Opendoor (OPEN) stock slips as inflation data and Fed countdown reset the housing-rate trade

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 09:32 EST — The regular session is underway. Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.O) shares dropped roughly 3.4% to $6.77 in early Wednesday trading, pulling back after last week’s strong rally in housing-related stocks. The pullback is significant since Opendoor is closely tied to interest rate movements.

The stock’s recent volatility comes after a Jan. 9 surge in housing-related shares, triggered by President Donald Trump’s directive to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds — specifically mortgage-backed securities linked to home

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:19 ET — After-hours Robinhood Markets shares climbed Tuesday following U.S. inflation figures that came in close to forecasts, fueling speculation the Federal Reserve might begin easing rates before year-end.

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 06:29 EST Bitcoin traded just below $92,000 on Tuesday, pulling back slightly from an earlier dip toward $90,000.
