AMD stock jumps in premarket as Lisa Su’s CES keynote and key U.S. data come into view

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 05:24 ET — Premarket Advanced Micro Devices shares were up 2.6% at $229.18 in premarket trading on Monday, according to Investing.com data. The stock closed at $223.47 on Friday and remains about 14% below its 52-week high of $267.08. The early move matters because CES is one of the first big “headline” events of the year for chipmakers, where product roadmaps and partner signals can shift expectations quickly. For AMD, any change in tone around AI and PCs can ripple through a stock that has been highly sensitive to growth assumptions. Macro risk sits alongside

ConocoPhillips stock jumps in premarket as Venezuela claim recovery comes back into focus

ConocoPhillips stock jumps in premarket as Venezuela claim recovery comes back into focus

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:55 ET — Premarket ConocoPhillips shares were up 6.5% at $102.99 in premarket trading, according to Public.com data. Premarket trading takes place before the regular U.S. session opens at 9:30 a.m. ET, when liquidity is typically thinner and bid-ask spreads can widen. Public The move follows weekend developments in Venezuela that have put U.S. oil companies’ long-running expropriation claims back on the radar. U.S. officials have told oil executives that a return to Venezuela would likely require significant upfront investment before firms can expect to recover money tied to past nationalizations, two people familiar with

Occidental Petroleum stock rises premarket: OXY climbs after $9.7B OxyChem sale — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:57 ET — Premarket Occidental Petroleum Corp shares rose 1.7% in U.S. premarket trading on Monday, as investors continued to digest the company’s $9.7 billion sale of its chemicals business and looked for clues on how the cash will be deployed. Public The deal matters now because it sharpens Occidental’s focus on its oil-and-gas operations at a time when crude prices are struggling to find direction. The sale also gives management room to address leverage and shareholder returns — two themes that have dominated the stock’s debate since the company’s debt-heavy expansion in recent years.

Fresnillo shares just hit a fresh high — what’s driving the move in FRES.L

Fresnillo shares just hit a fresh high — what’s driving the move in FRES.L

LONDON, Jan 5, 2026, 09:47 GMT — Regular session Fresnillo PLC (FRES.L) shares rose 3.9% to 3,482 pence, after earlier touching 3,522 pence — a fresh 52-week high — in London trading on Monday. London South East The move matters because Fresnillo is tightly geared to precious metals prices. When gold and silver rise, miners’ revenues can jump faster than many operating costs, often amplifying the swing in the share price. That leverage was back in focus as investors rotated into “safe-haven” assets — places to park money when uncertainty rises — after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás

LONDON, Jan 5, 2026, 09:48 GMT — Regular session Prudential shares edged higher on Monday, extending a recent rally and pushing the Asia-focused insurer to a fresh 12-month high in London trade. The stock was up 0.9% at 1,165.5 pence by 0932 GMT after earlier hitting 1,169.5 pence, LSEG data showed. Investors Chronicle The move matters because Prudential has started 2026 with momentum after an 86% gain over the past year, leaving it sensitive to any shift in risk appetite or fresh signals on capital returns. The early push above last week’s highs also puts technical levels back in focus

Hyperscale Data (GPUS) stock jumps 20% in premarket as insider buying keeps spotlight on the microcap

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 04:46 ET — Premarket Hyperscale Data, Inc shares were up 19.6% at $0.3265 in premarket trading on Monday, building on a sharp rally that drove the stock up 48.7% to close at $0.2730 on Friday, when more than 227 million shares changed hands. Investing The move matters because GPUS is a low-priced, high-volatility name where a few cents can swing the stock double digits, drawing short-term traders into any clear catalyst. Friday’s surge and Monday’s early follow-through put the spotlight back on insider activity and the company’s near-term disclosure calendar. A Form 4 filing —

GSK share price today: why the stock dipped after China approved Nucala for COPD

GSK share price today: why the stock dipped after China approved Nucala for COPD

LONDON, Jan 5, 2026, 09:46 GMT — Regular session GSK shares edged lower on Monday after the drugmaker said China’s medicines regulator approved its Nucala treatment for a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The stock was down about 0.3% at 1,825.5 pence by 09:45 GMT.  Investing The China nod matters because it opens a new label for one of GSK’s established respiratory drugs in a market where the company estimates around 100 million people have COPD. GSK said Nucala is the first and only monthly biologic approved in China and evaluated in COPD patients with blood eosinophil counts

RELX share price jumps nearly 2% today as investors look ahead to Feb 12 results

LONDON, Jan 5, 2026, 09:50 GMT — Regular session RELX shares rose 58 pence, or 1.9%, to 3,041 pence by 09:29 GMT, after trading as high as 3,060 pence. The stock is still down 9.4% over the past 52 weeks and remains about 28% below its 12-month high, Financial Times market data showed.  FT Markets The bounce matters because RELX is widely held for its steady, subscription-heavy revenues, making it a go-to “defensive” name when investors want earnings visibility. When it moves sharply early in the year, it can signal portfolio repositioning rather than a single company headline. That repositioning

Halliburton stock rises nearly 5% premarket as Venezuela oil rebuild talk lifts service names

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:40 ET — Premarket Halliburton (HAL.N) shares were up 4.7% at $29.60 in premarket trading on Monday, as oilfield services stocks climbed after weekend developments in Venezuela put future drilling and well-work demand back in focus. The move matters now because any push to restart and expand Venezuelan oil output would require oilfield services — the rigs, crews and equipment that drill wells and complete them, the work that readies a well to start producing. Halliburton is one of the largest suppliers of those services. The rally comes as crude prices sit near $60 and

TSMC stock jumps in premarket after Goldman target hike — what investors watch before earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:29 ET — Premarket Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s U.S.-listed shares rose about 3.4% in premarket trading on Monday, tracking a new record run in Taipei after a bullish Goldman Sachs call on the chipmaker’s artificial-intelligence outlook. Investing The move matters because TSMC sits at the center of the global supply chain for advanced chips used in AI servers, smartphones and other high-end electronics, making its stock a bellwether for the broader semiconductor rally. Investors have been using the start of the year to reprice “AI” exposure across the sector, and TSMC’s ADR is one of

Exxon Mobil stock jumps in premarket on Venezuela headlines — what to watch before the bell

New York, January 5, 2026, 04:29 ET — Premarket Exxon Mobil Corporation shares were up 3.2% at $126.55 in premarket trading on Monday, extending a burst of buying across U.S. oil majors as investors digested fast-moving headlines tied to Venezuela. Exxon traded between $126.26 and $127.38 in early extended-hours dealing; Chevron and ConocoPhillips were also sharply higher. Public The moves matter because Venezuela sits atop the world’s largest proven crude reserves, and any shift in access — or U.S. policy — can quickly change expectations for future supply, sanctions risk and cash recoveries for companies that have battled Caracas for

Silver price jumps on Maduro capture as SLV comes into focus ahead of U.S. jobs report

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 03:46 ET — Market closed Silver prices jumped nearly 4% on Monday as investors reached for safe-haven assets—those bought when uncertainty spikes—after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Spot silver rose 3.9% to $75.50 per ounce by 0742 GMT, after hitting a record $83.62 on Dec. 29 and ending 2025 up 147%. “The kidnapping of a foreign head of state naturally leads to high degrees of instability,” said Tim Waterer, KCM Trade’s chief market analyst. Reuters The move matters for U.S. stock-market traders because the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) holds physical bullion and
