Eaton stock slips after Barclays cuts target as rate bets stay in play

GE Aerospace stock slides 4% after early pop as Boeing MAX 10, earnings loom

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 14:29 EST — Regular session GE Aerospace shares fell about 4% on Thursday afternoon, wiping out an early climb and pulling the stock back into the low-$300s.

The move matters because investors are walking into a tight cluster of near-term catalysts that can swing expectations for engine makers.

EQT stock slides as U.S. natural gas prices fall after big storage draw

XRP price slips after WisdomTree pulls SEC filing — and Friday’s jobs report looms

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 14:34 EST — Regular session XRP fell on Thursday after WisdomTree asked U.S. regulators to pull its registration for a proposed XRP fund, a filing that traders read as a small but real check on the rush to wrap crypto in stock-market products. XRP was down about 1.8% at $2.14, after trading as low as $2.07 and as high as $2.19. SEC The filing matters because exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, have become the easiest on-ramp for large pools of capital that still won’t touch tokens directly.

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 13:46 EST — Regular session Home Depot shares climbed 3.5% to $361.25 at 1:46 p.m. EST on Thursday, lifting a Dow-heavy lineup even as the tech-heavy Nasdaq was under pressure. The S&P 500 tracker was little changed while the Nasdaq 100 ETF slipped about 0.7%. The bounce matters because Home Depot sits close to the fault line between rates, jobs and home spending, and traders are trying to pin down how fast that cycle turns. Weekly jobless claims edged up to 208,000, while a Chicago Fed estimate put December’s unemployment rate at 4.6% ahead of
