Nvidia stock dips after Reuters report on China H200 pay-upfront terms

Nvidia stock dips after Reuters report on China H200 pay-upfront terms

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:32 (EST) — Regular session Nvidia shares slipped 0.2% to $184.61 in morning trading on Friday after Reuters reported the AI-chip leader is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers for its H200 graphics processing units, or GPUs. The new terms leave customers no option to cancel, seek refunds or change configurations once orders are placed, two people briefed on the matter told Reuters. Chinese firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200s priced around $27,000 each, the report said, outstripping Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000 chips. (Reuters) The move puts the spotlight

Silver price snaps back, lifting SLV stock after U.S. jobs data; CPI is next test

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 EST — Regular session iShares Silver Trust shares jumped roughly 3.2% to $71.94 in Friday morning trading in New York, moving higher as silver prices strengthened. Other silver-related names saw gains as well—Global X Silver Miners ETF added around 1.5%, while First Majestic Silver climbed approximately 4.7%. Silver’s rebound is turning heads, after days of volatility driven by big rules-based trades and more investors rethinking U.S. rates. The annual “reshuffle” for the Bloomberg Commodity Index—known to prompt forced buying and selling of futures—has been cranking up the heat. Spot silver fell 3.2% to $75.64

Bitcoin price today: BTC steadies near $90,000 as Coinbase, Strategy stocks slide on Fed-rate rethink

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:12 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin was down 0.3% at $90,016 early Friday in the U.S., trading as low as $89,641 and topping out at $91,384. Ether lost 0.4% to $3,076. Shares of Coinbase slipped 2.7%. Strategy, the bitcoin-treasury firm, tumbled 4.9%, a steeper drop than the cryptocurrency itself. This pause is in focus as traders weigh the Fed’s next move following new U.S. numbers. Bitcoin’s fortunes often mirror shifts in risk appetite—and with no yield to offer, it tends to stall whenever rate expectations tilt toward higher-for-longer. Flows aren’t helping either.

Barrick Mining stock price ticks up as gold steadies; U.S. jobs data and Feb. 5 results loom

Barrick Mining stock price ticks up as gold steadies; U.S. jobs data and Feb. 5 results loom

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:06 EST — Regular session Barrick Mining shares rose 0.7% to $47.78 by 10:06 a.m. EST, as investors stayed parked in gold-linked names after a steep run in the metal. (StockAnalysis) The setup matters right now because gold trades are being driven as much by rates and the dollar as by demand for jewelry or bars. For miners, a small move in the gold price can change margins quickly, and the market has been jumpy. U.S. nonfarm payrolls — the Labor Department’s monthly snapshot of hiring — rose 50,000 in December, below forecasts, while the

Vistra stock jumps as Meta signs 20-year nuclear power deal for AI data centers

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 (EST) — Regular session Vistra Corp (VST) shares rose about 14.4% to $172.26 in morning trade on Friday after Meta Platforms said it signed 20-year agreements to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants. Oklo (OKLO), another partner named by Meta, climbed about 16%. (Reuters) The deals land as power availability turns into the constraint for U.S. data centers, not chips. Meta said the package of agreements could support up to 6.6 gigawatts of nuclear energy by 2035, including for its planned Prometheus data-center “supercluster” in Ohio.

Dow Jones flips positive after weak U.S. jobs print, with Supreme Court tariff call looming

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:03 EST — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 14.30 points, or 0.03%, to 49,280.41 by about 9:45 a.m. EST, after a choppy open. The S&P 500 rose 0.28% and the Nasdaq gained 0.29%. (Investing.com) The early move mattered less than the message from the jobs data: hiring looks soft enough to keep pressure off yields, but not so weak that it screams recession. With the Federal Reserve expected to pause this month after a run of rate cuts late last year, investors were trying to map out how much easing is

Meta stock ticks up as nuclear power deals aim to fuel AI data centers

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:01 (EST) — Regular session Meta Platforms (META.O) shares were up 0.1% on Friday after the Facebook owner announced nuclear power agreements aimed at locking in electricity for its growing AI data centers. Vistra (VST.N) climbed 14.6% and reactor developer Oklo (OKLO.N) gained 15.8%, while the Nasdaq 100-tracking Invesco QQQ ETF edged up 0.3%. The deals land as big tech companies chase long-term power supplies to keep up with demand from AI computing and new data centers, a shift that has started to lift U.S. electricity demand after years of flat growth.

