Intel stock plunges 17% on weak outlook, setting up a tense week for Wall Street

NEW YORK, January 25, 2026, 12:07 ET — The market is now closed. Intel shares fell roughly 17% on Friday, closing near $45.07, following the company’s warning that it is having trouble keeping up with demand for server chips used in AI data centers. The timing couldn’t be more awkward for investors. Chip stocks have essentially become a straight bet on whether the AI buildout will generate profits rather than just costs. The week kicks off Monday, bringing a flood of earnings reports alongside a Federal Reserve meeting that could reshape expectations for rate cuts and influence risk appetite. On

Grab stock price: GoTo takeover snag puts GRAB back on traders’ screens before Monday

NEW YORK, January 24, 2026, 07:31 EST — The market has closed. Grab Holdings Limited shares edged up on Friday, even as new reports suggested its planned acquisition of Indonesian rival GoTo has encountered obstacles. U.S. markets remain closed over the weekend, setting up Monday’s open as the next checkpoint for how merger rumors will impact GRAB. The timing is crucial since any merger would shake up Southeast Asia’s ride-hailing and food delivery sectors—and force regulators to weigh in directly on the deal. Traders, meanwhile, are bracing for Grab’s upcoming earnings report, where the company must demonstrate clearer strides toward

Goldman Sachs stock slides into weekend after CEO pay hits $47 million — what to watch next

New York, Jan 24, 2026, 05:50 EST — Market closed. Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc fell 3.75% to close at $918.88 on Friday, with intraday swings between $917.05 and $937.19. After-hours trading saw little movement, keeping the stock flat. (Investing.com) The decline is significant since Goldman serves as a key Wall Street indicator, with its shifts often influencing broader sentiment around dealmaking and market liquidity. This comes just before a busy week packed with catalysts, a period when traders often crack down on anything that seems like “too much” — whether that’s pricing, risk, or optimism — particularly in

Dow Jones today: Index slides as Goldman, AmEx drag; Intel slump sets up Fed week

NEW YORK, Jan 23, 2026, 10:03 EST — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.52% by mid-morning Friday, losing 256.23 points to sit at 49,127.78. A handful of heavyweight stocks dragged the blue-chip index lower amid ongoing selling pressure. (MarketScreener) U.S. stocks wavered early on before sliding, pressured by Intel’s gloomy forecast that dented risk appetite. Persistent geopolitical tensions also weighed on sentiment as investors headed into the weekend. (Reuters) Why it matters now: next week’s Federal Reserve meeting and a packed earnings schedule could shift how the market values growth. “It’s been a little bit of a

Gold price today: Bullion snaps back toward $5,000 after Thursday dip — Delhi rates, MCX moves, and what’s driving it

BENGALURU, January 23, 2026, 14:39 IST Gold surged to a fresh record Friday, pulling silver and platinum up to their highest marks as safe-haven buying stayed firm. Spot gold ticked up 0.4% to $4,957.10 an ounce by 0536 GMT, after hitting a peak of $4,966.59. Kyle Rodda, analyst at Capital.com, linked the rally to a shaken “faith in the U.S. and its assets.” (Reuters) The snapback matters as sentiment flips fast. Investors rushed to adjust risk after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats on Greenland shook markets briefly before calming — a move now rippling through metals, stocks, and currencies.

Mastercard stock slips after Trump revives 10% credit-card cap talk; Brazil card suspension adds edge

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 18:37 EST — Trading after-hours. Shares of Mastercard Inc dropped roughly 0.8% on Wednesday and saw little movement after hours, following renewed White House scrutiny of the credit-card sector. The stock last changed hands at $527.57. The recent surge has left payments stocks on edge, despite the fact that Mastercard doesn’t control credit-card interest rates—that’s up to the banks. Still, investors are lumping it all together, with headline risk driving the volatility. Visa shares slipped roughly 0.2% late Wednesday. At the same time, American Express climbed around 2.1%, highlighting the market’s ongoing debate over who

XRP price rebounds near $2 as Ripple-DXC deal and Fed data loom

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 17:15 EST — Trading after hours XRP price jumped roughly 4.7% to near $1.98 on Wednesday, recovering a good chunk of Tuesday’s drop after hitting a low of $1.87 earlier in the day. It remains far from its 52-week peak close to $3.66. (Investing.com) The bounce is significant since XRP is once again acting like a levered stand-in for risk appetite—sharp moves, little tolerance. In such conditions, headlines tend to pack more punch than usual. Ripple-related corporate news drew attention during the day. DXC Technology announced a strategic partnership with Ripple aimed at helping banks

T-Mobile stock price slides to a fresh 52-week low as tariff jitters hit Wall Street

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 14:19 EST — Regular session T-Mobile US, Inc. shares slipped about 0.7% to $184.97 by mid-afternoon Tuesday, after touching a new 52-week low of $184.04 earlier. The stock traded in a range from $184.04 to $186.82 on volume near 3.7 million shares. The drop puts extra pressure on a stock investors often view as a more stable telecom option, even in volatile markets. Adding to the uncertainty, a fee change affecting certain customer bills kicks in Wednesday, with a quarterly update due in February. U.S. stocks dropped sharply after President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs
