Bitcoin price nears $94,000 as Strategy buy boosts Coinbase and crypto stocks

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:59 EST — Regular session Bitcoin climbed on Monday morning as crypto-linked stocks rallied after Strategy disclosed another bitcoin purchase and investors weighed the market impact of Washington’s dramatic move in Venezuela. Bitcoin was up 2.4% at $93,501 by 9:59 a.m. EST. SEC The move matters now because bitcoin is starting the first full trading week of 2026 with geopolitics back on the tape and a run of U.S. data that can quickly reset interest-rate expectations. That mix has been driving sharp swings across “risk” assets — markets that tend to rise when investors feel

Micron stock just set another record — Bernstein’s $330 target is keeping the AI-memory trade hot

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:03 (EST) Micron Technology shares set a fresh record in early trading on Monday, touching $328.44 before reversing and turning lower. The stock was down about 0.7% at $313.12 in late morning trade. The swing shows how quickly sentiment is shifting around memory chips — the DRAM that acts as a computer’s working memory and NAND, the flash storage used in everything from servers to smartphones. Investors are trying to pin down a simple question with an annoyingly non-simple answer: is this another classic memory upcycle that fades, or a tighter, AI-driven market where prices

SLB stock jumps 8% as Venezuela upheaval lifts oilfield-services names ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 09:52 EST SLB shares jumped about 8% in early New York trading on Monday, tracking a sharp rally across oilfield-services stocks. The shares were up $3.25 at $43.45 at 9:40 a.m. ET, while Halliburton gained about 7.5% and Baker Hughes rose about 4.7%.

Silver price surges lift SLV stock nearly 5% as Venezuela shock sparks safe-haven rush

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:56 EST — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust, a silver-backed exchange-traded fund that trades like a stock, jumped 4.7% to $68.81 in early New York dealing.

Reuters It also landed as traders reset interest-rate bets for the new year. Precious metals

Palantir stock rebounds, but fresh commentary warns PLTR’s valuation may bite harder

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:45 EST Palantir Technologies shares were up about 3% in early New York trading on Monday, rebounding from last week’s slide as investors re-priced how much they are willing to pay for the software maker’s AI narrative. The timing matters because the first week of a new year often forces a reset in positioning, especially in high-multiple technology names. Palantir’s rise has made it one of the most closely watched bellwethers for whether enthusiasm around artificial intelligence can stay ahead of valuation gravity. The push and pull is now less about whether Palantir can sell

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:39 EST — Regular session Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares slipped 0.3% to $271.01 in early trading on Monday, as investors weighed fresh signals from a key iPhone assembler and a rival’s aggressive push into AI-enabled phones.

Halliburton stock pops nearly 5% premarket as Trump’s Venezuela move jolts oilfield services

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 09:27 (ET) Halliburton shares jumped about 4.7% to $29.60 in premarket trading on Monday, extending a rally across oilfield-services names after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled a push to reopen Venezuela’s oil industry. Source The spike matters because a Venezuelan oil rebuild, if it proceeds, would require the drilling, pumping and well-completion work that service firms sell — and it would arrive as investors reset expectations for 2026 upstream spending. It also drops into a market that has been short on clear catalysts for oilfield services, where growth has increasingly depended on large international projects
