Macquarie stock slips into the weekend — what investors watch next for ASX:MQG

Macquarie stock slips into the weekend — what investors watch next for ASX:MQG

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:09 AEDT — Market closed. Macquarie Group shares ended Friday down 1.25% at A$206.08, leaving the stock up 2.8% so far this year after the first full week of trading. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.33% to 8,717.8. That matters now because Macquarie tends to trade on a mix of rate expectations and risk appetite. When investors get jumpy about inflation, bond yields and credit spreads, the market often marks down the parts of the business most tied to trading conditions and deal flow. One new talking point sits in its asset-management arm. PitchBook reported Macquarie Asset

Westpac shares (ASX:WBC) in focus after bushfire relief package as rate outlook shifts

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:14 AEDT — Market closed Westpac Banking Corp said on Saturday it would roll out a disaster relief package for customers affected by Victorian bushfires, days after its shares slipped with the broader bank sector. (Mirage News) The move lands as fires burn across parts of Victoria and force evacuations, lifting scrutiny on household cash flow, small-business closures and the risk that missed payments turn into bigger losses for lenders. (The Guardian) Rates are the other live wire. Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser said inflation was “still too high,” reinforcing that the next

Caterpillar stock near highs after jobs report, with tariffs and CPI next in focus

Caterpillar stock near highs after jobs report, with tariffs and CPI next in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 21:15 EST — Market closed. Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:CAT) shares climbed 1.56%, ending Friday at $617.62. The gain came amid a broad rally that lifted the S&P 500 to a record high. (MarketWatch) The move matters because Caterpillar straddles the divide between interest rates and real-economy spending. When borrowing costs drop, orders for expensive equipment usually become more palatable; but when trade policies tighten, supply chains and final demand can wobble. Friday’s mood on the market hinged on a jobs report revealing slower hiring alongside a drop in unemployment, complicating predictions for the Fed’s next step.

Coherent stock snaps back after steep slide as jobs data lifts tech — what COHR traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 20:55 EST — Market closed Coherent Corp. shares closed up 2.84% at $178.06 on Friday, clawing back some ground a day after the stock slid 9.64% in a sharp reversal that jolted the week’s highfliers. The stock traded between $167.50 and $181.55 in the session, with volume of about 5.46 million shares. (StockAnalysis) The whipsaw matters because Coherent sits in the AI-linked hardware chain and tends to move with shifts in risk appetite and rate bets, especially when the Nasdaq is pressing highs. The S&P 500 ended Friday up 0.6% and the Nasdaq Composite gained

Synopsys stock climbs into weekend on chip rally; insider sale filing in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 20:46 EST — Market closed Shares of Synopsys Inc climbed 2.1% on Friday, closing at $525.18. The chip-design software company saw a volatile start to 2026 but gained momentum with a semiconductor sector rally late in the week. The move came as U.S. stocks hit new highs following a weaker-than-expected December jobs report, keeping hopes for rate cuts alive. Meanwhile, the PHLX semiconductor index surged to a record peak. “On the overall AI theme, investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers in terms of sub-themes and individual names,” said Zachary Hill, head

AbbVie stock slips after $1.3 billion R&D charge and Revolution Medicines rumor — what investors watch next

New York, January 9, 2026, 20:18 (EST) — Market closed AbbVie Inc. shares dropped 1.8% on Friday, closing at $220.08. The decline followed the drugmaker’s decision to lower its 2025 earnings forecast and a denial of reports suggesting it was in talks to acquire cancer-drug developer Revolution Medicines. Since 2023, AbbVie has spent over $20 billion on acquisitions, aiming to offset the impact from Humira’s patent expiration. (Reuters) The updated forecast is crucial since AbbVie’s deals aim to replace lost growth, and this charge came late in the year when investors were already preparing for a rough transition from aging

The stock fluctuated between $69.12 and $70.42 throughout the day. (Yahoo Finance) Investors reacted to a U.S. jobs report revealing slower hiring in December alongside a slight drop in the unemployment rate, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady this month. “The market is going to be looking forward to what’s going to happen with interest rates and earnings,” said Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 19:24 EST — After-hours SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares closed down 1.1% at $27.40 on Friday and were last hovering near that level in late trading, after a week of choppy moves that left the stock out of step with the broader market’s record run. (StockAnalysis) The selling pressure has tracked a stock offering that increased the share count at a time when sentiment had been leaning heavily on growth. In an 8-K filing, the company said it sold 57,754,660 shares at $27.50 each after the banks running the deal exercised a 30-day option — often
