Archer Aviation stock pops in premarket after Nvidia IGX Thor AI tie-up — here’s what’s next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 08:08 EST — Premarket Archer Aviation Inc shares were up 2.6% at $8.94 in premarket trading on Friday after the company unveiled an AI collaboration with Nvidia at the CES technology show in Las Vegas. The stock ended Thursday up 3.4% at $8.71, after trading between $8.44 and $9.01 on volume of about 50 million shares. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because Nvidia-linked headlines are still moving prices in smaller, speculative names, especially when the story touches safety and autonomy rather than data-center servers. For Archer, the question isn’t just chips. Investors want to know whether

Nokia stock rises after Hisense patent deal ends litigation; investors watch next moves

Helsinki, January 9, 2026, 15:46 EET — Regular session Nokia Oyj shares climbed Friday after the Finnish telecom equipment maker signed a multi-year patent licence agreement with Hisense, ending all patent-related litigation between the two companies. The stock rose about 1.1% to 5.63 euros by 15:45 EET, still roughly 15% below its 52-week high of 6.65 euros. (Investing.com) The Hisense deal refocuses attention on Nokia’s licensing business, where royalties — fees paid for the right to use its patented tech — can throw off cash without leaning as much on carrier network spending. The timing is key, with investors hunting

Stock market today: Dow futures steady as jobs report and Supreme Court tariff ruling loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 08:21 EST U.S. stock index futures held mostly steady early Friday, with investors bracing for the December jobs report and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could reshape President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. By 6:57 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures were up 0.09% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.22%, while Dow futures were near flat.

Transocean stock ticks up in U.S. premarket as oil rises — what traders watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:18 EST — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares were up 1.3% at $4.27 in premarket trading on Friday. The shares moved with firmer crude, which tends to buoy offshore drillers on bets that higher oil prices keep exploration budgets healthy. Brent was up about 1% and U.S. crude about 0.9% as traders weighed unrest in Iran and uncertainty over Venezuelan supply. “Iran protests seem to be gathering momentum, leading the market to worry about disruptions,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity analysis at Saxo Bank reuters.com.

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:08 EST — Premarket SoFi Technologies, Inc. (SOFI.O) shares were little changed in early premarket trading on Friday near $27.72, after rising 2.7% in Thursday’s regular session. The stock slipped about 0.5% after hours. (MarketWatch) The immediate driver is macro. U.S. nonfarm payrolls data are due at 8:30 a.m. ET, with economists looking for 60,000 jobs added in December and the unemployment rate edging down to 4.5%, a Reuters poll showed. Markets are pricing roughly 60 basis points (0.60 percentage point) of Federal Reserve easing in 2026, leaving rate-sensitive stocks exposed to any surprise. (reuters.com)

Denison Mines stock in focus after SaskPower line brings grid power to Phoenix uranium site

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:13 EST — Premarket Denison Mines Corp shares edged up about 0.2% to $3.33 in U.S. premarket trade on Friday, after the Canadian uranium developer said grid power is now available at the site of its planned Phoenix mine in northern Saskatchewan. In a Form 6-K filing, Denison said Saskatchewan Power Corp has completed a new 138-kilovolt transmission line to the Phoenix site, a step it has flagged as critical for first-year construction work. Chief executive David Cates called the hookup a “major Project milestone” and said the line was installed “on schedule and on

Tesla stock rises in premarket as TSLA traders eye jobs report, Tesla earnings next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 08:02 EST — Premarket Tesla shares climbed roughly 1% in premarket trading on Friday, pushing the stock up to $435.80 as investors looked ahead to a U.S. jobs report and other market-moving events due later in the day. It’s resonating right now because investors are jumpy about releases that can jolt interest-rate expectations, and Tesla frequently behaves like a long-duration growth stock—sensitive to moves in yields. The December U.S. nonfarm payrolls report — a monthly count of jobs excluding farm work and a few other categories — arrives at 8:30 a.m. ET. Traders, meanwhile, are

Opendoor stock jumps in premarket as Trump orders $200 billion mortgage-bond buys

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:57 (EST) — Premarket Main takeaways: Opendoor Technologies Inc shares rose 8.4% in premarket trading on Friday, building on a steep late-week surge in rate-sensitive housing names after President Donald Trump pointed to a $200 billion mortgage-bond purchase plan. (Barron’s) The timing is important because Opendoor’s core model — purchasing homes and then flipping them — depends a lot on mortgage rates and how often houses change hands. Even a small policy move that eases borrowing costs can swing mood fast in the market’s most interest-rate sensitive pockets. (Financial Times) Trump said he had instructed

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 07:58 EST — Premarket BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. shares gained roughly 3% to $6.17 in Friday premarket action, finding some footing after a Cantor Fitzgerald downgrade earlier this week pointed to stiffer competition and near-term headwinds for the small-cap AI contractor. (TipRanks) The shift is worth watching because BigBear.ai is entering a dense stretch of balance-sheet catalysts that could jolt the stock even in the absence of fresh contract wins.
