Rivian stock slips after 19,641-vehicle recall as jobs data and VW tie-up hit tape

New York, January 9, 2026, 09:31 ET — Regular session Rivian Automotive, Inc. shares were down about 0.9% at $19.89 in early trade on Friday after U.S. safety regulators said the company is recalling 19,641 electric vehicles over an improperly reassembled rear toe link, a part of the rear suspension. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Rivian will replace the rear toe-link bolts free of charge and cited one crash with minor injuries. (reuters.com) The recall lands on a company still trying to keep a lid on costs while it pushes volume. In 2025, Rivian produced 42,284 vehicles and

Broadcom stock slides after $4.5 billion bond pricing; Wall Street looks past the noise

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:35 EST — Regular session Broadcom shares slid 3.2% in early trading on Friday, down $11.13 at $332.48, after opening sharply lower and hitting an intraday low of $333.54. The move keeps Broadcom in the crosshairs of a market that has been quick to sell big tech on any hint of tighter financial conditions, even as investors stay focused on how much spending the AI build-out can really absorb. Broadcom was among the large tech names that helped drag the Nasdaq lower on Thursday. (Reuters) This week, Broadcom priced $4.5 billion of senior notes across

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) stock slips premarket as $550 million Quantum Circuits deal spotlights dilution

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:05 EST — Premarket D-Wave Quantum Inc (QBTS) shares slid about 3.1% to $29.28 in premarket trading on Friday as investors digested the company’s agreement to buy Quantum Circuits in a $550 million cash-and-stock deal.

B2Gold stock holds near $4.50 before the open as a soft U.S. jobs print keeps gold in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 09:04 EST — Premarket B2Gold Corp shares were at $4.50 in early trading on Friday, about 2% above the prior close. That matters because the latest U.S. jobs report landed on traders’ screens right before the opening bell. Nonfarm payrolls — a monthly count of U.S. jobs excluding agriculture — rose by 50,000 in December, and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%, reinforcing expectations the Federal Reserve will likely hold rates steady at its next meeting. (reuters.com) Gold prices, which tend to steer miners’ shares, were still near record territory even as the dollar stayed

Apple stock slips before the bell as Alphabet leapfrogs it in value and Apple Card shift stays in focus

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:35 EST — Premarket Apple (AAPL.O) was down 0.5% at $259.04 in premarket trade on Friday, after ending Thursday’s session at $260.37. Apple’s size is the point. By market capitalization — the share price times shares outstanding — it remains one of those stocks that can tug the Nasdaq around on a quiet morning. This is no quiet morning. Traders are parsing fresh U.S. labor-market signals and awaiting a Supreme Court ruling linked to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, either of which could jolt rate bets that matter for big tech. Apple is also looking at

Premarket trading — before the regular New York session opens — can be thinner than daytime trade, according to Public. The stock barely budged with equity futures hovering near flat ahead of the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report due at 8:30 a.m. ET. Traders were also on hold for a Supreme Court ruling expected Friday on President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Markets were pricing about 60 basis points (0.60 percentage point)

Vale stock slips before the U.S. open as Scotiabank flags iron ore glut risk

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. (StreetInsider.com) The call lands as iron ore steadies near recent highs but starts to wobble. The most-traded May contract in Dalian slipped 0.55%

(Public) Investors are trying to get a clearer read on what 2026 demand will look like for U.S. carriers — and what it will take to keep customers from drifting. Free perks can help fill seats, but they can also eat into margins. Broader markets were cautious ahead of the December U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, due later on Friday, and a Supreme Court decision on the legality of President

Archer Aviation stock pops in premarket after Nvidia IGX Thor AI tie-up — here’s what’s next

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 08:08 EST — Premarket Archer Aviation Inc shares were up 2.6% at $8.94 in premarket trading on Friday after the company unveiled an AI collaboration with Nvidia at the CES technology show in Las Vegas. The stock ended Thursday up 3.4% at $8.71, after trading between $8.44 and $9.01 on volume of about 50 million shares. (StockAnalysis) The move matters because Nvidia-linked headlines are still moving prices in smaller, speculative names, especially when the story touches safety and autonomy rather than data-center servers. For Archer, the question isn’t just chips. Investors want to know whether

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

Helsinki, January 9, 2026, 15:46 EET — Regular session Nokia Oyj shares climbed Friday after the Finnish telecom equipment maker signed a multi-year patent licence agreement with Hisense, ending all patent-related litigation between the two companies. The stock rose about 1.1% to 5.63 euros by 15:45 EET, still roughly 15% below its 52-week high of 6.65 euros. (Investing.com) The Hisense deal refocuses attention on Nokia’s licensing business, where royalties — fees paid for the right to use its patented tech — can throw off cash without leaning as much on carrier network spending. The timing is key, with investors hunting

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 08:21 EST U.S. stock index futures held mostly steady early Friday, with investors bracing for the December jobs report and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could reshape President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. By 6:57 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures were up 0.09% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.22%, while Dow futures were near flat. Intel rose after Trump said he met its CEO, and General Motors slipped after flagging a $6 billion charge tied to its EV business.

Transocean stock ticks up in U.S. premarket as oil rises — what traders watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:18 EST — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares were up 1.3% at $4.27 in premarket trading on Friday. The shares moved with firmer crude, which tends to buoy offshore drillers on bets that higher oil prices keep exploration budgets healthy. Brent was up about 1% and U.S. crude about 0.9% as traders weighed unrest in Iran and uncertainty over Venezuelan supply. “Iran protests seem to be gathering momentum, leading the market to worry about disruptions,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity analysis at Saxo Bank reuters.com.
