Blackstone stock closes higher as Barclays trims target; CPI and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 17:06 EST — Market closed Blackstone Inc (BX.N) shares climbed 1.5% on Friday, closing at $157.62 after fluctuating between $154 and $158.26 during the session. Barclays cut its price target slightly to $171 from $172 but maintained an “equal weight” rating, signaling a neutral stance on the stock. This shift is significant since Blackstone operates where markets meet dealmaking. Once stocks and credit stabilize, exits become smoother and fundraising usually picks up. Timing plays a role too. Investors are aligning macro data with the kickoff of earnings season, hunting for any rate fluctuations that might

AppLovin (APP) stock jumps 5% into next week as Wells Fargo lifts target and CPI looms

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 16:27 EST — Market closed AppLovin shares jumped roughly 5% in the last session, closing Friday around $647.72 after moving between about $612 and $650. The rebound is significant since the stock is caught between two forces: ad demand trends and shifts in interest-rate expectations. Inflation figures due next week could shake Treasury yields, which in turn influence appetite for high-growth stocks. For AppLovin, the immediate focus isn’t on launching new products but on whether demand stays strong in mobile and web advertising—and how that will affect guidance. Traders have been quick to sell off

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 16:18 EST — Market closed McDonald’s Corp shares slipped 0.5% on Friday to $307.32, after trading between $304.62 and $309.48. Truist Securities raised its price target — an analyst estimate of where the stock could trade — to $356 from $350 and kept a buy rating, flagging “temporary tailwinds” from tax refunds and weather even as it warned of pressure from slower job growth and commodity inflation. (TipRanks) The timing matters. U.S. investors head into a data-heavy week that could reshape how the market reads consumer demand and restaurant costs, with the December consumer price

China Mobile Limited Class A stock (600941) holds at 100 yuan as China inflation heats up, loan data looms

SHANGHAI, Jan 11, 2026, 04:58 GMT+8 — Market closed China Mobile Limited’s Class A shares (600941.SS) closed flat at 100.12 yuan on Friday, lagging behind the Shanghai Composite, which gained 0.92%. (SSE) The split is crucial at the moment as telecom stocks in China have been behaving like defensive income assets. Yet, fresh macro data is shaking up rate expectations. Once trading resumes, investors will be weighing if “high yield and stable” suffices or if a stronger growth narrative is necessary. China’s consumer price index climbed 0.8% in December year-on-year, while the producer price index, tracking factory-gate prices, dropped 1.9%,

Siemens stock set for Monday focus after AI data-centre power pilot, Fitch ratings notice

FRANKFURT, Jan 10, 2026, 21:41 CET — The market has closed. Shares of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft ended Friday in Frankfurt up 0.95%, closing at 254.20 euros. (Investing.com) That holds the stock close to a recent peak following a strong start to the year for German blue chips. Siemens operates in a segment sensitive to rate expectations and the industrial cycle, yet it occasionally gets caught up in the “AI spend” trade as well. Why it matters now: European stocks have hit new peaks as investors pour into sectors tied to infrastructure, semiconductors, and power equipment. On Friday, Germany’s DAX climbed 0.50%,

On Friday, RBC’s U.S. shares slipped 0.2% to close at $169.19, while its Toronto-listed stock edged up 0.2% to C$235.52.

CATL stock: what to watch after an accounting switch filing and an AutoFlight deal

Shanghai, Jan 11, 2026, 04:41 (CST) — Market closed Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) announced it will switch to preparing financial reports solely under China’s accounting standards for both its Shenzhen and Hong Kong listings starting with its 2025 annual report. This marks the end of using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) alongside.

The change comes as CATL establishes its dual listing, aiming to streamline its disclosures. For investors in Hong Kong, this means they’ll see a

The stock rose from 362.90 euros a day earlier and traded between 372.80 and 385.85 euros, leaving it about 5.5% below its 52-week high. (Investing.com) The rally matters now because it lands with investors already looking beyond the first weeks of January and toward L’Oreal’s annual results, where the company will set the tone for 2026.

AmEx (AXP) stock in focus after Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card rates

AmEx (AXP) stock in focus after Trump calls for 10% cap on credit-card rates

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 14:40 EST — Market closed American Express shares enter Monday’s trading under pressure following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, starting Jan. 20. (Barron’s) This move hits at the heart of how the industry prices risk on revolving balances, usually expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR. Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, explained in an email that when firms can’t accurately price risk, they tend to slash credit lines or cut off credit altogether. He pointed out that credit cards are

Hermes stock jumps above €2,200 — analyst trims target, annual results loom

Paris, Jan 10, 2026, 20:37 CET — Market closed Hermes International shares gained 3.7%, closing at 2,217 euros on Friday. The rally pushed the stock back above the 2,200-euro threshold during late trading in Paris. (MarketWatch) That’s significant since Hermes occupies the pricey top tier of Europe’s luxury sector. The stock reacts to even minor tweaks in growth expectations, not only major shocks. No new product launch or earnings update arrived this week. Instead, the spotlight was on a broker-led valuation reset and a standard disclosure about the company’s own-share trading practices. Hermes reported on Thursday that its liquidity contract

Goldman Sachs shares ended Friday 0.4% higher at $938.98, recovering from a volatile start to the year and staying close to their early-January peaks.
