NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 09:52 ET — Market closed Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O) shares closed up about 4.3% at $223.47 on Friday, after trading between $217.01 and $227.05 with roughly 36.4 million shares changing hands.

B3 stock slips to R$13.43 as São Paulo’s exchange reopens; Copom and inflation in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 09:35 ET — Market closed. Shares of exchange operator B3 (B3SA3) closed at 13.43 reais on Friday, down 3.3% from the Dec. 30 close. The move matters because B3 is a bellwether for Brazil’s capital-markets activity at the start of a new year, when investors reset positioning and liquidity normalizes after holidays. Part of Friday’s decline was mechanical. B3 traded ex-dividend — meaning new buyers will not receive the latest cash payout — and the last ex-dividend date was Jan. 2 with a cash amount of 0.3222 real per share, StockAnalysis.com data showed.

Broadcom stock holds near $350 after chip rally — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 09:58 ET — Market closed Broadcom Inc. shares closed Friday up 0.4% at $347.62, finishing near the middle of a $345.61-to-$360.56 range. U.S. markets are shut on Sunday and reopen on Monday. The move matters now because Broadcom has become a bellwether for AI infrastructure spending, and the stock often trades with the broader semiconductor group on shifts in risk appetite. Rate expectations are also back in play as the first full week of 2026 brings heavy U.S. economic data, a key driver of valuations for AI-linked megacaps.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:50 ET — Market closed Meta Platforms, Inc. shares ended Friday down $9.47, or 1.4%, at $650.41, extending a slide at the start of 2026. With U.S. markets closed on Sunday, investors are turning to a packed U.S. data calendar for the next directional cue when trading resumes. Reuters That matters for Meta and other big technology companies because rate expectations can shift how much investors are willing to pay for future earnings. Lower borrowing costs typically support higher stock valuations, while higher yields can pressure them. Reuters On Friday, the Dow and S&P 500

Palantir stock tumbles to start 2026 — insider sale plan and Feb. 2 earnings date in focus (PLTR)

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:31 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies’ shares fell 5.6% in the last regular session, closing at $167.86 on Friday. A filing after the close showed a company officer filed a notice to sell stock, putting insider activity back in focus heading into Monday’s reopening. SEC The drop matters now because Palantir has been one of the market’s more closely watched AI-linked software names, and early-year positioning can amplify moves after a strong prior-year run. Commentary carried by Nasdaq.com pointed to profit-taking and a rotation out of software as the year opened. Nasdaq Friday’s broader

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 09:34 ET — Market closed Shares of JSE Ltd (JSEJ.J), operator of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, last closed up 1.47% at 145.54 rand on Friday, with about 125,000 shares traded. MarketScreener data showed the stock sits below an average analyst target price of 154.50 rand. MarketScreener The move matters because JSE’s earnings are closely tied to market activity: it collects fees from listings, trading and post-trade services such as clearing and settlement, and it sells market data. When volumes pick up after holidays or volatility rises, exchange operators typically see more fee income. Reuters Investors

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:30 ET — Market closed Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) shares ended Friday down 1.9% at $226.50, setting the tone for the e-commerce and cloud heavyweight heading into Monday’s open. In after-hours trading, the stock was little changed at $226.65. Google The move matters because Amazon is a bellwether for two big themes investors are repricing at the start of 2026: consumer demand and the cost of money.
