Shanghai Stock Exchange stock today: Shanghai shares brace for Monday reopen as AI rally builds offshore

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 08:09 ET — Market closed Mainland China’s stock markets are closed for the New Year holiday and are due to reopen on Monday, with offshore gains in Hong Kong’s tech sector setting the cue for Shanghai’s next session. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose 2.2% by the midday break on Friday, while its tech index jumped 3.4% as AI-related shares outperformed. mint The Shanghai Composite last closed on December 31 at 3,968.84, up 0.09% on the day, and has gained 18.41% over the past year, according to FT data. The index ended 2025 within a

Micron stock jumps 10% on a Wall Street target hike — what Nasdaq traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 08:05 ET — Market closed Micron Technology (MU) shares climbed 10.5% to $315.42 at Friday’s close after Bernstein SocGen Group lifted its price target on the Nasdaq-listed memory-chip maker to $330. “AI makes data center demand balloon but supply expansion takes time,” Bernstein analyst Mark Li wrote. The Motley Fool The sharp move matters because investors are treating memory pricing as an early-2026 scorecard for the “AI infrastructure” trade. DRAM — short-term “working” memory used in servers and PCs — is a key profit driver when prices rise faster than costs. It also sets the

Opendoor stock today jumps 4% — what moved OPEN and what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:27 ET — Market closed. Opendoor Technologies Inc shares rose 4.1% to $6.07 at Friday’s close, ending the first U.S. trading session of 2026 with a sharp move in a stock that has stayed sensitive to shifts in risk appetite. MarketWatch The rally matters now because Opendoor sits at the intersection of housing demand and interest rates — two variables investors are re-pricing at the start of a new year. Higher rates tend to cool homebuying and refinancing activity, while lower rates can help transactions and demand. The company also entered 2026 with key leadership

Rigetti Computing (RGTI) stock jumps 6.6% as insiders flag a proposed sale — what’s next for traders

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:29 ET — Market closed Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI) shares ended Friday up 6.6% at $23.60, with about 37.3 million shares traded. The move put the quantum-computing developer back on traders’ screens at the start of a year expected to bring a steady flow of economic data and corporate earnings that can reset appetite for risk. Quantum stocks have tended to trade more like sentiment gauges than cash-flow stories, swinging on expectations for interest rates and the speed at which the technology reaches commercial-scale workloads.

Archer Aviation stock jumps 8% as air-taxi shares rally — what’s driving ACHR now

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:16 ET — Market closed Archer Aviation Inc (ACHR) shares climbed 8.4% in the latest session, closing at $8.13 on Friday. The stock swung between $7.51 and $8.20 and traded about 45 million shares. The jump highlights how quickly sentiment can shift in early-stage aviation plays at the start of the year. Archer is still in development, so much of its valuation rests on expectations for future operations rather than current revenue. Investors also face a packed calendar that could steer interest-rate bets, a key driver for high-growth stocks. “The market is looking for direction,”

American Airlines stock closes higher to start 2026 as oil eases; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:22 ET — Market closed American Airlines Group Inc (AAL.O) shares rose about 1% on Friday, the first U.S. trading session of 2026, ending at $15.48. The stock traded between $15.15 and $15.75, with about 41.2 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because airlines tend to trade as a read-through on consumer demand and the broader economy, and the opening sessions of a new year can magnify shifts in positioning. Fuel costs and interest rates sit near the center of that debate. Jet fuel tracks crude oil, while higher borrowing costs can weigh

Ford stock rises to start 2026 — what investors are watching before Monday’s open

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:01 ET — Market closed Ford Motor Co shares rose 1.68% on Friday to close at $13.34, snapping a four-session losing streak as U.S. stocks began 2026 on a firmer note. The stock ended about 4.7% below its 52-week high of $13.99 set in mid-December, and trading volume of 46.3 million shares came in well below its 50-day average. MarketWatch The rebound leaves Ford near the top of its recent range at a time when investors are trying to sort out whether the new year brings steadier demand for big-ticket goods — including vehicles —

Amazon stock drops nearly 2% to $226 as 2026 opens — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:59 ET — Market closed Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares ended Friday down 1.9% at $226.50, slipping on the first trading day of 2026 even as the broader market steadied. The stock traded between $224.71 and $235.39, with about 51.5 million shares changing hands. The decline matters now because investors are testing risk appetite at the start of the year, when portfolios often get reshuffled and crowded trades can unwind quickly. Amazon sits in the middle of two big themes — consumer spending and cloud computing — that tend to react fast to changes in the interest-rate

SoFi stock jumps nearly 5% to start 2026 as Jan. 30 earnings date comes into view

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:50 ET — Market closed SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares ended Friday up 4.9% at $27.46, a strong start to 2026 for the fintech lender. U.S. markets are closed on Saturday. Zacks The move puts attention on what comes next: a late-January earnings update and a macro calendar that can move rate-sensitive financial stocks quickly. SoFi’s shares often react to shifts in interest-rate expectations because the company makes consumer loans and funds part of its business through deposits. Next week’s U.S. employment report on Jan. 9 and consumer price index data on Jan. 13 are likely

Palantir stock drops to start 2026 as insider sale notice hits — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:35 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc. shares fell 5.6% on Friday, Jan. 2, to $167.86, marking a weak start to 2026 for the data-analytics software maker. The stock swung between $182.93 and $166.38 in the session, with about 60.6 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because Palantir has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite for “AI” trades — and those trades can unwind fast when the market shifts its focus from growth stories to valuations and rates. The drop also put fresh emphasis on near-term positioning. When a stock finishes

Plug Power stock jumps as Clear Street turns bullish — here’s what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:19 ET — Market closed. Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) shares closed at $2.23 on Friday, up about 13% in the last regular session, after a bullish analyst call helped lift sentiment in the beaten-down hydrogen sector. The stock traded between $2.00 and $2.27. The move matters now because Plug’s equity has been trading on a single question: can the company improve unit economics fast enough to narrow losses while keeping financing risks contained. For traders, that sets up a familiar pattern in high-volatility clean-energy names: a modest shift in the “path to profitability” narrative can

Disney stock slips to start 2026 — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:01 ET — Market closed. Walt Disney Co shares closed down 1.7% on Friday at $111.85, starting 2026 on a softer note even as the broader market eked out a gain. The early-year dip matters because Disney sits at the crossroads of consumer spending and advertising, two areas investors tend to reprice quickly when interest-rate expectations move. It also puts the focus back on what comes next: whether Disney can keep improving streaming profits while protecting its high-margin parks business, as Wall Street looks for fresh signposts in January and early February.
