker pitched a new AI assistant and a broader automation push at CES in Las Vegas. The stock closed at $617.62, up 1.6%, with about 1.8 million shares traded. The timing matters because CES, which ran through Friday, has become a noisy showcase for companies trying to convince investors they can sell software and services alongside hardware.
