Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:11 ET — Market closed Wheaton Precious Metals Corp shares (WPM) last closed down 1.2% at $117.52 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Yahoo Finance The late-year dip followed profit-taking across precious metals after a standout 2025, when gold climbed 66% and silver gained 161%, Reuters reported. Reuters That matters for Wheaton because it is a precious-metals streamer: it finances mines in exchange for the right to buy a portion of production at preset prices, tying results closely to swings in gold and silver. Gold prices softened into the

Coca-Cola stock (KO) sits near $70 as New Year’s Day shuts markets — what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:10 ET — Market closed Shares of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) last closed down 0.23% at $69.91 on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. stock markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. The Coca-Cola Company+1 The quiet start to 2026 matters because Coca-Cola is widely treated as a defensive “consumer staples” name — companies that sell everyday necessities — and those stocks can react sharply when investors reset expectations for growth and interest rates. A more volatile macro backdrop can also shift demand for steady dividend payers versus higher-growth

Enbridge stock (ENB) ends 2025 lower as oil slides; what investors watch before Friday’s open

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Enbridge Inc shares last closed at $47.83, down 0.46%, after U.S. markets shuttered on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. StockAnalysis+1 That matters because Enbridge trades as a high-cashflow pipeline and utility operator that investors often buy for income, making it sensitive to shifts in rates and risk appetite. With liquidity thin at year-end, small moves can get amplified. Reuters The backdrop heading into 2026 is mixed: Treasury yields ticked higher while oil prices fell sharply over the year, a combination that can weigh on energy-linked dividend stocks even

ARCC stock today: Ares Capital ends 2025 near $20 as rates and dividends drive the next move

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Ares Capital Corporation shares closed slightly lower in the last U.S. session of 2025, ending down 0.2% at $20.23. The business development company, or BDC, lends to middle-market firms and is built to pay out most of its taxable income to shareholders as dividends. That structure makes the stock particularly sensitive to shifts in short-term interest rates and any signs of stress in private credit. Those cross-currents are front of mind after Federal Reserve minutes showed officials were split at the December meeting even as they agreed to cut rates

U.S. markets were shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, keeping investors focused on Friday’s return to regular trading. The stock eased with the broader market as the S&P 500 fell 0.74%, and “it’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity. Reuters The move capped a year in which 3M shares rose about 25%, part of a wider run-up in diversified industrials.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:05 ET — Market closed. ASML Holding N.V.’s U.S.-listed shares slipped in the latest session after Reuters reported China is pushing chipmakers to use more domestically made equipment when building out new capacity. The stock was last at $1,069.86, down 0.25% from the previous close, after trading between $1,068.40 and $1,081.99. U.S. equities were closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:30 PM ET — Market closed Accenture plc shares (NYSE: ACN) last closed down about 0.6% at $268.36 on Wednesday, ahead of a New Year’s Day market holiday that left U.S. stock exchanges shut on Thursday. markets.businessinsider.com+1 The move matters as investors head into 2026 looking for read-throughs on corporate technology budgets, where consulting and IT services firms can act as an early barometer of demand.

Rigetti (RGTI) stock dips into 2026 as quantum names cool — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:33 PM ET — Market closed. Rigetti Computing shares fell 1.2% on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, closing at $22.15. The stock was last up about 0.6% in after-hours trading at $22.28, market data showed, as U.S. exchanges stayed closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. MarketWatch The move matters because Rigetti has become a bellwether for “pure-play” quantum computing stocks — smaller companies whose main business is quantum hardware and services — where liquidity can be thin and sentiment can flip quickly around year-end. That dynamic can amplify routine flows such as

SIDU stock jumps 17%: Sidus Space rally tied to year-end financing and new 7.4% stake filing

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:27 ET — Market closed Sidus Space shares closed up about 17% at $3.14 on Wednesday, after swinging between roughly $2.50 and $4.20 on about 170 million shares traded. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year holiday. The move matters because the microcap space-and-defense contractor has leaned on equity raises for funding. Fresh capital can buy time, but it also increases the share count and can pressure returns for existing holders.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:37 ET JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) is entering 2026 with Wall Street looking for only modest upside, with an average 12-month price target near $329 and a “Hold” consensus rating. The stock was last at $322.22, leaving analysts’ midpoint forecast about 2% above the market, based on 27 ratings tracked by MarketBeat. MarketBeat That tight gap matters now because investors are resetting risk at the start of the year, and big banks sit at the center of the interest-rate debate. Small shifts in rate expectations can quickly move bank earnings forecasts and valuations. For

U.S. markets were shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to digest a late-year dip without fresh trading in the stock. Nasdaq The timing matters because year-end positioning can amplify moves when liquidity is thin, and investors are resetting risk ahead of the first full week of 2026.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:27 ET Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. list prices on at least 350 branded medicines in 2026, according to data from healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors. The median increase is about 4%, and the figures do not reflect rebates or other discounts.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:34 ET Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.A, BRK.B) shares ended 2025 slightly lower on Warren Buffett’s final day as chief executive, as Greg Abel took over the top job at the $1.08 trillion conglomerate at the start of 2026.

Walmart shares (WMT) last traded at $111.41.

Saudi Aramco stock forecast 2026: Can dividends offset weak oil after 2025’s 15% slide?

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:25 ET Saudi Arabian Oil Co, better known as Saudi Aramco (2222.SE), enters 2026 after its shares fell 15.04% in 2025, the stock’s worst annual drop since its December 2019 IPO, amid weak oil markets and rising regional tensions. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark ended the year about 13% lower, and Milad Azar, a market analyst at XTB MENA, said the market may rebound in 2026 as monetary policy eases and interest rates decline, but “key risks could remain oil and global growth.” Reuters Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI), the main benchmark, rose 0.6% on

TSMC stock forecast 2026: New U.S. China licence and Nvidia H200 push put targets in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:23 ET Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co said the U.S. Department of Commerce granted its Nanjing unit an annual export licence that allows U.S. export-controlled items to be supplied without the need for individual vendor licences. The approval replaces a waiver known as validated end-user status — which let designated plants receive some controlled items with fewer approvals — that expired on Dec. 31, and Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have received similar licences. TSMC said the Nanjing fab makes 16-nanometre and other mature-node chips and generated about 2.4% of the company’s 2024 revenue. Reuters The

Meta stock forecast 2026: New scam-ad “playbook” scrutiny collides with a bigger AI spend plan

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:13 ET Meta Platforms is heading into 2026 with fresh questions over how it polices scam advertising, after internal documents reviewed by Reuters showed the company developed a “playbook” to stall regulators. Reuters That matters now because Meta’s stock outlook for 2026 rests on two linked forces: how much cash it can keep generating from ads, and how much it must spend — or be forced to spend — to keep regulators and users onside. The debate has sharpened as investors also press Big Tech to show that heavy artificial-intelligence spending translates into revenue and
