Plug Power stock jumps as Clear Street turns bullish — here’s what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:19 ET — Market closed. Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) shares closed at $2.23 on Friday, up about 13% in the last regular session, after a bullish analyst call helped lift sentiment in the beaten-down hydrogen sector. The stock traded between $2.00 and $2.27. The move matters now because Plug’s equity has been trading on a single question: can the company improve unit economics fast enough to narrow losses while keeping financing risks contained. For traders, that sets up a familiar pattern in high-volatility clean-energy names: a modest shift in the “path to profitability” narrative can

Venezuela attack: Chevron, Exxon, refiners and defense stocks to watch as markets reopen

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:04 ET — Market closed U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolás Maduro, setting up a sharp focus on energy and defense names when U.S. markets reopen on Monday.  Reuters The escalation lands as investors enter a new year already fixated on oil supply policy and the risk that geopolitics adds an extra “risk premium” — an extra cushion in prices to reflect potential disruptions.  Reuters Venezuela’s government declared a national emergency after explosions in Caracas and other states, while a U.S. official said Maduro was captured

Venezuela Strikes, Maduro Capture Claim: What Traders Will Watch for Oil, Stocks and the Dollar

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 06:02 ET — Market closed U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday the United States carried out a “large scale strike” against Venezuela and that President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.  Reuters The move matters to markets because Venezuela is an oil producer with exports concentrated in heavy crude, a grade that is harder for refineries to replace quickly. Any disruption can feed into oil prices and, by extension, inflation expectations and interest-rate bets.  The National It also hits at a fragile moment for liquidity: U.S. stock

Markets brace for Monday after U.S. strike on Venezuela: oil, stocks and safe-haven demand in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 06:03 ET — Market closed Investors head into the weekend with a fresh geopolitical jolt after U.S. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela’s government declared a national emergency and denounced what it called U.S. “military aggression,” while Trump said he would give more details at an 11 a.m. press conference.  Reuters The stakes for markets are straightforward: any escalation that threatens crude exports can lift oil prices, while broader uncertainty tends to send money into safe-haven assets such as U.S. Treasuries and gold.

Lockheed Martin stock jumps nearly 3% to start 2026 — contracts, rates and earnings in focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 05:58 ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin Corp stock rose 2.8% at its last close, ending at $497.07 as U.S. markets wrapped the first trading day of 2026. The move matters now because investors are re-positioning for January with defense spending and contract flow back in focus, even as the broader market takes its cues from interest rates. For Lockheed, the world’s largest defense contractor, the stock often tracks both the drumbeat of Pentagon awards and the bigger question of where bond yields are headed.

Disney stock slips to start 2026 — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:01 ET — Market closed. Walt Disney Co shares closed down 1.7% on Friday at $111.85, starting 2026 on a softer note even as the broader market eked out a gain. The early-year dip matters because Disney sits at the crossroads of consumer spending and advertising, two areas investors tend to reprice quickly when interest-rate expectations move. It also puts the focus back on what comes next: whether Disney can keep improving streaming profits while protecting its high-margin parks business, as Wall Street looks for fresh signposts in January and early February.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 05:50 ET — Market closed Occidental Petroleum shares ended Friday up 3.06% at $42.38 after the company completed a $9.7 billion all-cash sale of its OxyChem chemicals business to Berkshire Hathaway.
