First Majestic Silver stock jumps 7% as silver rips to a fresh record — what investors watch next

First Majestic Silver stock jumps 7% as silver rips to a fresh record — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 14:12 (EST) — Regular session First Majestic Silver Corp’s shares climbed roughly 7% to close at $20.24 on Monday, gaining $1.33 amid a broader upswing in precious metals that boosted silver miners. Trading volume topped 20 million shares, with prices fluctuating between $19.70 and $20.60. Silver surged to a record $86.22 an ounce before settling up 6.8% at $85.39, driven by renewed appetite for safe-haven assets amid market jitters. “Elevated uncertainty plays directly into the gold market,” said Michael Haigh, Societe Generale’s global head of commodities research. Meanwhile, Jupiter fund manager Ned Naylor-Leyland cautioned, “when

Sibanye Stillwater stock jumps as gold cracks $4,600, putting Jan. 29 strategy update in play

Sibanye Stillwater stock jumps as gold cracks $4,600, putting Jan. 29 strategy update in play

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 14:25 EST — Regular session Sibanye Stillwater Limited’s U.S.-listed shares climbed roughly 7.3% to $16.79 in Monday afternoon trading, extending gains amid a rally in gold and other precious metals. This shift is crucial because the market is reacting to macro shocks again, not individual mine reports. When investors rush to safety — in simple terms: they buy assets expected to retain value during turmoil — gold miners usually behave like more volatile cousins of the metal itself. Gold soared past $4,600 an ounce for the first time, with platinum and palladium also pushing higher.

Nebius (NBIS) stock jumps on report of 800MW Kansas City-area data center plan

Nebius (NBIS) stock jumps on report of 800MW Kansas City-area data center plan

New York, January 12, 2026, 14:05 EST — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares surged roughly 10% Monday following reports that the AI infrastructure company plans to build an 800-megawatt data center campus near Kansas City, Missouri. The stock climbed 10.2% to $107.87 in afternoon trading, up from Friday’s close of $97.93. This shift comes in a market where power remains the bottleneck for artificial intelligence. Chips are available, but snapping up an additional 800 megawatts of electricity—and the necessary grid hookups—is far from simple. Nebius has been locking down major, long-term deals and then hustling to secure the infrastructure—land,

Pure Storage stock jumps nearly 8% as investor focus turns to insider filing, CPI and a Needham webcast

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 14:06 EST — Regular session Pure Storage shares jumped 7.9% on Monday, closing at $72.29. The move added to a volatile start for U.S. storage-related stocks, with investors shifting focus toward AI infrastructure plays. This move is crucial now as Pure faces a busy slate of market catalysts that could jolt rates and tech multiples.

Gold Fields stock jumps as gold breaks $4,600; CPI and earnings in focus

Gold Fields stock jumps as gold breaks $4,600; CPI and earnings in focus

New York, January 12, 2026, 14:16 EST — Regular session Gold Fields shares rose Monday, lifted by a strong surge in gold prices that boosted the entire sector. Shares of the South African miner climbed 6.7% to $48.73 in New York, having hit $49.58 earlier in the session. This matters because miners usually magnify gold’s price swings: their revenue adjusts quickly with the metal’s value, but many operating costs lag behind. That can push cash-flow forecasts up sharply — only to pull them back down just as fast. The move comes amid a nervy macro backdrop. Traders are switching back

The Nasdaq-listed stock climbed $4.82 from Friday’s close, with volume topping 35 million shares. This shift is significant as crypto-linked stocks kicked off the week reacting to macro headlines once more, ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. inflation report. The Consumer Price Index draws attention because it influences interest rate forecasts and, in turn, risk appetite in volatile market sectors.

Roughly 213,000 shares traded hands. The jump counts because Powell’s moves have turned into a gauge of whether funds are still betting on U.S. electrification and heavy industry spending. With shares hovering near recent peaks, new buying often hits quickly — and can reverse just as fast. Powell outpaced the modest 0.5% gain in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:10 EST — Regular session Shares of XPeng Inc, listed in the U.S., jumped Monday following a Bloomberg report that the Chinese EV maker tapped JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley to lead an IPO for its flying-car unit in Hong Kong. The stock rose 8.2% to $21.66 in early afternoon trading. (Bloomberg.com) This shift is crucial as XPeng pushes investors to look past its car business — toward autonomy, robotics, and now “low-altitude” air mobility — even as the crowded, price-driven China EV market drags.
