NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 12:54 EST — Market closed U.S. oil stocks showed mixed moves heading into the weekend after executives told President Donald Trump they’d consider returning to Venezuela only if new legal and security assurances are in place.

Nvidia stock slides on China H200 prepayment push as investors weigh export risk

NEW YORK, January 8, 2026, 14:25 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares fell about 2.7% on Thursday after the AI chipmaker tightened payment terms for its H200 processors sold into China, demanding full upfront payment and barring cancellations or refunds, sources briefed on the matter told Reuters.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 14:50 ET Virgin Galactic’s bid to refinance debt and raise fresh capital is sharpening investor doubts about whether the company can post its first annual profit in 2026, as it remains grounded and burning cash. Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence expect Virgin Galactic to lose nearly $240 million in 2026, according to a Nasdaq-published column. Nasdaq Why it matters now: Virgin is funding development of its next-generation “Delta-class” spaceplanes and a new carrier aircraft while it has little revenue coming in. That leaves the company reliant on the capital markets to bridge the

NuScale slides again as dilution worries shadow small-reactor stocks

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:58 ET — Regular session NuScale Power Corp shares fell about 2.6% on Monday, extending a late-year slide in high-volatility nuclear-reactor developers. The stock was down 2.6% at $14.46 in afternoon trading. NuScale and its peers have become a fast-moving proxy for sentiment on small modular reactors, or SMRs — smaller nuclear units designed to be factory-built and deployed in clusters to generate power. Bulls argue SMRs could help meet growing electricity demand, including from data centers, while skeptics point to long timelines and uncertain costs. That debate has sharpened into a near-term question for

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) is ending 2025 with its share price hovering near record territory—powered less by “loan growth heroics” and more by two things markets love in a maturing rate cycle: fee income momentum (especially wealth management) and a clearer capital return story. But the same forces that lifted OCBC stock into year-end—Singapore’s safe-haven inflows, falling interest rates, and an increasingly “financial-centre premium” across local banks—also set up 2026’s key debate: Can wealth-led growth and higher payouts offset ongoing margin pressure?
