Cloud computing stocks slide into 2026 as yields rise — what CLOU ETF investors watch next

Cloud computing stocks slide into 2026 as yields rise — what CLOU ETF investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 13:43 ET — Market closed The Global X Cloud Computing ETF fell 2.34% on Friday to $22.09, ending the first U.S. trading session of 2026 on the back foot as investors trimmed rate-sensitive cloud software exposure. Global X ETFs The timing matters because cloud stocks have become a crowded way to express bets on corporate digital spending and AI-linked demand, but they tend to wobble when bond yields rise. On Friday, U.S. stocks finished mixed with the Nasdaq edging lower as megacap tech weighed, while Treasury yields climbed. Reuters Policy expectations are also moving. Philadelphia

Northrop Grumman stock ends 2026’s first session higher — what could move space and defense shares next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 13:22 ET — Market closed Northrop Grumman shares closed up 2.7% on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as space and defense stocks tracked a firmer tone in industrials and broader “buy-the-dip” positioning. Marketwatch Why it matters now: defense contractors often trade on a mix of budget expectations, geopolitical headlines and interest-rate outlooks, and that mix is shifting into the first full week of the new year. Reuters’ “week ahead” agenda points to Venezuela developments and a heavy U.S. data calendar as potential volatility triggers when trading resumes Monday. Reuters The timing also matters

Via Transportation stock sinks to 52-week low territory after 6% Friday slide — what to watch next for NYSE:VIA

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:46 ET — Market closed Via Transportation Inc (NYSE:VIA) ended Friday down 6.3% at $27.18, a sharp drop that left the recently listed transit-technology company pinned near the bottom of its one-year trading range ahead of the first full week of 2026. Investing Why it matters now: trading volumes are expected to normalize after the holiday lull, and January’s early economic releases could quickly reset appetite for newer, loss-making growth stocks. Via has already given back much of its post-IPO momentum, making the next macro surprise more consequential for sentiment. Reuters Investors are bracing for

Exzeo Group (XZO) stock drops 6% into weekend — what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:47 ET — Market closed Exzeo Group shares fell 6.1% on Friday, closing at $22.76, as the newly public insurance-technology company headed into the weekend with a sharp pullback. The stock traded between $24.49 and $22.19 during the session, according to market data. Yahoo Finance The slide matters because Exzeo has a short trading history after its November listing, and investors are still testing how the stock behaves around key levels without fresh company news. A move of this size can quickly reset near-term positioning in a stock that has only recently established a public-market

JPMorgan stock closes higher to start 2026 — what investors watch before earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:20 ET — Market closed JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) stock last closed up 1.0% at $325.48 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, focus shifts to JPMorgan’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 report on Tuesday, Jan. 13. The bank said results are due around 7:00 a.m. ET, followed by an 8:30 a.m. conference call. JPMorgan Chase The timing matters because JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, often sets the tone for bank earnings season. Investors use its numbers and outlook to gauge loan demand, trading activity

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps with bitcoin rebound — here’s what matters before Monday

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps with bitcoin rebound — here’s what matters before Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 10:07 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares ended the first U.S. trading session of 2026 up 3.5% at $157.16, before markets closed for the weekend. The move tracked bitcoin’s recovery, leaving crypto-linked stocks in focus heading into Monday’s open. The Nasdaq-listed company — formerly MicroStrategy — is widely treated as a proxy for bitcoin, meaning investors often buy or sell the stock to express a view on the token. That relationship tends to amplify moves: when bitcoin rises or falls, Strategy can swing more sharply. Strategy That sensitivity matters now because bitcoin has been

Amazon stock slides into 2026: Key levels and macro catalysts investors are watching next

Amazon stock slides into 2026: Key levels and macro catalysts investors are watching next

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:30 ET — Market closed Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) shares ended Friday down 1.9% at $226.50, setting the tone for the e-commerce and cloud heavyweight heading into Monday’s open. In after-hours trading, the stock was little changed at $226.65. Google The move matters because Amazon is a bellwether for two big themes investors are repricing at the start of 2026: consumer demand and the cost of money. When Treasury yields rise, higher-growth stocks typically face tougher valuation math because future profits are discounted more steeply. Reuters Markets also return this week to a denser U.S. data

Euronext stock slides into 2026 as Europe hits records — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:29 ET — Market closed Euronext (ENX.PA) shares last closed down 1.88% at 125.60 euros on Friday. European markets are shut for the weekend and trading resumes on Monday. Euronext The move matters because Euronext, which runs stock exchanges across several European capitals, earns fees from trading and “post-trade” services such as clearing and settlement — the steps that happen after a trade is executed. When markets are busy, exchanges typically see higher volumes, which can lift fee income. Europe began 2026 on a strong footing, with the STOXX 600 closing up 0.7% and London’s

Tesla stock slides after delivery miss and BYD upset — what TSLA investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 05:03 ET — Market closed Tesla (TSLA) shares closed Friday down 2.6% at $438.07 after trading between $435.33 and $462.42. Tesla said fourth-quarter deliveries — vehicles handed to customers — totaled 418,227, including 406,585 Model 3 and Model Y cars, while production reached 434,358; it reported 2025 deliveries of 1,636,129. The company reported record fourth-quarter energy storage deployments of 14.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh), a measure of battery capacity, and said 2025 deployments totaled 46.7 GWh.

Nvidia stock starts 2026 higher as chipmakers rebound — what investors watch next for NVDA

Nvidia stock starts 2026 higher as chipmakers rebound — what investors watch next for NVDA

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:52 ET — Market closed. NVIDIA Corporation shares last rose 1.2% to $188.85 in Friday’s session, outperforming the Nasdaq’s flat finish as chipmakers led an early-2026 bounce. The move matters because Nvidia is a bellwether for the market’s artificial-intelligence trade, and its swings often set the tone for the broader semiconductor complex. Traders are watching whether the rally in chip stocks can hold as markets head into a busy week for tech headlines and U.S. economic data that can shift interest-rate expectations. Other chip-linked names also advanced on Friday. Advanced Micro Devices gained 4.3%, Intel

Strategy Inc stock today: MSTR ends higher after preferred dividend reset as bitcoin swings stay in focus

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:31 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares closed Friday up 3.5% at $157.16, after trading between $150.03 and $160.76. Bitcoin was up about 1.7% early Sunday at roughly $91,258. The move put fresh attention on Strategy’s funding machine, after the company adjusted the payout on one of its preferred share classes used alongside common-stock issuance to support its bitcoin-heavy balance sheet. That matters now because Strategy’s equity often trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin, while its capital-raising tools—common stock and several preferred series—can tighten or loosen depending on investor appetite for risk and

Valero stock ends higher to start 2026 — OPEC+ meeting and Jan. 29 earnings are next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 03:45 ET — Market closed Valero Energy Corp (VLO) shares rose about 1.5% on Friday to close at $165.31, after trading between $162.08 and $165.67. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday. The move sets up a week where crude supply policy and geopolitical headlines could keep energy prices — and refining margins — in play. For refiners such as Valero, investors track the crack spread — the gap between the cost of crude and the selling price of fuels such as gasoline and diesel — as a shorthand for earnings power. Valero said it will
