Gold Fields stock jumps as gold breaks $4,600; CPI and earnings in focus

Gold Fields stock jumps as gold breaks $4,600; CPI and earnings in focus

New York, January 12, 2026, 14:16 EST — Regular session Gold Fields shares rose Monday, lifted by a strong surge in gold prices that boosted the entire sector. Shares of the South African miner climbed 6.7% to $48.73 in New York, having hit $49.58 earlier in the session. This matters because miners usually magnify gold’s price swings: their revenue adjusts quickly with the metal’s value, but many operating costs lag behind. That can push cash-flow forecasts up sharply — only to pull them back down just as fast. The move comes amid a nervy macro backdrop. Traders are switching back

UnitedHealth stock slides after Senate Medicare report; UNH investors eye Jan. 27 outlook

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 13:48 EST — Regular session Shares of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated dropped Monday following a U.S. Senate report accusing the insurer of using aggressive tactics to boost Medicare Advantage payments.

(Reuters) The report arrives amid heightened scrutiny of managed-care stocks, with investors digesting the potential for stricter oversight and more payment changes in Medicare Advantage—a key revenue driver for the sector. UnitedHealth plans to reveal its 2026 outlook later this month, and any signals that audits or repayments could increase usually rattle investor confidence early on.

Cisco stock slips as Supreme Court case and inflation data loom — what to know about CSCO

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:53 EST — Regular session underway. Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) shares slipped slightly Monday, as a U.S. Supreme Court docket update renewed focus on a lawsuit alleging the company helped Chinese authorities surveil Falun Gong practitioners. Early afternoon trading saw the stock down roughly 0.2% at $73.73. (SCOTUSblog) The legal cloud looms at a tricky time for shareholders: Cisco is known as a reliable, dividend-paying tech stock, but the market has grown jittery about anything linked to risk appetite. A Supreme Court review won’t affect Cisco’s daily sales, yet it could alter how investors factor headline

Roughly 213,000 shares traded hands. The jump counts because Powell’s moves have turned into a gauge of whether funds are still betting on U.S. electrification and heavy industry spending. With shares hovering near recent peaks, new buying often hits quickly — and can reverse just as fast. Powell outpaced the modest 0.5% gain in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund. Eaton shares climbed 1.1%, Vertiv jumped 3.7%, nVent increased

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:22 EST — Regular session Shares of VNET Group, Inc (VNET) climbed roughly 9.6% to $11.43 by early afternoon on Monday, building on a strong recovery in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks.

ServiceNow stock steadies after Goldman’s fresh “Buy” call as earnings near

The shares last traded around $142.06, up about 0.2%. This matters as the workflow software company has been hovering near the low end of its recent trading range, making investors uneasy about the next move.

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:58 PM ET — Regular session Eos Energy Enterprises shares surged almost 10% Monday, hitting $16.76 by midday and pushing the battery producer back onto momentum watchlists after a strong start.
