Why Procter & Gamble stock is holding up as Wall Street dips ahead of earnings

New York, January 13, 2026, 13:37 EST — Regular session Procter & Gamble (PG.N) shares edged up 0.1% to $143.59 on Tuesday, staying positive as the wider market slipped. S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq ETFs fell between 0.3% and 0.7% in afternoon trading. Investors are shifting away from expensive growth stocks, turning to “overlooked” sectors like consumer staples, Reuters noted, even as major indexes fell.

Hafnia stock jumps as Black Sea tanker attacks drive up shipping risk premiums

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 13:33 EST — Regular session Shares of Hafnia Limited climbed roughly 5.6% to $5.96 Tuesday, boosting the NYSE-listed tanker operator amid renewed risk concerns emerging from the Black Sea that sparked buying in shipping stocks. Moves like this still matter since tanker stocks usually track freight rates — the daily fees refiners and traders pay to charter ships. Those rates can spike if routes become riskier or if vessels are withdrawn from an area. War-risk costs factor heavily into the equation. They can slam voyage economics fast and push owners to pick and choose more

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 13:31 EST — Regular session PepsiCo shares gained 0.8%, hitting $142.50 in early afternoon trading Tuesday, outperforming a weaker broader market as consumer staples drove sector advances.

The World Health Organization warned that low “health taxes” are keeping sugar-sweetened beverages affordable across many nations. It renewed its push for higher levies, backing its “3 by 35” campaign aimed at increasing prices through taxation. (Reuters) Within the

Nebius stock slips after Monday’s 10% pop as AI infrastructure trade turns choppy

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 13:37 ET — Regular session Nebius Group N.V. shares slipped 1.4% on Tuesday, shedding some of Monday’s gains amid a broader pullback in high-growth AI infrastructure stocks. The stock traded last at $105.85, fluctuating between $104.35 and $108.36 throughout the session. The pullback is significant because Nebius now serves as a momentum gauge for demand in graphics processing units (GPUs) — the chips powering AI model training and operation — and signals investor appetite for infrastructure investments. Sharp moves can quickly flip when interest rates, funding expenses, or earnings reports change. U.S. stocks slipped off

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 13:06 EST — Regular session Envirotech Vehicles, Inc (EVTV.O) saw its shares surge roughly 84% to $4.61 on Tuesday, pushing a two-day rally that has made the small U.S.-listed stock a momentum play.
