AMD stock jumps in premarket as CES 2026 and fresh AI demand signals reset the trade

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:15 ET — Premarket Shares of Advanced Micro Devices rose 4.3% in premarket trading on Monday, leading early gains in AI chip stocks. Nvidia added 1.2% and Taiwan Semiconductor’s U.S.-listed shares rose 5.2%. The move puts fresh attention on the AI hardware trade as the CES technology show gets underway in Las Vegas. Investors want clearer signals on product roadmaps and whether data-center demand is still expanding at a pace that justifies premium valuations. The backdrop is uneasy.

Alien-signal hunt finds nothing from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after Green Bank scan

Alien-signal hunt finds nothing from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after Green Bank scan

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:15 ET A search for possible technosignatures — potential signs of advanced technology — in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS found no credible radio transmissions, Breakthrough Listen researchers reported. The team said its campaign detected no candidate signals down to the 100 milliwatt level. arXiv The finding matters because 3I/ATLAS is a rare visitor from outside the solar system, and scientists had a limited window to scrutinize it as it swept past Earth. NASA says the comet posed no threat and came no closer than about 270 million km (170 million miles), after being reported to

XRP price holds above $2 as XRP “stock” ETFs jump; traders eye U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 03:48 ET — Market closed XRP traded above the $2 mark early Monday, up about 2.9% at $2.14, as the crypto market started the week on a firmer footing.

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 03:46 ET — Market closed Silver prices jumped nearly 4% on Monday as investors reached for safe-haven assets—those bought when uncertainty spikes—after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Spot silver rose 3.9% to $75.50 per ounce by 0742 GMT, after hitting a record $83.62 on Dec. 29 and ending 2025 up 147%. “The kidnapping of a foreign head of state naturally leads to high degrees of instability,” said Tim Waterer, KCM Trade’s chief market analyst.

Gold price jumps on Venezuela shock; Barrick, Newmont stocks in focus before U.S. open

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 03:52 ET — Market closed. Gold prices vaulted to a one-week high on Monday after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, a jolt that is likely to shape trading in gold-linked stocks once Wall Street opens later.

Exxon Mobil stock faces Monday test as Trump pitches Venezuela oil rebuild for U.S. giants

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 03:46 ET — Market closed Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares are in focus ahead of Monday’s session after President Donald Trump said U.S. oil companies would spend “billions of dollars” to restore Venezuela’s “badly broken” oil infrastructure, hours after Nicolás Maduro was captured and removed by U.S. forces. Analysts cautioned that the effort would run into years of repairs and a U.S. embargo that Trump said remains in place. “It will take tens of billions of dollars to turn that industry around,” said Peter McNally, global head of sector analysts at Third Bridge.
