Rio Tinto stock slides on revived Glencore merger talks as Feb 5 deadline nears

London, January 9, 2026, 12:11 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares slid on Friday after the miner confirmed preliminary discussions with Glencore over a possible combination. Rio was down 2.2% in London by 1044 GMT, while Glencore jumped 10%, with markets also watching a U.S. jobs report later in the day. (reuters.com) The talks revive the chances of a mining mega-deal that would create a group valued at nearly $207 billion and, analysts say, would leapfrog BHP in market value. Rio’s shares slid as investors worried it could overpay for Glencore, a $65 billion miner and trader, in

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:08 ET — Premarket Shares of Jet.AI Inc slipped about 2% in Friday premarket after surging 29% a day earlier, with investors parsing new disclosures on the company’s financing and preferred-stock terms.

FNMA stock in focus after Trump’s $200bn mortgage bond order and fresh IPO talk

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 07:06 EST — Premarket Fannie Mae shares drew extra attention ahead of Friday’s session after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was ordering $200 billion of mortgage bond purchases intended to push mortgage rates lower. The stock finished Thursday up 1.5% at $10.85, as U.S. stock index futures stayed muted going into the December jobs report. (MarketWatch) That’s important since Federal National Mortgage Association stock — a thinly traded over-the-counter name — has for years tended to swing more on policy chatter than on routine business fundamentals. The company has been in federal conservatorship since

Richtech Robotics (RR) stock rises again in premarket as CES “Dex” demo keeps traders watching

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:06 EST — Premarket Richtech Robotics Inc shares rose 1% in premarket trading on Friday after jumping 14.9% a day earlier, extending a volatile week for the small-cap robotics maker. The stock last traded at $3.97 in premarket, after closing at $3.93 on Thursday. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because Richtech is getting an unusual burst of attention at CES 2026, where big product demos can spill straight into momentum trading in thinly held names.

MongoDB stock steadies before the bell after a 6% slide as payrolls, tariffs loom

New York, January 9, 2026, 07:04 EST — Premarket MongoDB (MDB) shares ticked higher in premarket trading on Friday after the stock slid 6.15% in the previous session, retreating from near its highs to finish at $413.52. Ahead of the open, pre-market quotes had it trading around the mid-$410s. The timing is awkward for investors, with a tight run of potential triggers that could swing rate bets and risk appetite.

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:03 EST — Premarket Novo Nordisk’s U.S.-listed shares gained 1.4% to $57.34 in premarket trading on Friday after the company rejected claims involving SaveRxCanada.to, a Canadian online pharmacy platform that says it offers India-sourced Ozempic to U.S. patients.
