Gold price today: Spot holds above $4,300 as Fed cut talk supports bullion; GLD inches up

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:40 ET — Regular session Gold prices rose in early 2026 on Friday, with spot gold up 0.3% at $4,328.49 an ounce by 12:24 p.m. ET after earlier touching $4,402.06. Reuters The move matters because bullion is starting the year near record territory after a blistering 2025 run, and investors are resetting positions around the outlook for U.S. interest rates. Gold hit an all-time high of $4,549.71 on December 26 and gained 64% in 2025, Reuters reported. Reuters Traders are focused on rate-cut expectations because gold does not pay interest; lower yields reduce the opportunity

Dow Jones today: Caterpillar, Boeing lift blue chips as investors eye jobs report and Fed path

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 13:36 ET — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 78.93 points, or 0.16%, at 48,142.22 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between 47,853.04 and 48,275.63. Investing The muted rise matters because it is the first full trading session of 2026, and Wall Street is trying to steady after a late-December slide. Investors are also recalibrating expectations for interest rates after the market’s year-end “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal tendency for stocks to rise into early January — failed to gain traction. Traders are now looking to next week’s U.S.

Cipher Mining stock jumps as bitcoin pushes back above $90,000 in early 2026 trade

Cipher Mining stock jumps as bitcoin pushes back above $90,000 in early 2026 trade

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:27 ET — Regular session Cipher Mining Inc (CIFR) shares rose about 9% to $16.07 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after swinging between $14.79 and $16.43. The stock opened at $14.90 and volume topped 15 million shares. The move matters because bitcoin miners can act like a high-beta trade on the cryptocurrency. Their revenue is linked to the bitcoin price, while many operating costs — especially power — do not move in lockstep. That leverage cuts both ways at the start of 2026, with traders repricing risk as crypto and equities digest shifting macro

Stock market today: Dow steadies as chip stocks jump, Tesla drops in Wall Street’s 2026 opener

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:33 ET — Regular session Wall Street’s main indexes were mixed in early afternoon on Friday as the first trading day of 2026 opened without a clear risk-on push, despite a sharp rebound in chip shares. Reuters The muted start matters because stocks enter the new year near record highs after a strong 2025, leaving little room for disappointment on growth, earnings and interest rates. Investors are looking for an early read on whether last year’s leadership can extend into January. Reuters A crowded January calendar could set the tone quickly, with fresh labor-market and

Disney stock slides today as DIS tracks sector weakness despite ‘Zootopia 2’ box-office record

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 13:19 ET — Regular session Walt Disney Co shares fell 1.5% to $112.11 in early afternoon trading on Friday, sliding with broader consumer-discretionary weakness. The stock traded between $111.65 and $113.98 in the session, while the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF was down about 1.1%. The move comes in the first trading session of 2026, as investors reassess last year’s rally and look for fresh catalysts heading into January’s run of economic data and corporate updates.

NexGen Energy stock jumps as uranium names rally on Canada project milestone

NexGen Energy stock jumps as uranium names rally on Canada project milestone

New York, January 2, 2026, 1:02 PM ET — Regular session NexGen Energy Ltd shares climbed 9.8% to $10.10 in midday New York trading on Friday, after touching $10.20 earlier in the session. The move put the uranium developer among the stronger gainers in the space on the first trading day of 2026, as investors focused on regulatory and construction progress across Canada’s pipeline of new uranium supply. That matters because developers’ valuations tend to swing on confidence in permitting timelines and build costs, not current production, and Friday’s sector tape leaned into “shovel-ready” signals rather than long-dated exploration upside.

The stock was up $5.22 at $77.85, after ranging from $69.39 to $78.07. The move puts fresh attention on execution risks and milestones for space-based “direct-to-device” connectivity — the push to link standard smartphones to satellites when ground networks are unavailable. AST’s latest swing comes after the company’s BlueBird 6 satellite reached orbit late last month, a key step as it expands its low Earth orbit fleet — satellites operating relatively close