Palantir stock drifts in early trade as tariff ruling looms and rate bets shift (PLTR)

Palantir stock drifts in early trade as tariff ruling looms and rate bets shift (PLTR)

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:35 ET — Regular session Palantir Technologies Inc. shares were down 0.2% at $176.54 in early trade on Friday, giving back a small part of Thursday’s drop as investors sized up fresh U.S. labor data and a looming Supreme Court decision on tariffs. The lack of a clean direction matters because Palantir has turned into a crowded wager on artificial intelligence spending, and those trades can swing on tiny changes in rates, policy and risk appetite. It also lands at an awkward time for growth stocks. Investors want falling rates, but they also want enough

Micron Technology stock drops early — what MU traders are watching after a $400 target

New York, January 9, 2026, 09:40 (EST) — Regular session. Micron Technology, Inc. shares fell about 3.7% to $327.02 in early trading on Friday, extending a pullback after a sharp run in memory-related stocks. The move followed a tech-heavy slide on Thursday, when the Nasdaq fell and the S&P 500 technology index dropped 1.5% as investors picked at AI-linked valuations. “While AI is still hot, there are going to be winners and losers,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. (Reuters) That matters for Micron because its rally has leaned on one theme: tight supply and rising

Amazon stock dips as Amazon Pharmacy adds Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, with $25 insured pricing

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Amazon Pharmacy said it now offers Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill through insurance plans and a cash-pay option, widening its push into prescription drugs as demand for weight-loss treatments spreads beyond injections. Eligible customers with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 for a one-month supply, while customers without insurance can buy the pill starting at $149 per month; U.S. regulators approved the 25-milligram semaglutide pill in December, the company said. Amazon.com shares were down 0.7% at $244.58 in early New York trade. The rollout matters because Amazon is trying

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 09:41 EST — Regular session Microsoft Corp. shares fell about 1.1% to $478.11 in early New York trading on Friday, after dipping to $475.01, as investors weighed fresh U.S. labor data and stayed cautious on megacap tech. The S&P 500 proxy SPY was little changed, while QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq 100, slipped about 0.6%. The stock’s early drop extends a choppy week for AI-linked large caps after Thursday’s tech-led slide.

Nvidia stock slips on China H200 uncertainty — here’s what traders watch next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:45 EST — Regular session Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares slipped 0.3% to $184.54 in early trade on Friday as investors weighed uncertainty around the company’s plan to restart shipments of its H200 artificial-intelligence chip to China. The China question matters because it is one of the few levers that can change Nvidia’s near-term volume outlook without a new product cycle. Any extra friction — export licenses, import approvals, or local purchasing rules — can show up fast in orders and delivery timing. U.S. rate expectations were also shifting after a weak jobs report showed payrolls rose

Singapore Airlines stock dips as supply-chain “new norm” raises cost focus before SGX reopens

7 February 2026
Singapore, Feb 7, 2026, 15:06 (SGT) — Market closed Singapore Airlines Ltd shares slipped on Friday, ending at S$6.70, as investors weighed fresh warnings that aircraft parts shortages are becoming a longer-running drag on airline costs. (Yahoo Finance) The pressure point is maintenance and reliability, not bookings. Executives at this week’s Singapore Airshow said supply delays have become a “new norm”, and Scoot chief executive Leslie Thng said the airline has had to “secure more spare engines at our own expense” to limit disruption. IATA said global passenger traffic in 2025 was about 9.3% above 2019 levels and forecast another
