Amazon stock forecast 2026: Analysts map 20%-plus upside for AMZN as cloud spending comes under scrutinyNEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:56 ET

Amazon stock forecast 2026: Analysts map 20%-plus upside for AMZN as cloud spending comes under scrutinyNEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:56 ET

Amazon.com (AMZN.O) enters 2026 with Wall Street still penciling in double-digit gains, with analysts tracked by StockAnalysis.com setting an average 12-month price target of $284.70 — a forecast of about 23% upside from the stock’s Dec. 31 close. The same dataset shows analysts expecting fiscal 2026 revenue of $811.23 billion and earnings per share (EPS), a measure of profit per share, of $8.11. StockAnalysis The projections matter now because investors are shifting from the “build it” phase of artificial intelligence to the “prove it” phase. The core question for Amazon in 2026 is how quickly its biggest profit drivers can

Oil price forecast 2026: Brent eyed near $55 early as supply glut tests OPEC+ resolve

Oil price forecast 2026: Brent eyed near $55 early as supply glut tests OPEC+ resolve

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:08 ET Brent crude is expected to slide toward $55 a barrel in early 2026 as analysts warn that supply will outpace demand after oil posted its steepest annual fall since 2020. The forecast matters as governments and central banks start the year watching energy costs for inflation, while producers weigh drilling plans and hedging strategies for 2026. Traders are also looking to OPEC+ for direction ahead of a January 4 meeting, with the group’s next policy move seen as pivotal if prices drift into the low $50s. Brent futures settled at $60.85 a barrel

XRP price forecast 2026: Standard Chartered’s $8 call meets a $1.87 market as ETF flows stay in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:31 ET Standard Chartered’s projection that XRP could reach $8 by the end of 2026 has returned to the center of crypto market debate as the token traded around $1.87 on Thursday. FXEmpire The forecast matters now because the route many institutions use to buy crypto is changing. Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — listed products designed to track an asset — are giving investors a regulated way to gain exposure to tokens such as XRP. FXEmpire+1 That shift is forcing traders to weigh longer-dated price targets against near-term liquidity and positioning as 2026 begins. FXEmpire

Big Tech stocks 2026 forecast: Nvidia’s China chip rush sets the first test for AI leaders

Big Tech stocks 2026 forecast: Nvidia’s China chip rush sets the first test for AI leaders

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:07 ET Nvidia has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to ramp up production of its H200 artificial intelligence chips as Chinese technology companies place large orders for 2026, sources told Reuters. The push puts AI chip supply — and the politics around who gets it — back at the center of the 2026 outlook for Big Tech stocks. Reuters The year begins after U.S. stocks posted another strong run in 2025, a period dominated by President Donald Trump’s tariff uncertainty and a rush into AI-related shares. The S&P 500 gained 16.39% in 2025 and the

2026 Natural Gas Price Forecast: Banks Trim Price Decks, EIA Sees $4 Henry Hub

2026 Natural Gas Price Forecast: Banks Trim Price Decks, EIA Sees $4 Henry Hub

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:17 ET Banks that lend to the U.S. oil and gas industry trimmed their 2026 natural gas price deck to $3.43 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a standard unit of heat energy, down from $3.54 in the spring, a Haynes Boone survey of 29 lenders showed. The survey also lowered the 2026 oil assumption to $55.44 a barrel and put a downside gas case at $2.79/mmBtu. MRT Those assumptions feed directly into borrowing bases and spending plans at producers as they lock in hedges and set drilling budgets for 2026. Even small shifts in

EV Stocks 2026 Forecast: China Tightens Incentives as BYD Growth Cools

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:07 ET China has tightened its 2026 “cash-for-clunkers” trade-in subsidies for “new energy vehicles” — a policy term for electric cars and hybrids — by linking the maximum rebate to higher-priced models, according to a Commerce Ministry document. “The revised 2026 vehicle trade-in subsidy programmes will reduce support for mid-to-low-priced vehicles under 150,000 yuan,” Deutsche Bank analyst Bin Wang wrote in a note.

Silver price forecast 2026: What comes next after the $80 breakout and 161% surge

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:16 ET Silver’s record 2025 rally has reset the starting point for the 2026 silver price forecast, after the metal rose 161% and broke the $80-per-ounce mark for the first time. Gold climbed 66% and copper hit an all-time high of $12,960 a tonne on the London Metal Exchange, keeping metals in focus as traders map the next move. “Demand for metals is looking solid from both an industrial and retail perspective,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

ASX 200 forecast for 2026: Rate-hike bets return as strategists split on Australia stocks

ASX 200 forecast for 2026: Rate-hike bets return as strategists split on Australia stocks

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:09 ET Australia’s benchmark S&P/ASX 200 is entering 2026 more than 4% below its Oct. 21 record after a late-year pullback that followed a shift from rate-cut expectations to probable hikes. The market still delivered a 6.8% return in 2025, and two of Australia’s four big banks expect a rate increase at the central bank’s first meeting in early February, The Guardian reported. That matters now because Australia’s share market leans heavily on banks and miners, and interest-rate expectations feed directly into how investors value dividends and future profits. Higher rates typically lift funding costs

AI Stocks 2026 Forecast: Nvidia’s China Chip Rush Meets a Tougher Wall Street Test

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:05 ET Nvidia has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to ramp up production of its H200 artificial intelligence chips after Chinese technology companies ordered more than 2 million units for 2026, sources told Reuters. The company holds about 700,000 units in inventory and expects TSMC to start work on expanded output in the second quarter of 2026, the sources said.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:07 ET Britain’s FTSE 100 heads into 2026 near a record after posting its strongest annual gain in 16 years, raising the stakes for London stocks in the year ahead. The blue-chip index slipped 0.2% on the final session of 2025, a day after closing at an all-time high.  Reuters The timing matters because investors are resetting positions at the start of the year after a sharp run-up in UK equities.

Night sky tonight: NOAA issues geomagnetic storm watch for New Year’s weekend as supermoon nears

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:46 ET The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued geomagnetic storm watches through Saturday after several solar eruptions, a setup that can strengthen the northern lights over parts of North America. NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center The timing matters because the first nights of 2026 coincide with a burst of solar activity that can ripple from the sky to critical infrastructure. Geomagnetic storms can push aurora farther from the poles and also stress systems that rely on radio and satellite links. For the public, the payoff is a chance — not a guarantee —

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:40 ET After three straight years of double-digit gains, U.S. stocks enter 2026 with strategists saying profit growth and the path for interest rates will decide whether the rally can extend. For another year of outsized returns, markets need “everything firing on all cylinders,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, who put his end-2026 target for the S&P 500 at 7,400, about 8% above current levels. Tajinder Dhillon, head of earnings research at LSEG, said S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise more than 15% in 2026 after about 13% in 2025, while
