GitLab stock whipsaws: GTLB holds gains in premarket after 13% surge

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 05:04 ET — Premarket GitLab Inc shares (GTLB.O) ticked up slightly in premarket trading on Friday, building on a strong bounce that pushed the DevSecOps software company over 12% higher the day before. The stock hovered near $37.60, up roughly 0.5%. (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GTLB:NASDAQ?hl=en) The move is significant since GitLab has hovered near its lows, and Thursday’s late-session rebound came suddenly, even by recent measures. Traders will be looking to see if the bounce sticks when U.S. cash trading kicks off or if it’s just a brief pause after the drop. On Thursday, GitLab’s shares bounced sharply,

Meta stock steadies before the bell after a 5.7% pop — here’s what’s driving META now

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 04:47 EST — Premarket Meta Platforms shares slipped roughly 0.1% in premarket trading Friday, following a 5.7% rally the day before.

London, Jan 23, 2026, 09:20 GMT — Regular session Antofagasta plc shares slipped 0.6% to 3,495 pence by 0919 GMT, down 22 pence from yesterday’s close at 3,517p, according to LSE.co.uk data. London’s mining sector showed a mixed picture: Rio Tinto gained 0.3%, whereas Anglo American and Glencore both drifted lower. (lse.co.uk) Investors are weighing a potential regulatory boost in the U.S. against the volatile copper market. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly voted 214-208 to overturn a mining ban in northern Minnesota, a move that could breathe new life into Antofagasta’s Twin Metals project, which produces copper,

(Google) The UK’s biggest grocer often acts as a gauge for household budgets — yet it also behaves like a defensive stock when nerves hit the market. This tug-of-war is crucial now as investors debate if consumer spending is leveling off or simply moving online and toward essentials. Retail sales volumes rose 0.4% in December from November, the Office for National Statistics reported, defying

BP stock climbs in London as oil rebounds; buyback rolls on ahead of Feb. 10 results

London, Jan 23, 2026, 09:26 (GMT) — Regular session. BP PLC shares climbed 1.6% to 443.9 pence by 0910 GMT on Friday, regaining ground as oil prices stabilized following a turbulent week. The stock started the day at 439.8 pence, fluctuating between 438.8 and 444.7 pence, with roughly 2.1 million shares traded in early sessions. (lse.co.uk) The move is significant since BP often acts as a liquid stand-in for the oil price, which has been volatile amid geopolitical and supply news. In London, BP carries substantial weight in the FTSE 100, so even small shifts can ripple through the index.

London, Jan 23, 2026, 09:28 GMT — Regular session Anglo American plc shares inched higher on Friday, hovering near 3,350 pence—up roughly 0.2% from Thursday’s finish. The stock remained confined to the day’s range amid a volatile session that saw resource sector stocks trade in clusters. (Investing.com) For traders, the takeaway is clear. Anglo’s stock is once again tracking copper prices closely, and copper itself has been anything but calm lately. This is crucial now as investors weigh whether the recent copper rally reflects genuine supply constraints—tight inventories, sluggish mine restarts—or merely a fresh wave of speculative money chasing metals.

London, Jan 23, 2026, 09:20 GMT — Regular session Experian (EXPN.L) shares climbed 1.1% to 3,050 pence by 0920 GMT on Friday, aiming to end a four-day losing streak. The stock closed Thursday at 3,016 pence, following drops of 4.9% on Wednesday and 1.8% on Tuesday. (Investing.com) This matters because Experian plays a key role in consumer lending flows. When banks pull back or loosen credit, changes quickly appear in credit checks, mortgage inquiries, and fraud screening activity. The stock dropped to a 19-month low Wednesday after the company stuck to its full-year guidance. Investors zeroed in on several potential

Gold price today: Bullion snaps back toward $5,000 after Thursday dip — Delhi rates, MCX moves, and what’s driving it

BENGALURU, January 23, 2026, 14:39 IST Gold surged to a fresh record Friday, pulling silver and platinum up to their highest marks as safe-haven buying stayed firm. Spot gold ticked up 0.4% to $4,957.10 an ounce by 0536 GMT, after hitting a peak of $4,966.59. Kyle Rodda, analyst at Capital.com, linked the rally to a shaken “faith in the U.S. and its assets.” (Reuters) The snapback matters as sentiment flips fast. Investors rushed to adjust risk after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats on Greenland shook markets briefly before calming — a move now rippling through metals, stocks, and currencies.
