PepsiCo stock ticks up as UBS trims target and inflation keeps investors on edge

PepsiCo stock ticks up as UBS trims target and inflation keeps investors on edge

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:28 EST — Regular session Shares of PepsiCo (PEP.O) climbed roughly 0.6%, reaching $146.8 in afternoon trading Thursday. This matters since PepsiCo stands as a key consumer-staples bellwether, with investors now debating how much “pricing power” remains as shoppers continue trading down. Investors are turning their attention to the company’s upcoming earnings, hoping for updated data on U.S. snack volumes, promotions, and margins following months of discussion around affordability. U.S. stocks climbed Thursday, fueled by a chip sector rally that ended a two-day skid. Investors shifted focus away from the largest tech giants. “Stocks are

Bitcoin breaks $96,000 as U.S. crypto regulation bill and softer inflation data lift prices

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 14:09 (EST) Bitcoin climbed Wednesday, reclaiming the $96,000 mark as ether and XRP also saw gains among leading tokens. The move mattered because U.S. inflation data kept the Federal Reserve on a familiar path: no rush, but not done. The Consumer Price Index climbed 0.3% in December and was up 2.7% year-over-year. Core inflation — excluding food and energy — rose 0.2% for the month and 2.6% annually, driven largely by rents and food. “Families may not closely track core inflation, but they see grocery prices,” said Sung Won Sohn, a finance and economics professor

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

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. Mortgage rates influence homebuyer demand, and because Opendoor keeps homes in inventory, its financing costs are directly affected. 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

National Grid share price: what to know before London reopens after BoE signal

7 February 2026
London, Feb 7, 2026, 08:55 GMT — Market closed. National Grid shares (NG.L) last closed at 1,285 pence on Friday, a 0.23% gain on the session.
