Johnson Controls (JCI) stock slides after Nvidia’s CES cooling claim spooks data-center bulls

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 15:15 EST — Regular session Johnson Controls International (JCI) fell 5.5% to $114.79 in afternoon trading on Tuesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the chipmaker’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform could sharply reduce cooling needs in data centers and that “no water chillers are necessary for data centres.” The stock has traded between $108.41 and $120.39, and other heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) names also weakened.

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips as bitcoin falls and filing flags $17.4 billion paper loss

New York, January 6, 2026, 15:06 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares fell about 5% to $156.41 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $154.14 and $167.05.

A regulatory filing on Monday showed Strategy booked a $17.44 billion unrealized loss on digital assets in the fourth quarter and a $5.40 billion unrealized

No IRS Direct File in 2026: Here are the free ways to file your taxes now

WASHINGTON, Jan 6, 2026, 14:18 (EST) The IRS’ Direct File program — a free, government-run tool that let eligible taxpayers file federal returns directly with the agency — will not be available in the 2026 filing season, pushing filers toward other free options as preparations for tax season ramp up. https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/taxpayers-lose-free-irs-tax-filing-service-as-trump-administration-scraps-biden-initiative-what-to-know/articleshow/126373776.cms The change lands in early January, when households start gathering W-2s and other tax forms and checking whether they can avoid paying for software or a preparer.

IREN Limited stock slides 10% as bitcoin cools — what investors watch next

New York, January 6, 2026, 14:22 (EST) — Regular session IREN Limited (IREN) shares fell about 10% on Tuesday, retreating with other crypto-linked names as bitcoin turned lower. The Nasdaq-listed stock was down 10% at $43.43, after trading between $47.79 and $43.19 on volume of about 26.3 million shares. The move matters now because IREN has become a high-beta proxy — meaning it often moves more than the broader market — for two themes that can swing fast: bitcoin prices and demand for power-hungry AI computing. When either narrative shifts, the stock tends to magnify the turn. Tuesday’s drop followed
