Strategy Inc stock slips as MSCI clamps down on index weight gains — Feb 10 is the next date to watch

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:55 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares fell 3.8% to $160.57 on Friday, extending choppy trade after an MSCI index decision that initially lifted the bitcoin-treasury stock. Bitcoin was up about 0.7%, while Coinbase fell about 2%. Why it matters now: index membership can drive automatic buying or selling by funds that track benchmarks, and Strategy has become a popular equity proxy for bitcoin exposure. MSCI said it will keep “digital asset treasury companies” in its indexes through the February 2026 review, but it will freeze certain inputs used to calculate index weights and

XRP price today: Ripple’s UK FCA approvals put the $2 level back in focus

XRP price today: Ripple’s UK FCA approvals put the $2 level back in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:14 ET — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% Friday, trading at $2.09, even after Ripple secured fresh regulatory approvals in the UK. The token hovered just shy of $2, holding steady despite the news. UK permissions matter—a lot—since regulation is still the main force dictating whether crypto firms can target large institutions, and whether banks will even approach token rails. Ripple is banking on licensing, aiming to reshape its payments unit into something closer to backbone infrastructure, moving away from its image as just another crypto bet. XRP’s been acting like a high-beta risk

Alphabet (GOOG) stock rises as Cantor turns bullish and Google’s Wiz deal clock ticks

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:37 EST — Regular session Alphabet Inc’s Class C shares (GOOG) jumped 1.2% Friday morning, tacking on $4.06 to reach $330.07. A fresh brokerage upgrade built on recent deal flow and upbeat earnings news from the Google parent. Alphabet’s heading into February facing two immediate headaches: shareholders are looking for hard evidence its AI efforts will boost the top line, while regulators haven’t stopped eyeing major tech acquisitions. The stock already surged in 2025—so at this point, disappointing financials or additional legal trouble could hit harder. (investopedia.com) Alphabet announced plans for a conference call on

Caesars Entertainment stock eases after Susquehanna upgrade pop, with Feb. 17 earnings in view

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:34 EST — Regular session Caesars Entertainment, Inc. shares were off about 1.1% at $24.80 in morning trading on Friday, after starting out higher and seesawing between $24.54 and $26.05. The retreat follows a 9% jump on Thursday, when the stock beat casino and gaming peers including MGM Resorts, DraftKings and Las Vegas Sands even as the broader market was mostly flat. The move matters because Caesars remains well below its 52-week high near $40, leaving the shares sensitive to fresh shifts in opinion as investors reposition ahead of earnings season.

The stock traded at $357.90 at 10:25 a.m. ET, up 7%, after bouncing from a low of $330.96 to a high of $365.50 earlier. The rebound stands out.

Murphy Oil stock slips after $500 million bond pricing; traders eye January earnings

Murphy Oil stock slips after $500 million bond pricing; traders eye January earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:24 EST — Regular session Murphy Oil shares were down 0.4% at $32.60 on Friday, a day after the company priced a $500 million bond sale that reshapes its near-term debt calendar. The refinancing matters because oil producers are still trying to keep maturities pushed out, even when crude moves around and credit is picky. Senior notes are long-term bonds that sit ahead of other unsecured claims if a company runs into trouble. Murphy’s new paper also comes with a cost. The company is swapping out 2027 and 2028 notes for a longer 2034 maturity,

EQT stock drifts as U.S. natural gas prices slide again, with storage and weather in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:22 (EST) — Regular session EQT Corp slipped 0.2% to $52.12 during Friday morning trading. The move followed a selloff in the previous session, as investors pulled back from gas-linked producers while U.S. gas prices softened. U.S. natural gas futures slipped roughly 2%, landing near $3.33 per million British thermal units (mmBtu)—the figure traders use to benchmark gas deals. These small price shifts have an outsized effect right now, with just a few cents making or breaking cash flow forecasts for producers linked closely to Henry Hub pricing, according to markets.businessinsider.com.

Nvidia stock dips after Reuters report on China H200 pay-upfront terms

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:32 (EST) — Regular session Nvidia shares slipped 0.2% to $184.61 in morning trading on Friday after Reuters reported the AI-chip leader is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers for its H200 graphics processing units, or GPUs. The new terms leave customers no option to cancel, seek refunds or change configurations once orders are placed, two people briefed on the matter told Reuters. Chinese firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200s priced around $27,000 each, the report said, outstripping Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000 chips.

Venture Global (VG) stock slips after a 10% jump as January LNG export record bets cool

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:16 EST — Regular session Venture Global shares fell 3.1% to $7.29 in morning trading on Friday, giving back some of Thursday’s 10.3% rally. The stock closed at $7.52 on Thursday after touching $7.59, with volume jumping to about 15.2 million shares. The swing matters because traders have been treating U.S. LNG names as weather-and-flow trades. LNG is liquefied natural gas — super-cooled fuel shipped by tanker — and small changes in winter forecasts can move prices fast. A Reuters commodities report on Thursday said U.S. LNG exports were on track to hit a monthly

The U.S.-listed shares, tied to the China data center operator, have swung sharply in recent weeks.
