Air China stock jumps on $9.5 billion Airbus jet deal — what Shanghai investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 08:30 ET — Market closed Air China’s Shanghai-listed shares (601111.SS) rose 3.3% to 9.37 yuan at the last close on Dec. 31 after the flag carrier disclosed a large order for Airbus narrow-body aircraft.

Icahn Enterprises (IEP) Stock Ends 2025 Up as Wall Street Shuts for New Year’s Day—What to Watch Next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 07:57 ET — Market closed Icahn Enterprises L.P. shares rose in the last U.S. session of 2025, while Wall Street is shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. The partnership’s units last closed up 3.5% at $7.55.
