NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 08:20 EST — Premarket Vale S.A.’s U.S.-listed shares were down 1.3% in premarket trade on Friday at $14.07, after Scotiabank cut the Brazilian miner to “Sector Perform” — a neutral call — and warned that rising supply could cool iron ore prices. “We project the benchmark iron ore price to decline to US$90.00/t in 2H26,” analyst Alfonso Salazar wrote, even as he lifted his price target for Vale to $15 from $14.

Nokia stock rises after Hisense patent deal ends litigation; investors watch next moves

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:18 EST — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares were up 1.3% at $4.27 in premarket trading on Friday.

Tesla stock rises in premarket as TSLA traders eye jobs report, Tesla earnings next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 08:02 EST — Premarket Tesla shares climbed roughly 1% in premarket trading on Friday, pushing the stock up to $435.80 as investors looked ahead to a U.S. jobs report and other market-moving events due later in the day.

The December U.S. nonfarm payrolls report — a monthly count of jobs excluding farm work and a few other categories — arrives at 8:30 a.m. ET. Traders, meanwhile, are
