Dow Jones Industrial Average drops from record as JPMorgan, Visa slide — what Wall Street watches next

New York, January 13, 2026, 13:39 EST — Regular session underway. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.67% to 49,256.12 on Tuesday, dragged down by financial stocks as investors digested an inflation report that kept the rate-cut discussion open. U.S. crude climbed 2.67% to $61.09 a barrel, with Iran unrest sending oil prices to their highest in weeks. (Reuters) The benchmark entered the session close to record levels, having just hit an all-time high Monday. Investors shrugged off renewed doubts about the Federal Reserve’s independence. Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities, noted that “the market is taking

The stock climbed 7.0% to $36.01 in afternoon trading, briefly touching $36.03. It started the day at $34.02 and dipped to $34.00 earlier. Trading volume exceeded 420,000 shares.

GE Vernova stock rises as $1,087 target lands, but “oversupply” talk clouds the trade

GE Vernova stock rises as $1,087 target lands, but “oversupply” talk clouds the trade

New York, January 13, 2026, 13:22 EST — Regular session Shares of GE Vernova climbed Tuesday, boosted by a fresh bullish price target, even as investors weighed caution over rising competition. The stock gained 1.9%, hitting $651.92 in early afternoon trading, after briefly reaching $659.04. This shift is significant as GE Vernova now serves as a stand-in for the race to boost power generation amid rising electricity demand from data centers and electrification. Following a strong rally, the stock’s price action has begun to reflect sentiment shifts more than daily fundamental changes. With the quarterly report due later this month,

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. Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, emphasized, “the lifeblood of a bull market is rotation.” (Reuters) The move followed a Labor Department report revealing U.S. consumer prices climbed 0.3% in December, marking a
Hafnia stock jumps as Black Sea tanker attacks drive up shipping risk premiums

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

PepsiCo stock rises as Wall Street goes defensive, with soda-tax talk back in view

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 defensive bid stood out on a day when traders shied from risk, pushing U.S. Treasury bond prices higher and yields down. Policy pressure on sugary drinks has resurfaced. 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

Investors are now focused on whether its space-systems business can deliver consistent production and more reliable cash

Airlines remain on the hunt for capacity, particularly on long-haul flights, while Boeing
