Fortescue share price: what to watch before the ASX reopens after Rio-Glencore talks

Fortescue share price: what to watch before the ASX reopens after Rio-Glencore talks

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — Market closed. Fortescue Ltd shares open Monday with renewed focus on the major miners after Rio Tinto’s bid for Glencore reignited merger speculation. The stock last closed at A$22.71 on Friday, slipping 0.18%. (MarketWatch) That’s significant for Fortescue, even though it’s not part of the discussions. In Australia, cash tends to flow through the sector as a group, with miners often pricing in the theme ahead of the actual results. The key issue at play is what investors are valuing: growth in copper, scale, and the flexibility to pursue deals. Fortescue remains largely

CBA stock holds near A$153 as CPI and RBA loom — what could move Commonwealth Bank shares next

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 16:55 AEDT — Market closed Shares of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX) closed Friday at A$153.22, slipping 0.08%. Heading into Monday, focus is shifting away from company updates toward the latest signals on interest rates. (Investing.com Australia) This matters since CBA trades like a rate-sensitive stock. Shifts in investor sentiment on interest rates can send bank shares up or down, even if the lender’s fundamentals stay the same. The bank faces its next big milestone on Feb. 11, with half-year results and an interim dividend announcement lined up on its financial calendar. Shares will go ex-dividend

CSL Limited stock: the quiet ASX filing — and the February date traders circle

Sydney, January 11, 2026, 16:55 AEDT — The market has closed. CSL Limited shares closed Friday at A$174.29, slipping 0.16 Australian dollars. The stock traded between A$173.47 and A$175.60 during the session. (Yahoo Finance) CSL heads into Monday without much new momentum, yet investor nerves remain high. As a major player in Australian healthcare, even minor cues—routine filings included—grab attention with the next earnings report looming. A filing on Friday revealed that 34,261 unquoted CSLAL rights lapsed and ceased, attributed to processing of December 2025 leavers. The notice also confirmed 485,151,394 ordinary shares remain on issue. (CSL Limited) By itself,

Century Communities (CCS) stock jumps nearly 11%: why it moved and what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 09:45 EST — Market closed. Shares of Century Communities Inc (CCS) jumped roughly 11% on Friday, closing at $68.33. The surge followed a rally in housing-related stocks after U.S. President Donald Trump directed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds — mortgage-backed securities made up of home loan bundles — aiming to bring down mortgage rates and monthly payments. (Reuters) The Philadelphia Housing index climbed 4.8% on Friday, boosted by gains in mortgage lenders, homebuilders, credit scoring firms, and REITs.

Revolution Medicines stock jumps on Merck buyout buzz and an FDA breakthrough tag — what to watch Monday

New York, January 10, 2026, 09:47 EST — Market closed Revolution Medicines shares jumped 10.7% to close at $118.64 on Friday, hitting a session high of $125.79 amid merger rumors. The Financial Times reported that Merck is negotiating a potential $28 billion to $32 billion acquisition of the biotech. (Financial Times) The timing matters. A deal with Revolution would give Merck a new oncology boost as patents on its top-selling cancer drug Keytruda expire later this decade. This would mark the largest pharma acquisition since Pfizer’s buyout of Seagen. (Reuters) The stock swung wildly on conflicting reports, including another round

About 2.5 million shares changed hands. (Yahoo Finance) The jump lands days before management is due on stage at an investor conference, with quarterly results expected in early February. For a stock that has moved fast, the next two dates will do more than the last headline. (TTM Technologies, Inc.) It also came with risk appetite back in the driver’s seat.

SanDisk stock jumps on report of big enterprise NAND price rise

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 09:09 EST — Market closed SanDisk Corp (SNDK.O) shares jumped 12.8% to $377.41 in late Friday trading, following a report suggesting enterprise flash-memory prices could climb further. Nomura Securities highlighted that SanDisk’s NAND for enterprise SSDs might surge over 100% quarter on quarter in the March quarter, Tom’s Hardware reported. The stock fluctuated between $330.96 and $383.76 during the session. Why this matters now: NAND flash, the memory chip used in solid-state drives (SSDs), can shift profits quickly through contract pricing changes. A shift in enterprise pricing would directly impact a key thesis for the

Liquidia stock jumps 13% after $148M Yutrepia sales update; what investors watch next

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 09:08 ET — Market closed Key points: Liquidia Corporation shares climbed 12.9% on Friday to $35.86, extending a sharp run after the drugmaker laid out preliminary 2025 sales for its inhaled pulmonary hypertension drug, Yutrepia. The update matters because Yutrepia is now the engine of the story, not a promise. It is also a test of whether Liquidia can pry patients away from entrenched treatments in a market led by United Therapeutics’ treprostinil franchise. Liquidia said Yutrepia net product sales were about $90.1 million in the fourth quarter and $148.3 million for 2025, with 74%

About 39.3 million shares changed hands.
