New York, Jan 21, 2026, 18:21 (ET) — After-hours Shares of Lam Research Corp climbed 2.6% Wednesday, closing at $228.39 in after-hours trading.

New York, January 21, 2026, 17:07 EST — Trading after hours. Spot silver (XAG/USD) slipped in late U.S. trading Wednesday, retreating from earlier gains this week.

SanDisk stock hits a fresh record as Citi raises target and AI storage demand lifts SNDK

NEW YORK, Jan 21, 2026, 16:24 EST Shares of Sandisk surged 10.7% to $501.59 Wednesday, hitting a record high of $506 along the way.

ImmunityBio stock price dips today as IBRX cools off after FDA resubmission update

New York, January 21, 2026, 14:23 ET — Regular session ImmunityBio shares dropped roughly 2% to $6.35 in Wednesday afternoon trading, as investors pared back after the biotech’s recent regulatory update. The stock swung between $5.74 and $6.64, with around 67 million shares changing hands. The pullback is significant since the stock’s trajectory hinges on one key factor: how soon ImmunityBio can expand the U.S. label for Anktiva, its bladder-cancer immunotherapy on the market. A broader label would mean more patients gain access, especially in a treatment landscape that tightens quickly once standard options run out. ImmunityBio announced Tuesday that

Bitcoin price slips as bond rout and tariff threats squeeze crypto

New York, January 21, 2026, 14:04 EST — Regular session Bitcoin (BTC) slipped on Wednesday and stayed below $90,000 in U.S. trading. The cryptocurrency was down 1.1% at $88,466 by 2:04 p.m. EST, after swinging between $87,304 and $90,379. The slide keeps crypto tied to a wider risk-off move that hit stocks and long-dated bonds this week. President Donald Trump’s threat of new tariffs on a group of European countries unless a deal was reached for the U.S. to purchase Greenland helped trigger Wall Street’s biggest one-day drop in three months on Tuesday, and bitcoin fell more than 3%.
