Reliance Q3 results today: Jio, refining in focus as retail drag looms

Mumbai, Jan 16, 2026, 16:20 IST Reliance Industries is set to report its December-quarter results later on Friday, with analysts looking for a modest pickup in earnings as gains in refining and telecom help offset slower retail trends. The report is a pulse-check for India’s biggest corporate bellwether at a moment when investors are split on what matters more: the near-term boost from better refining margins or the longer grind in consumer businesses.

Heating oil price jumps before U.S. open as cold risk tightens diesel market

NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2026, 07:11 EST — Premarket NYMEX February ULSD, the key heating oil contract, gained 3.1 cents, climbing roughly 1.4% to $2.2392 a gallon in early Friday trading. WTI crude added 76 cents to settle at $59.84 a barrel, with Brent crude up 81 cents, reaching $64.57.

New York, January 16, 2026, 06:34 EST — Premarket U.S. mortgage rates stayed close to three-year lows on Friday, with the 30-year fixed rate lingering near 6% in early surveys as the bond market searched for direction.
