Accenture stock price today: ACN slips as jobs data resets rate bets, new retail AI push in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:42 EST — Regular session Accenture plc shares were down about 0.6% at $280.15 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after sliding to $277.77 at the session low. The broader market was higher, with exchange-traded funds tracking the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow up between about 0.4% and 0.8%. A softer U.S. jobs report fed the push and pull for rate-sensitive stocks. Nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000 in December, below a 60,000 forecast, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.4%, the Labor Department said. “The Fed will likely hold course for now,” Lindsay Rosner, head of

Kohl’s stock slides 5% as tariff ruling delay hits retailers; KSS traders eye Jan. 14

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:11 EST — Regular session Kohl’s Corp (KSS) shares were off roughly 5.1% at $20.66 Friday afternoon, after a choppy session that ran from $22.27 down to $20.43. The department-store operator opened at $22.00. The stock trailed even as the broader market found its footing after a softer U.S. jobs report. The U.S. Supreme Court said it would not issue a ruling on Friday on the legality of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, leaving investors still waiting on clarity around duties that can shift costs for import-heavy retailers.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:05 (EST) — Regular session Nike, Inc. shares rose 0.6% to $65.64 in afternoon trade on Friday after a report said the sportswear maker sold RTFKT, its digital products unit. Nike said the business transitioned to a new owner on Dec. 17. The stock traded between $64.46 and $66.52. (Retail Dive) The move lands as Nike tries to tighten its story.

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:52 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell about 2.4% to $50.96 in afternoon trading, tracking a fresh leg down in U.S. natural gas prices. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures for February were down 6.1% at $3.198 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a common unit used to price gas. (Investing.com South Africa) The moves matter because producers’ realised prices and cash flow are tied, directly or not, to the futures curve. In winter, weather models can flip demand in a hurry, and equities tend to follow the screen even when company news

Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK) stock drops nearly 5% as dry-bulk freight gauge slips

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 13:43 EST — Regular session Star Bulk Carriers Corp shares fell 4.8% to $19.76 by 1:25 p.m. EST on Friday, after earlier touching $20.75. The stock’s 52-week range runs from $12.06 to $20.87, and the company’s market value stood near $2.4 billion. (Star Bulk Carriers) The drop landed as the Baltic Dry Index — a widely watched gauge of what it costs to ship dry bulk cargoes like iron ore, coal and grain — eased to 1,688 on Friday and has fallen about 31% over the past month.

Revolution Medicines stock rises as Merck buyout talks swirl; FDA designation adds another spark

Revolution Medicines stock rises as Merck buyout talks swirl; FDA designation adds another spark

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:59 EST — Regular session Shares of Revolution Medicines climbed on Friday as investors weighed a report that Merck is in talks to buy the cancer-drug developer for up to $32 billion. Revolution was up about 4.3% at $112.00, after touching $125.79 earlier in the session. (Reuters) The chatter matters because Merck is hunting for oncology assets ahead of looming patent expirations on its blockbuster Keytruda, and dealmakers have been leaning harder into biotech after a busy year for healthcare M&A. A Revolution deal at that size would be one of the biggest pre-commercial biotech

Establishment Labs stock slides 5%: traders eye Motiva FDA next steps and JPM conference talk

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:50 EST — Regular session Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. shares slid about 5% to $69.22 in early afternoon trading Friday, after earlier rising as high as $74.37. The move stands out because the stock has been among the sharper movers in small-cap medical devices this week, and traders are balancing two timelines: near-term investor events and the longer U.S. regulatory process for its Motiva breast implants. On Friday, the broader market climbed after U.S. data showed employers added 50,000 jobs in December, leaving rate-cut bets intact even as the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.4%.

Nvidia stock holds steady after China H200 pay-upfront report — what AI investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:57 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares were up 0.1% at $185.31 in afternoon trading on Friday, after moving between $183.69 and $186.97. A Reuters report said the AI-chip maker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers for its H200 graphics processing units (GPUs) — chips used to train and run AI models — and will not allow cancellations, refunds or configuration changes; Chief Executive Jensen Huang said demand in China was “quite high.” Chinese tech firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200 chips, far above Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000,

XRP price slips near $2 after Ripple’s UK FCA win — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session XRP fell 1.9% to $2.09 on Friday, after touching $2.15 earlier in the session. Bitcoin eased 0.4% and ether fell about 1%. The dip came as traders weighed Ripple’s latest UK regulatory clearance against a cooler tone across risk assets. The UK move matters because it gives Ripple a fresh regulatory foothold in a major payments hub, at a time when crypto firms are trying to look more like infrastructure and less like a trade. XRP, a token tied closely to Ripple headlines, tends to react fast when regulation shifts.

SLV stock jumps as silver price nears $80 after softer U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 13:46 EST — Regular session iShares Silver Trust (SLV) jumped about 3.4% on Friday, mirroring a sharp rebound in silver after a softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report fed expectations of lower interest rates later this year. SLV was last at $72.11 and traded between $70.03 and $72.96. The move matters because SLV is one of the quickest “stock-like” ways for U.S. investors to take a view on the silver price without trading futures. When rate bets shift fast, the ETF tends to move with them. The trust is backed by physical silver and aims to track

Why Signet Jewelers (SIG) stock is sliding as Pandora flags weak U.S. holiday demand

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session Signet Jewelers Ltd shares fell 5.3% to $85.29 on Friday afternoon, after opening lower and sliding as far as $83.10. The stock last closed at $90.05. The move matters because Signet sits in the middle of the U.S. holiday gifting season — the stretch that can make or break the year for jewelry sellers. A sour read-through from overseas didn’t help, and investors are quick to price in any wobble in discretionary spending. Pandora rattled the space earlier on Friday when it cut its 2025 organic sales growth forecast to
