HKEX stock ends up 2% as Hong Kong’s AI-IPO push lifts sentiment — what’s next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:35 ET — Market closed Shares of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd (0388.HK), the operator of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, last closed up 2.01% at HK$415.80. Yahoo Finance The move matters because HKEX’s revenue is closely tied to market activity. When trading volumes and new listings rise, the exchange typically collects more trading, clearing and listing fees. Hong Kong stocks kicked off 2026 with a sharp rebound as investors chased artificial intelligence-related names. The Hang Seng Index gained 707 points, or 2.76%, to 26,338, while the Hang Seng Tech Index rose 4%, according

CleanSpark stock today: CLSK jumps 14% as Bitcoin rebounds — what traders watch next

CleanSpark stock today: CLSK jumps 14% as Bitcoin rebounds — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:24 ET — Market closed. CleanSpark Inc (CLSK) shares rose about 14% on Friday to close at $11.55 after trading between $10.20 and $11.61, with roughly 22.2 million shares changing hands. The move matters because CleanSpark is a bitcoin miner, and its revenue is tied to the price of bitcoin and the health of the mining market. Miners earn bitcoin for validating transactions, so their shares often swing more than the cryptocurrency itself. That sensitivity is back in focus as crypto markets try to set an early tone for 2026 after a choppy year-end. Investors

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps 15% as Tom Lee pushes 50-billion share authorization vote

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) stock jumps 15% as Tom Lee pushes 50-billion share authorization vote

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:51 ET — Market closed BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc shares closed sharply higher in the last U.S. session after the crypto-focused company stepped up its push for shareholders to approve a sweeping increase in its authorized shares. The stock ended Friday up 14.9% at $31.19. Nasdaq The vote matters because authorized shares set the maximum number of shares a company is allowed to issue under its charter. Raising that ceiling can give management room for stock sales, stock-based deals or stock splits, but it can also amplify dilution worries if new shares are issued. BitMine’s

CoreWeave (CRWV) stock today: Credit agreement amendment puts liquidity covenant in focus after Friday surge

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:10 ET — Market closed CoreWeave, Inc. said it amended a credit agreement tied to its DDTL 3.0 facility, a regulatory filing showed. TradingView Shares of the AI cloud provider closed Friday up 10.77% at $79.32, data showed. Investing The amendment lands as investors weigh how quickly debt-heavy AI infrastructure companies can keep adding capacity without tripping lender safeguards. Covenants — rules inside loan documents that require cash levels or financial ratios — can force a borrower to raise funding or curb spending if it falls short. DDTL stands for delayed-draw term loan, which lets

Spyre Therapeutics stock slides 6.6% after New Year session; $30 level and 2026 trial data in focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 20:15 ET — Market closed Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. shares fell 6.6% on Friday to $30.58, finishing the first U.S. trading day of 2026 near the lower end of the session’s $30.11-$33.31 range. The stock remains below its 52-week high of $34.49 after trading about 889,000 shares, while biotech benchmarks were little changed. The slide stands out because small-cap biotech names can swing sharply when investors reset positioning at the start of the year, especially after thin holiday liquidity. With little fresh company news since the last quarterly update, traders are leaning more heavily on macro

Galaxy Digital stock jumps nearly 11% after Friday rally — here’s what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 7:41 PM ET — Market closed Galaxy Digital shares last closed up 10.8% on Friday at $24.75, outperforming as investors rotated back into crypto-linked names ahead of the weekend. The move matters now because Galaxy’s results tend to track digital-asset activity — when crypto prices and volatility rise, trading volumes and demand for related services often follow. Crypto-linked stocks are shares of companies whose business models are materially tied to cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and ether advanced on the first U.S. trading day of 2026, supporting sentiment in the sector even as broader equity markets finished mixed.

Chip stocks brace for Monday after U.S. strikes Venezuela — three scenarios to watch

Chip stocks brace for Monday after U.S. strikes Venezuela — three scenarios to watch

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:31 ET U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolas Maduro, a shock event that investors are now mapping onto the next trading session for semiconductor stocks.  Reuters Chip shares entered the weekend with momentum. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index, a widely watched gauge of U.S. chipmakers, rose 4% on Friday as Nvidia and Intel helped lift the Dow.  Reuters Why it matters now is less about Caracas buying chips and more about what happens to oil and interest rates.

U.S. strikes Venezuela: What it could mean for BP, Shell and UK oil stocks on Monday

U.S. strikes Venezuela: What it could mean for BP, Shell and UK oil stocks on Monday

LONDON, Jan 3, 2026, 17:25 ET U.S. forces struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, an escalation Washington paired with an oil embargo that a separate report said has left the country’s crude exports paralyzed.  Reuters The shock lands after Brent crude, the global benchmark used to price much of Europe’s oil, settled at $60.75 a barrel on Friday, after oil’s biggest annual loss since 2020.  Reuters That low-$60 starting point matters for UK oil stocks because it reflects a market that entered 2026 focused on oversupply, not war risk. Traders often call the extra dollars added for

Coca-Cola stock drops on Atlanta layoff notice — here’s what KO traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 16:33 ET — Market closed Coca-Cola shares slipped on Friday, underperforming a modestly higher broader market, after a notice showed the beverage maker is preparing a round of job cuts at its Atlanta corporate headquarters. CBS News The filing matters now because investors are starting 2026 looking for clearer signs of cost discipline across large consumer companies, even as demand holds up and interest-rate expectations shift. TCSG It also lands as traders position for a run of market-moving data points next week that can reset expectations for Federal Reserve policy, a key driver for defensive

MongoDB stock drops nearly 5% to start 2026 as software sector lags; $400 level in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 15:32 ET — Market closed MongoDB shares closed down 4.8% on Friday, sliding with high-growth software stocks in the first regular U.S. session of 2026. The database company ended at $399.65. The pullback left the stock just under the $400 mark after it traded as low as $392.86 and as high as $432.70 in the session. Why it matters now: investors started the year rotating into value shares as U.S. Treasury yields — government bond rates — moved higher. That shift often pressures richly valued software names because higher rates can compress valuations. The iShares

Exxon stock faces a Monday test after U.S. strikes Venezuela — what oil traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Exxon Mobil’s stock is poised for an oil-led repricing when U.S. markets reopen after President Donald Trump said the United States attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro in an overnight operation.  Reuters Why this matters now: for Exxon and its peers, crude prices are still the biggest near-term swing factor, feeding through to upstream profits and cash returns. A sudden shift in Venezuelan supply expectations can ripple quickly across energy equities. The market is closed, so Exxon investors cannot trade on Saturday’s headlines. The first clean read is likely

Costco stock ends lower as analysts brace for a slower December sales print

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 11:09 ET — Market closed Costco Wholesale Corp shares (COST.O) ended Friday down 0.9% at $854.50, ahead of the warehouse retailer’s closely watched December sales update next week. The stock traded between $852.59 and $865.23 in the session. Costco The January sales print matters because Costco reports monthly comparable sales — revenue at stores open at least a year — between quarterly earnings, giving investors a quicker read on demand after the holiday season. Those updates can reset expectations early in the year, especially when gas prices and currency moves distort headline growth. Costco Costco
