AstraZeneca stock: Nasdaq-100 exit date nears as index flows and JPM conference loom

AstraZeneca stock: Nasdaq-100 exit date nears as index flows and JPM conference loom

London, Jan 11, 2026, 16:43 GMT — Market closed. AstraZeneca shares head into Monday’s session under pressure after Nasdaq announced Walmart will take the drugmaker’s spot in the Nasdaq-100 starting Jan. 20. (Reuters) This is significant today since index trackers often translate a calendar shift into actual trades. Funds following the Nasdaq-100 usually tweak their holdings near the effective date, causing spikes in volume and short-term price fluctuations. AstraZeneca’s shares in London finished Friday at 14,216 pence, gaining 0.28%. Over in the U.S., its ADRs closed at $94.65, up 0.68%, per Yahoo Finance.

Chevron stock (CVX) heads into Monday with Venezuela output boost in spotlight

New York, January 11, 2026, 11:37 EST — Market closed Chevron (CVX) shares rose 1.8% on Friday, closing at $162.11, as investors digested the company’s assertion that it can quickly boost production in Venezuela. At a White House meeting, Vice Chairman Mark Nelson pointed to Chevron’s century-long presence in Venezuela and its unique position as the only U.S. oil major still active there. He claimed Chevron could immediately double crude “liftings” — the volumes loaded for sale — from its joint ventures with PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil firm. Nelson added, “We are also able to increase our production within

P&G stock: 3 things to watch before Monday’s open

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 11:34 EST — Market closed Procter & Gamble (PG) shares ended Friday roughly 0.2% higher, closing at $141.87. The modest gain kept the consumer-staples giant essentially flat heading into the weekend. This is crucial now since the next market move will probably hinge on interest rates. Even a slight change in inflation expectations can nudge Treasury yields and shake up “defensive” stocks — the reliable earners investors turn to when growth feels uncertain. P&G occupies a central spot in that dynamic. The company sells everyday essentials, and its earnings often influence investor views on pricing

Roche stock: $570 million MediLink cancer-drug deal puts Swiss shares back in focus

ZURICH, Jan 11, 2026, 17:40 CET — The market has closed. Roche Holding shares rose 0.4% on Friday following news that China’s MediLink Therapeutics inked a licensing deal with the Swiss pharma giant for an experimental cancer drug. The stock closed at 340.80 Swiss francs on the SIX Swiss Exchange. (MarketWatch) The deal underscores how big pharma continues to invest heavily in oncology pipelines, despite investor calls for more defined revenue prospects. Antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, remain a standout area in cancer R&D — leveraging antibodies to carry lethal agents directly to tumors. Timing is key for Roche. Shares are

Home Depot stock jumps as mortgage-rate plan jolts housing trade ahead of CPI week

The move came as housing-linked stocks rallied after President Donald Trump ordered $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities purchases — bonds backed by pools of home loans — in a bid to bring down housing costs. Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, told Reuters “every little bit will help push mortgage yields lower,” but he added the policy could also fuel demand and

Alibaba stock drops into the weekend as China opens food-delivery probe; what BABA traders watch next

New York, January 11, 2026, 11:18 (EST) — Market closed. Alibaba Group Holding’s U.S.-listed ADRs dropped 2.3%, closing at $150.96 on Friday. The decline came after China announced an investigation into aggressive competition among food-delivery platforms, drawing attention to the subsidy-heavy “instant retail” battle for one-hour delivery of products—from meals to over-the-counter medicine. Both Alibaba and rival Meituan said they welcome the probe and will cooperate. (Reuters) This move matters now because delivery stands out as one of the clearest areas where Alibaba can boost user growth amid China’s packed consumer internet scene. It’s also a quick way to burn

LVMH stock ends week higher as champagne strike threat looms — what to watch Monday

Paris, January 11, 2026, 17:14 CET — The market has closed. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE shares enter the new week amid mounting labour tensions, as a union has urged additional strike action within the group’s wines and spirits division, targeting its champagne houses. Why this matters now: after a broad rally in European equities, investors are once again reacting sharply to any disruption risks in luxury stocks, with LVMH remaining the sector’s key bellwether in Paris. The timing hits hard since the dispute revolves around pay and benefits at Moët Hennessy amid softer sales. It’s a clear sign

The U.S. Supreme Court will deliver its next batch of rulings on Jan. 14, leaving a challenge to President Donald Trump’s broad tariffs still in play as traders prepare for the week.

New York, January 11, 2026, 11:10 EST — Market closed AbbVie Inc. (ABBV.N) closed Friday down 1.8% at $220.08. As U.S. markets remain closed over the weekend, chatter about a potential deal lingers heading into Monday. The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference week draws attention now, serving as a hotspot for new guidance, pipeline updates, and those crucial side-room talks that often spark M&A activity. For major drugmakers, it’s also the moment investors demand a clear answer: should they buy growth or build it themselves?

Bank of America stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call hits ahead of BAC earnings

New York, January 11, 2026, 11:15 EST — Market closed. U.S. President Donald Trump announced a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%, set to start on Jan. 20, though he didn’t clarify how the plan would be enforced. The move adds fresh policy risk for Bank of America and other lenders as trading restarts. Banking groups warned this could “reduce credit availability.” Bank of America, American Express, and Capital One did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. “When companies can’t price the risk properly, they’ll just reduce credit lines,” said Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at
