Shanghai, Jan 18, 2026, 07:16 CST — Market closed. Zhongji Innolight Co., Ltd reported that its controlling shareholder has wrapped up a planned share sale, according to a filing published after Friday’s close. The update arrives as mainland markets remain closed for the weekend, leaving investors to speculate if the ended selling plan will cool pressure on the stock once trading restarts. This matters because heavy selling by major holders often sets a ceiling in China’s A-share market, where “A shares” are yuan-denominated stocks traded on mainland exchanges. Even when such sales are signaled in advance, traders tend to see

London, Jan 17, 2026, 21:28 GMT — Market closed. Shell Plc shares (SHEL.L) edged higher heading into the weekend following a fresh round of share buybacks and a late-week stabilization in crude prices. (MarketWatch) Energy stocks are behaving like an oil beta trade, reacting sharply to the volatile swings in oil prices driven by geopolitical tensions and chatter over supply changes. A minor shift in Brent often outweighs a full week of corporate news in shaping sentiment. (Reuters) The timing is tight, with Shell’s buyback window open until Jan. 30.

Philip Morris stock price closes higher after $20B U.S. investment filing — what PM investors watch next

New York, January 17, 2026, 14:48 (EST) — Market closed. Philip Morris International (PM.N) shares edged up 0.6% on Friday, finishing at $173.62. The stock fluctuated between $170.76 and $174.24 during the session, with roughly 5.1 million shares traded. The stock’s movement reflects ongoing debate over how much of Philip Morris’ growth hinges on the U.S. market and the pace at which smokers will switch to smoke-free nicotine products.
