FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

London, Jan 14, 2026, 10:58 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 0.3% to 10,170.81 in mid-morning trade, helped by gold-linked miners and a lift in AstraZeneca. Endeavour Mining gained 3.4%, AstraZeneca rose 2.6% and Glencore added 2.3%, while the index came into the day after edging down 0.03% on Tuesday. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The tone matters now because the UK’s blue-chip index is heavy on miners, oil producers and global defensives, so it tends to track big swings in commodities and rates expectations rather than the health of the local consumer. Gold and silver set the pace again after

Bitmine (BMNR) stock on watch after company says crypto pile hit $14 bln ahead of share vote

Bitmine (BMNR) stock on watch after company says crypto pile hit $14 bln ahead of share vote

New York, January 14, 2026, 05:46 (EST) — Premarket Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies edged up 0.2% in premarket action Wednesday, hitting $31.22. The move came after the company disclosed a larger ethereum holding in its latest operations update. Ether, the token behind the Ethereum blockchain, gained roughly 6%, while bitcoin picked up about 3%. Bitmine now acts more like a quick-moving stand-in for ether than a straightforward mining play. Its stock often amplifies crypto price shifts — and the company’s funding decisions can further fuel the volatility. The second layer is now the key issue. Bitmine is pushing shareholders

Viatris stock steadies in premarket after a 5% jump on JPM conference remarks — what investors watch next

Viatris stock steadies in premarket after a 5% jump on JPM conference remarks — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 05:46 EST — Premarket Viatris Inc shares showed little movement in premarket trading Wednesday, following a more than 5% jump the day before. The stock was indicated near $13.37. The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference holds weight because it can quickly change the sector’s mood, particularly for mid-cap firms where a single comment from management can steer the conversation. For Viatris, investors are zeroed in on one question: will it keep converting its vast portfolio into cash, and how will it deploy those proceeds. Viatris came about in November 2020 when Mylan merged with Pfizer’s Upjohn

Snowflake stock slides after Barclays downgrade, putting SNOW’s valuation debate back in play

Snowflake stock slides after Barclays downgrade, putting SNOW’s valuation debate back in play

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 05:28 EST — Premarket Snowflake Inc shares hovered near $209 in premarket trade on Wednesday after ending Tuesday down 4.94% at $209.39, as a Barclays downgrade pushed investors back to an old worry: how much upside is left at this price. The pullback came alongside a broader retreat in tech shares. (Investing.com) The downgrade matters now because Snowflake has become a kind of temperature check for high-growth cloud software. When a big bank goes neutral, it can spill into the whole group, even if nothing at the company changed overnight. It also lands early in

Sensex slips again as Nifty breaks below 25,700 on tariff jitters and foreign selling

MUMBAI, Jan 14, 2026, 16:02 IST Indian stocks closed lower Wednesday following a volatile session. The Nifty slipped below 25,700, while the Sensex dropped roughly 245 points. The rupee weakened as well, finishing at 90.30 against the U.S. dollar, according to Moneycontrol. (Moneycontrol) The dip added to pressure on a market already struggling to attract buyers this month, as investors grapple with U.S. tariff threats and uncertainty over when an India-U.S. trade deal might materialize. “A sustained tariff row with the U.S. and related news flows are disturbing domestic market momentum,” said Amnish Aggarwal, director of institutional research at PL

Arista Networks stock jumps 5% as AI-switch demand stays front and center

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 05:30 EST — Premarket Shares of Arista Networks climbed 5.3% on Tuesday, closing at $129.93, and were steady near that mark ahead of Wednesday’s session. (MarketWatch) This move is significant as Arista effectively serves as a barometer for investment in the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence—specifically the high-speed networks linking servers within data centers. The firm provides networking equipment tailored for large AI setups, data centers, campus networks, and routing operations.

TryHard Holdings stock dips in premarket after Tuesday’s 138% surge on buyback, Hong Kong fund plan

TryHard Holdings stock dips in premarket after Tuesday’s 138% surge on buyback, Hong Kong fund plan

NEW YORK, January 14, 2026, 05:22 EST — Premarket TryHard Holdings Limited shares dropped 5.5% to $52.00 in early premarket Wednesday, retreating from a strong rally sparked by company news the previous day. (Investing.com) The sharp turnaround is significant since TryHard remains a fresh name on the U.S. listings and has reacted sharply to sparse news. Traders are scrambling to figure out if Tuesday’s surge signals a lasting re-rating or just a short-lived squeeze that will fade once markets open. Two corporate moves are shaping the tape: a board-approved share buyback program and a proposed entertainment investment fund based in

Visa stock hit again by Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap push as traders eye Jan. 20

Visa stock hit again by Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap push as traders eye Jan. 20

New York, January 14, 2026, 05:25 ET — Premarket Visa Inc shares dropped 4.5%, ending Tuesday at $327.88. The move was notable for a Dow component, following renewed White House pressure on credit-card fees that rattled payments stocks. The selloff boils down to one key factor: President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap of 10% on credit-card interest rates starting Jan. 20, effectively setting a legal maximum on what issuers can charge. JPMorgan’s Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum slammed the plan as “very bad for consumers,” warning the bank would have to scale back credit availability. Trump also backed reducing

Beyond Air (XAIR) stock whipsaws after NeuroNOS deal — premarket drop follows 150% rally

NEW YORK, January 14, 2026, 05:10 (EST) — Premarket Shares of Beyond Air, Inc. plunged 16.4% to $1.83 in premarket action Wednesday, following a wild 150% surge that closed Tuesday at $2.19. The stock swung between $1.37 and $2.66 during Tuesday’s session, with volume skyrocketing to roughly 408.6 million shares—far above the three-month average of 6.76 million. (Investing.com) The swing matters now because Beyond Air is a small stock and the new headline changes what investors think they own. The deal ties Beyond Air’s narrative to another listed company’s shares and introduces a slew of “if-then” payments that could quickly
