EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas prices fall on warmer forecast — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:41 ET — Market closed EQT Corp shares finished the first trading day of 2026 lower after U.S. natural gas futures slipped on forecasts for milder weather across the country. The largest U.S. gas producer closed down 0.3% at $53.46 on Friday. Baird Maritime / Work Boat World The move matters because January is the heart of the U.S. heating season, when small shifts in temperature forecasts can swing demand and, by extension, gas prices and producer margins. Traders are also weighing record supply against the export pull from LNG terminals. Baird Maritime / Work

U.S. strike puts Venezuela natural gas in the spotlight as Eni says operations unaffected

U.S. strike puts Venezuela natural gas in the spotlight as Eni says operations unaffected

CARACAS, Jan 4, 2026, 12:46 ET Italy’s Eni said on Sunday its natural gas operations in Venezuela have not been affected by Saturday’s U.S. strikes that captured President Nicolas Maduro, as energy companies assessed security and sanctions risk after Washington said it would oversee a political transition.  Reuters The scramble matters because U.S. sanctions cover Venezuela’s oil and gas sector, forcing foreign operators to rely on U.S. authorizations — licenses that dictate whether projects can move, pay PDVSA, or export supplies. One of the biggest near-term prizes is gas, not crude: planned cross-border volumes that Trinidad and Tobago has sought

Pegasystems stock slides 6% to start 2026 as insider sale filing lands — what’s next for PEGA

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Pegasystems Inc shares closed down 6.1% on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 at $56.06. Yahoo Finance The drop matters heading into Monday because it put PEGA back on traders’ screens just as investors reprice rate-sensitive software names. Markets also face a heavy early-January U.S. data calendar that can move Treasury yields, a key input for growth-stock valuations. Reuters A late U.S. filing adds a fresh overhang.

Bitcoin price back above $91,000 as ETF inflows put Coinbase, Strategy stocks in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:36 ET — Market closed Bitcoin climbed back above $91,000 on Sunday, extending a new-year rebound that lifted crypto-linked stocks and U.S.-listed bitcoin funds in the first session of 2026. With U.S. stock markets shut for the weekend, the move still matters for holders of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — listed funds that hold bitcoin and trade like stocks — and for companies whose shares tend to track the token’s swings. It also lands ahead of a busy U.S. macro week that could reset interest-rate expectations, a key driver for risk assets from tech

Venezuela oil exports freeze after U.S. Maduro raid: PDVSA warns of output cuts

Venezuela oil exports freeze after U.S. Maduro raid: PDVSA warns of output cuts

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 12:39 ET Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA has asked some joint ventures to cut crude output as exports remain frozen after U.S. forces captured President Nicolas Maduro in a raid on Saturday, three people close to the decision said on Sunday. The move includes shutting oilfields or well clusters as onshore stocks rise and PDVSA runs short of diluents — light petroleum liquids used to thin extra-heavy crude so it can be shipped.  Reuters The export standstill matters because oil sales are Venezuela’s main source of hard-currency revenue, and storage fills quickly when tankers cannot

Silver price stock today: SLV jumps as bullion steadies, jobs report set to test rally

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:32 ET — Market closed iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a silver-backed exchange-traded fund that tracks bullion prices, ended Friday at $65.75, up 2.06%, as precious metals opened 2026 on firmer footing. MarketWatch The move matters because silver has become a high-volatility macro trade after a record 2025 run, with price action increasingly tied to U.S. rate expectations and the dollar. Reuters reported silver rose more than 147% in 2025, supported by supply constraints and strong industrial and investment demand. Reuters On Friday, spot silver rose 1.6% to $72.39 an ounce and spot gold gained 0.36%

Oil prices in focus after U.S. Venezuela strike: Brent, WTI set for volatile reopen

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:52 ET Oil traders were braced for a volatile open on Sunday after Venezuela’s state-run PDVSA asked some joint ventures to cut crude output as a U.S. oil embargo froze exports following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro in a strike on Saturday, sources said. The company pointed to swelling inventories and a shortage of diluents — lighter oil used to thin heavy crude for shipment — the sources said.  Reuters Brent crude, the international benchmark, last settled at $60.75 a barrel on Friday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at $57.32.

Maduro captured in U.S. strike: what happens next for Venezuela’s oil, politics and markets

WASHINGTON, January 4, 2026, 12:47 ET Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA has asked several joint ventures to curb crude production as exports grind to a halt under a U.S. tanker blockade, three people close to the decision said on Sunday. The move adds pressure to an interim administration in Caracas after U.S. forces captured President Nicolas Maduro and flew him to New York to face drug charges, U.S. officials said.  Reuters Oil exports are Venezuela’s main source of hard currency, and PDVSA’s partners include Chevron and China’s CNPC, turning the disruption into a test of whether Washington can translate Saturday’s

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:15 ET — Market closed Bank of America Corp shares rose 1.7% on Friday to close at $55.95, marking a firmer start to 2026 for the U.S. lender’s stock. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The move matters because Wall Street is heading into big-bank earnings season with interest-rate expectations still driving day-to-day swings in financial stocks. Bank of America is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

SailPoint Investor The drop matters now because software stocks that trade on future growth tend to swing with interest-rate expectations, and investors face a packed U.S. data calendar in the first full week of 2026.

CrowdStrike stock drops 3% to start 2026 — here’s what Wall Street watches next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:04 ET — Market closed CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. shares ended Friday down 3.2%, closing at $453.58 as the cybersecurity group lagged in the first U.S. session of 2026. The pullback matters because high-growth software stocks tend to move with interest-rate expectations, and the market is heading into a data-heavy week that can reset views on the economy and Federal Reserve policy. It also comes as investors rebalance early in the year, when flows can amplify moves in crowded trades — a dynamic that can hit richly valued cybersecurity names even without company-specific headlines.
