DHT Holdings stock faces Monday test as oil rally and VLCC rates collide

DHT Holdings stock faces Monday test as oil rally and VLCC rates collide

New York, January 11, 2026, 20:46 (EST) — Market closed DHT Holdings Inc shares dipped a bit on Friday, but as the U.S. session opens Monday, it’s broader macro news that’s driving the action for the crude tanker owner. For DHT, freight rates are the immediate indicator. The company operates a fleet of VLCCs, and its earnings fluctuate with spot tanker rates — the daily cost to haul crude — which can spike when trade routes change or vessels become congested. Oil markets have grown restless again. Shifts in crude prices and export paths can swiftly ripple into tanker demand.

Apple stock eyes January 29 earnings after rare losing streak; Evercore lifts target, keeps “top pick”

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 19:13 (EST) — Market closed. Apple shares ended Friday near $259.37, ticking up about 0.1% from the previous close. That slight gain follows a rough start to the year, with the stock recovering from a rare losing streak. (Yahoo Finance) Why this matters now: Apple approaches its late-January earnings report amid a tug-of-war. Some investors back the “services-and-buybacks” story, while others demand clear signs that iPhone sales remain strong.

Intel stock jumps 11% after Trump meeting comment — what to watch for INTC before earnings

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:14 EST — Market closed. Intel Corp shares (INTC.O) last closed up 10.7% at $45.55 on Friday, after trading as high as $45.73 on unusually heavy volume. The rally helped lift the PHLX semiconductor index (.SOX) 2.7% to a record high. (Reuters) That jump matters now because it lands just ahead of Intel’s next earnings report, when investors will want less talk and more proof that the turnaround is showing up in orders, margins and execution. Intel is due to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after the close on Jan. 22. (Newsroom) Friday’s push

Boeing stock heads into Monday after FAA moves 737 MAX 10 closer to approval — but a key snag remains

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 18:06 EST — Market closed. Boeing’s (BA.N) 737 MAX 10 edged closer to U.S. certification after the Federal Aviation Administration gave the green light for a second phase of flight testing, according to someone familiar with the program. This approval doesn’t extend to the smaller MAX 7, and an engine deicing problem affecting both models remains unresolved. “It’s progress, but until (the MAX 10) is certified, it’s not,” said aerospace analyst Scott Hamilton, principal at the Leeham Company. (Reuters) The key point for BA stock right now is straightforward: investors see the MAX 10 timeline

American Express stock on watch: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call jolts AXP ahead of Monday

New York, January 11, 2026, 14:24 EST — The market has closed. American Express (AXP.N) faces renewed pressure Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a one-year freeze on credit-card interest rates, capping them at 10% starting Jan. 20. (Business Insider) This shift is crucial now since a cap, if enforced, would cut into card issuers’ profits from revolving balances—the portion of credit card debt customers carry month to month. Investors are also entering a fresh earnings season, where lenders’ credit expenses and loan growth typically cause the first major market moves.

Hermes stock ends week above €2,200 — CPI and Feb results set the next test

Paris, Jan 11, 2026, 20:25 CET — Market closed Hermès shares wrapped up the week above 2,200 euros on Friday, recovering strongly after a rocky start to January. The stock surged just before the weekend. This matters as the next session kicks off a week packed with macroeconomic events. For expensive consumer stocks, movements in rates and currencies often drive the action, even when the companies themselves show no clear developments. Investors are marking their calendars for Feb. 12, when Hermès will release its 2025 annual results. This report usually reignites discussions around pricing power and demand trends in the

NEW YORK, Feb 7, 2026, 03:07 (EST) Amazon.com shares fell on Friday after the company laid out a roughly $200 billion plan to ramp up artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, unsettling investors who have started to question the price tag of the AI race.
