Booking Holdings stock steadies as U.S. visa move keeps travel names on edge (BKNG)

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 14:10 ET — Regular session Booking Holdings Inc. common stock held steady Thursday after slipping the previous day, as investors weighed the U.S. move to suspend immigrant visa processing for dozens of countries and its potential hit to travel demand. This issue is especially urgent now, with online travel agencies playing a key role in cross-border travel. Any shift in U.S. entry, work, or settlement policies can ripple through airline routes, hotel reservations, and the wider travel system. The timing has put inbound travel rules under the microscope with the 2026 World Cup looming across

One policy risk on the horizon is President Donald Trump’s proposal

Silverstock Metals stock jumps 20% as silver’s record run whipsaws traders

Toronto, January 15, 2026, 13:13 EST — Regular session Silverstock Metals shares were last up 20% at C$0.24 on Thursday, extending a sharp run that has followed silver’s lurch toward record highs. TradingView data showed the move over the past 24 hours. (TradingView) The jump matters because small, thinly traded “silver stocks” often act like a lever on the metal: when the commodity moves fast, money tends to chase anything with “silver” exposure in the name or story. That can cut both ways. Silver itself has been hard to pin down. Spot silver — the price for immediate delivery —

AST SpaceMobile stock flirts with $100 as Zacks’ “Bear of the Day” clashes with satellite bulls

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:56 EST Shares of AST SpaceMobile climbed roughly 4% Thursday, hovering near $99 amid sharply divided opinions on the satellite-to-smartphone firm’s valuation and execution risks. The tug-of-war is crucial now as “direct-to-device” connectivity—satellites linking regular smartphones without cell towers—shifts from demos to early commercial rollout. This shift has pushed what was once a niche telecom gamble into the spotlight for retail investors and telecom executives alike. AST plans to roll out 45 to 60 satellites in 2026, a milestone its supporters believe could transform coverage in rural and remote regions. Skeptics, however, warn this ambitious
