Yangzijiang Shipbuilding stock drops again despite STI record — what investors watch next week

Singapore, Jan 24, 2026, 14:54 SGT — Market closed Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd shares dropped 1.2% to S$3.34 on Friday, marking the biggest decline on Singapore’s Straits Times Index, which itself hit a record close. “Washington’s noise has been loud, but the market is learning how to filter it,” said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management. (The Straits Times) The shipbuilder has now dropped for two days in a row, sliding 2% on Thursday. That came despite the benchmark STI rising 0.4% amid a global relief rally sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump easing his position on Greenland,

Ondas (ONDS) stock ends volatile week lower after fresh SEC filings flag share overhang

Ondas (ONDS) stock ends volatile week lower after fresh SEC filings flag share overhang

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 21:11 EST — Market closed. Ondas Inc shares ended Friday down 3.5% at $12.17, with roughly 79.5 million shares traded as the stock stayed choppy into the weekend. A late-week SEC filing showed Ondas filed a prospectus supplement that allows certain stockholders to resell 1,622,607 shares from time to time, shares issued in connection with the company’s acquisition of Israel-based counter-drone firm Sentry CS Ltd. That matters because a resale registration can hang over a stock even when the company is not selling new shares itself. The prospectus said Ondas will not receive proceeds from

Freeport-McMoRan stock jumps again as Grasberg restart timeline comes into focus

Freeport-McMoRan stock jumps again as Grasberg restart timeline comes into focus

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 19:56 EST — After-hours Freeport-McMoRan shares climbed 2.65% on Friday, closing at $60.41. The copper miner edged closer to its recent highs as investors weighed fresh guidance and repair plans for its Grasberg mine in Indonesia. (Freeport-McMoRan Investors) This move is crucial since Freeport’s 2026 outlook depends heavily on the pace of Grasberg’s underground output recovery. Traders have lately viewed copper as a play on growth, supply constraints, and U.S. policy shifts. Much of Freeport’s planned metal sales are stacked in the second half of the year, leaving little margin for delay. Freeport reported Thursday

Shell’s $20 billion Nigeria Bonga bet collides with talk of an Argentina shale exit

CAPE TOWN, Jan 24, 2026, 02:51 SAST Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has given the green light to investment-linked incentives for Shell’s Bonga South West deepwater oil project, following talks with CEO Wael Sawan. Sawan indicated a final investment decision could come by 2027, with projected capital and operating costs around $20 billion. Shell is also eyeing Nigeria’s exploration licence round. Tinubu emphasized these incentives aren’t “blanket concessions” but tied to fresh capital and output. Shell highlighted recent investments in Bonga North and a gas project supplying Nigeria LNG; Exxon Mobil is another Bonga partner. (Reuters) Timing is crucial. After years

Intel stock price plunges 17% after weak outlook, putting the chip turnaround back on trial

New York, January 23, 2026, 17:06 EST — After-hours Intel (INTC.O) shares sank about 17% to $45.07 in late trading on Friday, as investors bailed out of the chipmaker after it flagged supply constraints and a weaker-than-expected first-quarter outlook. The stock hit an intraday low of $44.45, with nearly 291 million shares changing hands. The selloff landed at an awkward moment. Investors have treated Intel as a test case for whether an older U.S. semiconductor name can ride the artificial intelligence boom without getting squeezed by manufacturing and supply bottlenecks. It also weighed on broader sentiment into the weekend. The

Nvidia stock gains on China H200 chip order report — what moves NVDA next

New York, January 23, 2026, 16:02 (EST) — After-hours Nvidia (NVDA) shares climbed roughly 1.5% in regular trading Friday, closing at $187.53. Bloomberg News reported that Chinese regulators have instructed Alibaba and other major tech companies to start preparing orders for Nvidia’s H200 AI chips. (Bloomberg Law) Why this matters now: investors are grappling with just how much Nvidia’s AI-chip sales can keep flowing into China before another sudden policy shift hits. Earlier this month, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security announced it would scrutinize export license requests for the H200 and comparable chips individually, tightening security

Accenture stock slides in New York: traders weigh Sovereign AI deal and fresh Buy call

Accenture stock slides in New York: traders weigh Sovereign AI deal and fresh Buy call

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 14:53 EST — Regular session. Accenture plc shares dropped 1.2%, hitting $281.73 by 2:53 p.m. EST on Friday, down from Thursday’s close of $285.09. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF showed little movement. This matters because Accenture is a major player in consulting and IT services, and its stock often reacts to shifts in corporate tech spending. Investors want confirmation that the drive to roll out generative AI is translating into actual contracts, not just trial runs. On Wednesday, Accenture announced that Sovereign AI, a UK-based firm, had chosen Accenture and Palantir Technologies to develop and

Silver breaks $100 as gold nears $5,000 — what’s driving the record precious-metals run

Silver breaks $100 as gold nears $5,000 — what’s driving the record precious-metals run

NEW YORK, Jan 23, 2026, 14:51 EST Silver broke past $100 an ounce on Friday, hitting a new record as gold climbed further into untested levels, nearing the $5,000 mark. The rush into safe-haven metals has broadened beyond gold, sparking a cross-metal rally. CP24 The shift is significant as investors increasingly view precious metals not just as a trade but as a safeguard, driven by renewed geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty. The prospect of U.S. interest rate cuts has played into this too: lower rates make holding non-yielding bullion less costly in terms of forgone interest. Tight physical availability and

Spotify stock jumps as Goldman turns bullish and Spotify pushes new AI “Prompted Playlist”

Spotify stock jumps as Goldman turns bullish and Spotify pushes new AI “Prompted Playlist”

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 14:37 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Spotify Technology S.A. jumped on Friday, pushing higher in afternoon trading following a rating upgrade from Goldman Sachs. The stock gained roughly 2.8%, reaching $512.71. This move is crucial as Spotify faces a critical period where investors will judge two key factors: if the price hikes hold, and if new features boost engagement enough to protect margins. The stock has struggled to gain traction following a tough run for many growth stocks. Goldman analyst Eric Sheridan upgraded Spotify to “Buy,” though he trimmed his price target to $700

Silver price breaks $100: what’s driving XAG/USD — and what could knock it back

Silver price breaks $100: what’s driving XAG/USD — and what could knock it back

New York, January 23, 2026, 13:46 ET — Regular session underway. Spot silver (XAG/USD) shot past $100 an ounce on Friday, last trading 5.1% higher at $101. Gold meanwhile climbed to a record $4,988. Silver has jumped roughly 40% in 2026 after soaring 147% last year, while the gold-to-silver ratio shrank to about 50 from 105 in April. StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell called it “a self-propelled frenzy.” (Reuters) Hitting the $100 mark is a big deal, given silver’s notorious volatility. Breaking that key threshold can trigger momentum buying and prompt shorts to cover fast. MarketWatch reported silver briefly reached $100.78

Coinbase stock slips as Senate crypto bill vote is delayed; Galaxy joins new Prime staking trade

Coinbase stock slips as Senate crypto bill vote is delayed; Galaxy joins new Prime staking trade

New York, January 23, 2026, 13:28 EST — Regular session Shares of Coinbase Global dipped 1.5% to $219.70 during Friday afternoon trading, despite bitcoin climbing 1.3% to around $90,720 and ether edging up 1.1% to about $2,989. The stock moves on two fronts: crypto prices and Washington’s regulations. For Coinbase, that translates to bursts of retail trading when the market heats up, or an abrupt freeze when policies hit the news. A Senate vote delay on the Clarity Act has shifted focus to stablecoin “yields” — the rewards given to holders of stablecoins, crypto tokens usually tied to the U.S.
