Gold price slips from record high as GLD stock dips premarket; miners in focus

Gold price slips from record high as GLD stock dips premarket; miners in focus

New York, January 15, 2026, 06:10 ET — Premarket update. Gold-backed stocks slipped in U.S. premarket Thursday, as the bullion rally took a breather and investors digested a softer geopolitical risk environment. SPDR Gold Shares, the top gold ETF in the U.S., last changed hands at $424.68, off roughly 0.3% from its previous close. (Investing.com) Gold’s recent moves are notable, with investors snapping it up as a safe haven amid political and policy upheaval. The metal has jumped over 6% in just the first 13 days of 2026, following a 64% surge last year. Major brokerages have even suggested $5,000

UK stock market today: FTSE 100 hits fresh record as Schroders jumps, Dunelm dives

UK stock market today: FTSE 100 hits fresh record as Schroders jumps, Dunelm dives

London, Jan 15, 2026, 10:55 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 hit a fresh record on Thursday, climbing 0.45% by 1028 GMT. Strong corporate results buoyed asset managers and banks, offsetting a steep drop in Dunelm. The FTSE 250, focused on mid-caps, rose 0.7%, reaching its highest level in four years. (Reuters) The rally matters because London’s gains have been driven mostly by a few sectors — financials, miners, and healthcare — and investors are pushing to see how much steam is left as rate-cut expectations tighten. A couple of sharp drops in individual stocks also serve as a

Silver price stock SLV slips before the bell after record silver spike — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 06:09 ET — Premarket iShares Silver Trust (SLV) dipped 2.5% in premarket trading Thursday, sliding to $82.44.

Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy, linked the pullback to a calmer geopolitical mood around Iran and Washington’s decision to delay tariffs on key minerals, factors that had boosted the metal’s appeal in the U.S. (Reuters)

India stock market closed today: Sensex, Nifty reopen Friday — what traders are watching

Bengaluru, Jan 15, 2026, 16:21 (IST) — The market has closed. Indian stock markets remained closed on Thursday due to a local holiday, sidelining traders following two days of declines in key indexes. The pause comes as earnings reports and tariff news begin to weigh on sentiment once more. (Business Standard) The NSE’s Nifty 50 closed at 25,665.60, slipping 0.26%. Offshore, GIFT Nifty futures, a common early indicator for the next cash session, dropped 0.12% to 25,783 late Thursday.

ASX 200 hits two-month high as miners lead, BHP ends at two-year peak

Sydney, January 15, 2026, 21:59 AEDT — Market closed Australian shares ended Thursday at an over two-month high, with miners doing most of the work as investors leaned back into resource names. The S&P/ASX 200 closed 0.5% higher at 8,861.70, while BHP finished at its strongest level in more than two years and Rio Tinto rose 0.4%. (Indo Premier) The turn into miners matters because it has started to look less like a one-day commodity bounce and more like a positioning shift away from banks that ran hard in late 2025. “Valuation fatigue in banks and strong tailwinds for miners

Palantir billboards pop up in Youngstown, sparking fresh talk about the AI firm’s next move

Palantir billboards pop up in Youngstown, sparking fresh talk about the AI firm’s next move

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan 15, 2026, 06:02 EST At least two new billboards carrying Palantir Technologies’ name have appeared around Youngstown, Ohio, setting off local speculation about why the data-software company is targeting the area and whether it is fishing for hires or something bigger. Palantir told a local outlet it picked Youngstown and other “historic industrial powerhouses” as part of an ad campaign tied to the AI push. https://www.wfmj.com/story/53382496/palantir-billboards-appear-in-youngstown-sparking-questions-and-speculation The signs matter now because Palantir is taking its message out of tech hubs and into old manufacturing cities, where talk of job churn from AI, short for artificial intelligence, tends

Oakville teens land early funding for shark-deterring net as Halton board steps up mental health push

Toronto, January 15, 2026, 05:13 (EST) Three Grade 11 students from west of Toronto have pulled together roughly $5,500 in early funding for a fishing net aimed at cutting shark bycatch — the unintentional catch of non-target species — the Halton District School Board announced Thursday. Emmy Nah, Amrutha Kosuri, and Veera Kalsi developed the “Bye-Catch” concept at Oakville’s T.A. Blakelock High School. They used recycled materials and added electromagnets plus blue LEDs designed to repel sharks without harming fish, the board said. After making it to the finals of Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow contest, the team pitched the idea

Broadcom stock falls again as China targets VMware; RBC says OpenAI upside ‘less clear’

Broadcom stock falls again as China targets VMware; RBC says OpenAI upside ‘less clear’

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:43 EST — Premarket Broadcom Inc (AVGO) shares fell roughly 4.2% to $339.89 in premarket trading Thursday, following reports that China has instructed local companies to halt use of certain foreign cybersecurity software, including VMware, which Broadcom owns. (Jerusalem Post) This report hits Broadcom’s software business, not just its chip division. It comes quickly too, as U.S.-China tech tensions stretch beyond export controls into the core infrastructure of corporate networks. Traders are digesting new sell-side reports alongside a debt refinancing move Broadcom revealed in an SEC filing. Not exactly the recipe for a steady open.

Lottery.com stock steadies premarket after 80% surge, volatility pause puts SEGG in focus

Lottery.com stock steadies premarket after 80% surge, volatility pause puts SEGG in focus

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:34 EST — Premarket Lottery.com Inc shares were little changed in premarket trading on Thursday, holding near $0.93 after a blistering run in the prior session that put the microcap back on traders’ screens. The jump matters because SEGG normally trades like a thin, low-priced name. When volume suddenly spikes, price can gap hard and liquidity can vanish just as quickly, especially around the open. It also leaves investors with a simple question: was Wednesday’s move tied to fresh news, or was it a momentum burst that could unwind just as fast once the bell

AppLovin stock (APP) steadies in premarket after a brutal slide — Evercore’s new buy call is the test

AppLovin stock (APP) steadies in premarket after a brutal slide — Evercore’s new buy call is the test

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 05:37 EST — Premarket AppLovin shares edged up $2.28, or 0.37%, to $620.04 in premarket trading Thursday, rebounding from a 7.61% drop that sent them down to $617.76 at Wednesday’s close. (Public) This swing is significant since AppLovin has turned into a momentum-driven stock once more — it can surge sharply, then fall even faster when risk appetite cools. A one-day plunge like Wednesday’s usually attracts both bargain hunters and rapid-fire sellers, leading to lighter trading volume early on. Analyst coverage and any negative headlines hit harder than normal. Traders are scrambling to tell apart

Lam Research stock pops before the open as analysts turn bullish ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 05:29 EST — Premarket Lam Research shares jumped 6.5% in premarket action Thursday, recovering ground lost the day before after new analyst coverage refocused attention on the chip-equipment maker. The stock last traded around $222.38, up from Wednesday’s $208.79 close. (Public) Moves like this carry extra weight for semiconductor equipment stocks, since the story hinges on spending plans — when and how much chipmakers shell out for gear. Lam, a key player in etch and deposition tools, is set to report late January, with investors eager to see if demand extends beyond just a handful
