UMC stock jumps in New York ahead of earnings; what investors watch next

UMC stock jumps in New York ahead of earnings; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 15:37 EST — Regular session United Microelectronics Corp’s shares surged Monday, pushing its U.S.-listed stock higher ahead of quarterly results due later this week. This shift is significant since UMC serves as a bellwether for “mature-node” contract chipmaking — the older manufacturing processes powering autos, industrial equipment, and consumer gadgets. Its demand and pricing updates often send ripples through the second-tier foundry sector. UMC will release its fourth-quarter results on Jan. 28, giving investors a shorter wait than usual. The company plans a monthly sales update shortly after, on Feb. 5. (UMC) UMC’s American depositary

Almonty Industries stock jumps in New York as tungsten supply anxiety keeps building

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 14:54 EST — Regular session Shares of Almonty Industries Inc climbed roughly 6% to $11.79 in Monday afternoon trading, after hitting a high of $12.52 earlier. The Nasdaq-listed stock started the day at $11.89 and traded between $11.50 and $12.52.

China controls most of the mined output, while U.S. defense procurement rules have set a 2027 cutoff for some Chinese- and Russia-linked sources. That’s driving investors to seek alternatives.

New York, January 26, 2026, 15:00 (EST) — Regular session.

Buenaventura’s U.S.-listed shares typically swing harder than the metal itself, and traders are taking full advantage of that volatility. Gold shot above $5,100 an ounce on Monday, setting a fresh record as it gained about

Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) surges as silver hits record above $113 and traders brace for Fed week

New York, Jan 26, 2026, 13:25 EST — Regular session Sprott Physical Silver Trust jumped Monday, boosted by a strong silver rally that pulled new money into metal-backed ETFs. PSLV gained $4.35, about 13.1%, reaching $37.57 in midday trading in New York. The shift is notable, with silver reclaiming its place as a stress barometer.
