Euronext stock slides into 2026 as Europe hits records — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:29 ET — Market closed Euronext (ENX.PA) shares last closed down 1.88% at 125.60 euros on Friday. European markets are shut for the weekend and trading resumes on Monday. Euronext The move matters because Euronext, which runs stock exchanges across several European capitals, earns fees from trading and “post-trade” services such as clearing and settlement — the steps that happen after a trade is executed. When markets are busy, exchanges typically see higher volumes, which can lift fee income. Europe began 2026 on a strong footing, with the STOXX 600 closing up 0.7% and London’s

Japan Exchange Group stock in focus as Tokyo Stock Exchange set to reopen Jan 5

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:10 ET — Market closed. Japan Exchange Group, the operator of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, edged up 0.1% to $10.67 in its U.S.-traded American depositary receipt (ADR) on Friday, a U.S. certificate that tracks foreign shares. Investing The move matters because Japan’s main cash market has been closed for the New Year holiday, leaving offshore trading as one of the only real-time indicators for positioning ahead of Tokyo’s first session of 2026. For the exchange operator, the backdrop is crucial: JPX’s trading, clearing and data businesses typically benefit when investors trade more and markets swing,

New York Stock Exchange owner ICE stock slips below $160 heading into key U.S. jobs week

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:53 ET — Market closed Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, last closed at $159.99 on Friday, down 1.2% on the day. The decline leaves the NYSE parent starting 2026 on a softer footing, with investors turning their focus to whether next week’s U.S. data resets interest-rate expectations and market activity. That matters for exchange operators because their transaction revenue is tied to how much investors trade. Clearing — the back-office process that guarantees both sides of a trade — can also benefit when volumes pick up. On Friday, the Dow

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:20 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corp shares surged on the first trading day of 2026, closing Friday up 13.58% at $98.69. The fuel-cell maker swung between $88.86 and $98.85 as volume rose to about 11.6 million shares, according to Investing.com data. Investing The rally matters because Bloom has become a high-beta proxy for the “data center power” trade, where investors have rewarded companies promising fast, on-site electricity supply as grid upgrades lag demand. The flip side is volatility: financing headlines and interest-rate expectations can move the stock quickly. In the options market, bullish
