Coinbase stock jumps after Goldman upgrade as Bitcoin trades near $94,000 — what investors watch next

Coinbase stock jumps after Goldman upgrade as Bitcoin trades near $94,000 — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:57 EST — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares rose about 7% to $253.63 in late-morning trade on Monday after a Goldman Sachs upgrade put the crypto exchange back on traders’ buy lists. The call matters now because crypto-linked stocks are moving with a fresh leg higher in bitcoin, and investors have been looking for reasons to own the larger “picks-and-shovels” names rather than smaller, more volatile plays. For Coinbase, the immediate question is whether the company can keep shifting its business mix toward steadier revenue streams as crypto trading ebbs and flows with price

Strategy Inc (MSTR) stock jumps after fresh bitcoin buy, flags $17.4 billion Q4 paper loss

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:55 (ET) — Regular session Shares of Strategy Inc were up 5.5% at $165.84 on Monday after the company disclosed fresh bitcoin purchases and a preliminary fourth-quarter mark-to-market hit on its digital assets. SEC The update matters because Strategy has become one of Wall Street’s most liquid proxies for bitcoin, with the stock often amplifying moves in the cryptocurrency. The company has regularly raised cash by selling securities to add to its bitcoin holdings, putting its financing pace and potential dilution in focus for equity investors. SEC Strategy also used the filing to preview the

Bitcoin price nears $94,000 as Strategy buy boosts Coinbase and crypto stocks

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:59 EST — Regular session Bitcoin climbed on Monday morning as crypto-linked stocks rallied after Strategy disclosed another bitcoin purchase and investors weighed the market impact of Washington’s dramatic move in Venezuela. Bitcoin was up 2.4% at $93,501 by 9:59 a.m. EST. SEC The move matters now because bitcoin is starting the first full trading week of 2026 with geopolitics back on the tape and a run of U.S. data that can quickly reset interest-rate expectations. That mix has been driving sharp swings across “risk” assets — markets that tend to rise when investors feel

ASML Holding stock pops on Bernstein upgrade as €1,300 target turns heads before Jan. 28 earnings

ASML Holding stock pops on Bernstein upgrade as €1,300 target turns heads before Jan. 28 earnings

Amsterdam, January 5, 2026, 11:57 CET — Regular session ASML (ASML.AS) shares rose 3.2% on Monday after brokerage Bernstein upgraded the Dutch chipmaking equipment maker to “outperform” and raised its price target to 1,300 euros from 800 euros. Reuters The move matters now because Wall Street is trying to pin down whether 2026 brings a broader rebound in semiconductor capital spending, particularly from memory makers. ASML’s tools sit at the heart of that cycle, since lithography is the process of printing circuits onto silicon wafers. The timing is tight, with ASML due to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on

Tesla stock (TSLA) rises in premarket after delivery miss — what investors watch next

New York, January 5, 2026, 06:00 EST — Premarket Tesla shares rose about 1.7% in premarket trading on Monday to $445.45, after ending Friday down 2.6% at $438.07.  StockAnalysis The early gains put Tesla back in focus after last week’s delivery update revived concerns about near-term demand, even as the stock remains priced for fast growth in newer bets such as autonomy and robotics. A Tesla-compiled survey of 20 sell-side analysts had forecast fourth-quarter deliveries of 422,850 vehicles and projected 2026 deliveries of about 1.75 million, underscoring how much of the 2026 narrative rests on a rebound in volumes.  Tesla

BP stock slips in premarket as oil dips on Venezuela turmoil — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 05:27 ET — Premarket BP’s New York-listed shares were down 1.5% at $35.26 in premarket trading, the electronic session before the 9:30 a.m. ET open. The stock has traded between $25.22 and $37.64 over the past 52 weeks. MarketBeat The move matters because BP’s earnings power is still tightly linked to oil and gas prices, even as it invests in lower-carbon businesses. When crude swings, investors quickly reprice expectations for dividends and share buybacks. Monday’s early trade also sets a tone for the energy complex at the start of the first full U.S. trading week

EQT natural gas stock slips as Henry Hub futures hit late-October low; storage report ahead

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:34 EST — Regular session EQT Corp (EQT.N) shares fell 0.9% to $53.01 in afternoon trading on Monday as U.S. natural gas prices weakened, keeping pressure on the country’s biggest gas-focused producer by volume. The stock’s pullback matters because producers’ cash flow and hedging plans are closely tied to the gas curve, and early-January weather can quickly reset expectations for winter demand. A few degrees in forecasts can translate into meaningful shifts in storage withdrawals and prices. Traders are also positioning for the next U.S. government storage report, which tracks how much gas is in

MercadoLibre stock slides into 2026 as MELI investors eye Feb. 24 earnings and a big U.S. data week

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 21:20 ET — Market closed MercadoLibre Inc shares closed down 2.0% on Friday at $1,973.70, capping a weak start to the new year for the Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether. The decline matters because MercadoLibre is treated by many investors as a proxy for risk appetite in high-growth emerging-market tech, and the week ahead is packed with U.S. economic releases that can reset rate expectations. The stock also heads into Monday below key technical markers. MercadoLibre ended Friday about $110 under its 50-day moving average ($2,083.65) and roughly $294 below its 200-day moving average

PepsiCo stock back in the activist spotlight as Barclays flags record campaigns — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 21:00 ET — Market closed PepsiCo shares head into Monday with activist investing back in the frame after Barclays data showed campaign activity hit a record in 2025, and the snack-and-soda maker was among the companies that drew attention. PepsiCo last closed down 0.9% at $142.23 on Friday. StockAnalysis That matters now because “activism” has become a live catalyst again for large-cap U.S. companies: it can force boards to sharpen strategy, speed up cost cuts or rethink capital returns, all of which can move a stock even before earnings do. For PepsiCo, the backdrop is

Silver price tumbles from record as India’s gold rate drops — experts’ 2026 playbook

NEW DELHI, Jan 4, 2026, 20:05 ET Silver prices have slipped about 13% from a record high and some market watchers see the metal dropping as much as 60% by the end of India’s fiscal 2027, after a surge that has started to squeeze industrial users. Silver hit $82.670 an ounce in the international market on Monday and fell to $71.300 by Friday, a drop of $11.37, Live Hindustan reported. After a 180% jump in 2025, the report said, analysts warned that high prices were pushing end-users to consider substitutes, even as short covering — buying back to close bearish
