ANZ stock slips into weekend as rate nerves linger; CPI and RBA set next test

SYDNEY, Jan 10, 2026, 16:54 AEDT — Market closed ANZ Group Holdings Ltd shares slipped 0.6% to close at A$35.45 on Friday, edging down as the weekend approached. (MarketScreener) The pullback is significant now as bank stocks have once again become an interest-rate play.

Why iRhythm stock is sliding today as Wall Street looks to JPM Healthcare Conference

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:54 EST — Regular session Shares of iRhythm Technologies (IRTC.O) fell 3.9% to $181.95 on Friday, after swinging between $190.16 and $179.61 in the session. The stock ended Thursday at $189.25. The drop left iRhythm behind a broader advance in U.S. equities, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq-tracking funds up about 0.8% and 1.1%, respectively. That gap matters because iRhythm trades like a growth stock — sensitive to rate moves and risk appetite — and those currents can swamp stock-specific news for stretches.

New York, January 9, 2026, 15:40 (EST) — Regular session Las Vegas Sands shares were down about 4.3% at $59.25 in afternoon trade on Friday, after touching a session low near $59.18. The drop matters now because Sands is one of the U.S. market’s purest plays on Macau casinos, where small swings in costs and promotions can move profits quickly. Traders have been quick to fade anything that hints at weaker margins going into the next round of quarterly reports. JPMorgan said it had been fielding calls from dozens of investors after shares of Hong Kong-listed Sands China fell 4.5%

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 15:10 (ET) — Regular session Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares fell 4.2% on Friday, slipping to $102.85 in afternoon trading after an early pop faded and the stock turned lower. Shares swung between $108.72 and $102.18. The drop landed even as the broader market held firm, a sign traders were treating this as a stock-specific story.
