Sydney, Jan 14, 2026, 17:41 AEDT — After-hours Shares of Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX) slipped 0.6% to close at A$38.28 on Wednesday, dragging along Australia’s major banks despite the broader market holding firm.

Freeport-McMoRan stock tags new high as Wall Street lifts targets on copper, with earnings next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 21:30 EST — Market closed Shares of Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) hit a new 52-week high on Tuesday, building on a strong January rally fueled by a tight copper supply and positive broker commentary. The copper miner serves as a key proxy for the metal within U.S. equities. Copper finds its way into power cables, construction projects, and electric vehicles.

Super Micro Computer stock slides after Goldman’s ‘Sell’ call puts margins back in the spotlight

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 20:42 ET — Market closed. Shares of Super Micro Computer dropped 5% on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs issued a bearish call, reigniting concerns over the AI server maker’s profitability.
