BHP stock slides as Rio-Glencore deal talk puts miners back in play

BHP stock slides as Rio-Glencore deal talk puts miners back in play

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 17:14 AEDT — Market closed. BHP Group Ltd shares ended Monday down 2.54% at A$46.51, slipping for most of the session as investors digested renewed chatter of major deals stirring the mining sector. The decline is significant since BHP remains the benchmark for Australia’s mining sector. The fresh talk of consolidation arrives as investors scramble to gauge “what’s next” following a year marked by fits-and-starts in dealmaking. Copper is back in the spotlight. Used in wiring and power grids, it’s the scarce metal that executives and bankers say big miners are eager to control more of.

Tri Pointe Homes stock jumps nearly 9% as Trump mortgage-bond order lifts homebuilders; CPI next

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 09:49 EST — Market closed Shares of Tri Pointe Homes jumped 8.7% to close Friday at $35.42, lifted by a broad rally in housing-related stocks. The move came amid speculation that a federal program to purchase mortgage-backed securities might ease borrowing costs. (investors.tripointehomes.com) The move is significant because homebuilder demand is more sensitive to monthly payments than to headline home prices. President Donald Trump announced the administration would order a $200 billion purchase of mortgage bonds, with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte confirming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would carry it out.

Olema Pharmaceuticals Inc shares closed up 9.8% on Friday at $28.08, with about 2.5 million shares changing hands, as investors headed into a catalyst-heavy week for the cancer drug developer. (The Wall Street Journal) U.S. markets reopen on Monday, and Olema is the kind of stock that can gap on a single slide deck.

Bloom Energy stock heads into Monday after $2.65 billion AEP fuel-cell order sparks fresh analyst split

New York, January 11, 2026, 08:41 EST — The market has closed. Bloom Energy Corp (BE.N) closed Friday at $134.07, surging 10.1%. The rally picked up steam after a major utility bought fuel-cell units, sparking follow-up analyst upgrades. Why it matters now: Bloom has turned into a popular bet on the race for reliable power at data centers, where securing grid connections often drags on for years and on-site energy generation is making a comeback. The stock has often lacked a firm order — not just an option or a pilot project. Investors are weighing whether this newest commitment signals

New York, January 11, 2026, 08:50 EST — Market closed. Meritage Homes Corporation (MTH.N) shares jumped 10.4% to $75.45 at Friday’s close, as homebuilder stocks rallied after President Donald Trump announced a plan aimed at pushing mortgage rates lower. U.S. markets are shut on Sunday. (Zacks) That matters now because housing demand has been held hostage by monthly payments. Builders can adjust prices and incentives, but rates still drive who can qualify and who walks away. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration’s mortgage-bond buying is meant to roughly match the Federal Reserve’s monthly runoff of about $15 billion in
