EQT stock drops as U.S. natural gas prices hit an 11-week low — what to watch next week

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 12:31 EST — Market closed. EQT Corp shares dropped 2.1% on Friday, closing at $51.09, lagging behind a broader U.S. rally. The S&P 500 gained 0.65%, while the Dow rose 0.48%. The market will be closed Sunday ahead of Monday’s reopening. (MarketWatch) This is crucial since EQT trades on the strip, not the front-month price.

Shell buyback faces fresh questions after Q4 warning as post-oil plan takes shape

Shell buyback faces fresh questions after Q4 warning as post-oil plan takes shape

LONDON, Jan 11, 2026, 17:44 GMT Shell on Thursday flagged that weak oil trading would drag its chemicals and products division into a fourth-quarter loss, casting doubt on its $3.5 billion quarterly share buyback. RBC’s Biraj Borkhataria pinpointed the main issue: will management “hold the line” on buybacks? HSBC’s Kim Fustier expressed less confidence in that. UBS’s Josh Stone slashed his Q4 net income forecast by 14% to $3.6 billion, while Citi’s Alastair Syme trimmed his estimate 11% to $3.83 billion. Shell shares dropped 2.6%.

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 12:23 EST — Market closed XRP hovered around $2.09 on Sunday, edging up roughly 0.1% in the past 24 hours after a subdued weekend in crypto trading.
