SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, January 3, 2026, 10:05 ET San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport suspended most commercial flights operated by U.S. airlines on Saturday after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a temporary airspace restriction covering Puerto Rico following military activity in Venezuela, airport operator Aerostar said.

Maduro captured in U.S. strike; PDVSA oil facilities unscathed, sources say

CARACAS, January 3, 2026, 09:52 ET Venezuela’s state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) kept production and refining running on Saturday and saw no damage to its key facilities after a U.S. strike aimed at capturing President Nicolas Maduro, two people with knowledge of the operations said.  Reuters The status of PDVSA’s infrastructure matters for oil markets because Venezuela is a member of OPEC, the oil-producing group, and its exports have already been squeezed by U.S. pressure. A U.S. blockade on oil tankers and the seizure of two Venezuelan cargoes cut exports last month to about half of the

CARACAS, January 3, 2026, 07:16 ET U.S. forces struck targets in Venezuela early Saturday and President Donald Trump said President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country, a shock that deepens uncertainty for an economy still driven by oil exports.

Pfizer stock price rises into weekend as FDA priority review, TrumpRx discounts grab focus

7 February 2026
New York, February 7, 2026, 05:48 EST — Market closed Pfizer Inc (PFE) shares ended Friday up 2.8% at $27.22, after trading between $26.52 and $27.37. About 50.7 million shares changed hands. (Yahoo Finance) The stock’s late-week lift comes with a key regulatory clock running: the FDA granted priority review for Pfizer’s supplemental filing to broaden use of its hemophilia drug Hympavzi, with a target decision deadline in the second quarter. Priority review shortens the agency’s standard review timeline by four months. “There is a significant medical need for younger patients with hemophilia and for those who have developed inhibitors,”
