UK stock market today: FTSE 100 slips on Shell warning as defence stocks jump

London, January 8, 2026, 11:24 GMT — Regular session UK shares eased on Thursday after Shell slid on a downbeat trading update, even as defence names ran higher on fresh bets on military spending. The FTSE 100, London’s blue-chip index, was down 0.3% by 10:40 GMT and the mid-cap FTSE 250 fell 0.4%. Reuters It matters because the market’s first full week of the year is already splitting into clear winners and losers — energy and UK retail on one side, defence on the other — and investors are using every trading statement as a stress test for margins and

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:23 EST — Premarket Applied Digital’s shares slipped 2% to $29.56 in premarket trading on Thursday after the company reported quarterly results and updated investors on its AI data-center buildout.

Intel stock jumps 6% in premarket as CES “Panther Lake” chips put Jan. 22 earnings in focus

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:32 EST — Premarket Intel shares (INTC.O) jumped about 6.4% in premarket trading on Thursday to $42.63, extending a CES-fuelled rally after the company laid out new laptop processors built on its 18A manufacturing process.

Chevron stock slips before the open on Venezuela license talks — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:25 EST — Premarket Chevron stock fell 0.8% to $155.20 in premarket trading on Thursday after Reuters reported the oil major is in talks with the U.S. government to expand a key Venezuela operating license. The potential change could lift exports back toward earlier levels — after they were cut to about 100,000 barrels per day in December from roughly 250,000 earlier in the year — and allow Chevron to sell Venezuelan crude beyond its own refineries, sources familiar with the talks said. Reuters The negotiations land as Washington presses ahead with a plan to

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:25 EST — Premarket Meta Platforms (META.O) shares slipped 0.4% in premarket trading on Thursday after China said it would assess and investigate the company’s acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus.

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:41 (EST) — Premarket Nvidia shares rose about 1% to $189.11 in premarket trade on Thursday after sources said the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers of its H200 artificial-intelligence chips. The terms leave customers no option to cancel or ask for refunds once an order is placed, the people said.

ASTS stock steady in premarket after Scotiabank downgrade questions AST SpaceMobile valuation

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:26 EST — Premarket AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) shares were little changed in premarket trade on Thursday, after sliding about 12% in the prior session to $85.73 following a Scotiabank downgrade. The call is a reminder that ASTS is trading on big expectations, not current sales. For the next session, traders are likely to keep treating analyst notes and rollout timing as the main price drivers. Scotiabank cut AST SpaceMobile to “Sector Underperform” from “Sector Perform” and set a $45.60 price target, arguing the stock had hit “irrational levels” after a surge that left the company

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:26 ET — Premarket XRP fell about 7% to around $2.09 on Thursday, pulling back after a sharp early-year run for the Ripple-linked token.
