Barclays shares in focus as bank makes first stablecoin bet with Ubyx stake

London, January 7, 2026, 07:51 GMT — Premarket Barclays (BARC.L) shares were set for focus ahead of the London open on Wednesday after the bank said it had bought a stake in U.S. stablecoin-settlement firm Ubyx, its first investment in a stablecoin-related company. Barclays declined to disclose the size of the investment; Ubyx runs a clearing system for stablecoins, digital tokens designed to track mainstream currencies, and Barclays was one of 10 banks including Goldman Sachs and UBS that said in October it was exploring a stablecoin pegged to G7 currencies. The stock ended Tuesday up 0.36% at 488.40 pence,

StockAnalysis The Singapore-listed real asset manager is heading into a dense stretch of investor touchpoints, when markets will test whether fee income can keep rising as managers push new funds and recycle capital.

SG Investors+1 The update matters because TransCore sits within a business line that targets longer-dated public-sector and infrastructure work, which can bring recurring service revenue alongside ST Engineering’s aerospace and defence exposure.

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock slides after $14.2B crypto stash update as share vote nears

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:50 (ET) — Market closed Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) closed down 3.1% at $32.33 on Tuesday. The stock traded between $31.38 and $34.04, with about 40.5 million shares changing hands. StockAnalysis The Las Vegas-based firm has pushed into a “digital-asset treasury” play — a company whose balance sheet is dominated by crypto rather than operating assets. That can make BMNR trade more like a proxy for ether prices and risk appetite than for day-to-day mining fundamentals. That model is drawing fresh attention after index provider MSCI said it will not implement a proposal

Bank of America stock (BAC) holds near 52-week high after accounting change trims key capital ratio

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:14 EST — Market closed Bank of America Corp said it changed accounting methods for certain tax-related equity investments, an adjustment that would have cut its common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio — a key measure of bank capital — by 13 basis points as of Sept. 30, 2025, on a pro forma basis. Applied retrospectively, retained earnings as of Sept. 30 fell $1.7 billion and CET1 capital would have decreased about $2.1 billion, it said; it also estimated its third-quarter effective tax rate would have been about 20% versus 10.4% previously reported.

Johnson Controls (JCI) stock slides 6% after Nvidia’s “no water chillers” line jolts data-center cooling trade

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 20:13 (EST) — Market closed Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI) shares closed down 6.2% at $113.95 on Tuesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the chipmaker’s next platform would sharply reduce the cooling equipment needed in data centers. The stock was down as much as 7.5% earlier in the session and hit a multi-month low. (Source: Reuters) The selloff matters because investors have treated Johnson Controls and other heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) suppliers as a way to play the AI-driven buildout of data centers. Cooling is a basic cost of running server farms,

NEW YORK, January 6, 2026, 18:54 EST — After-hours Nebius Group N.V. shares climbed about 8% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, extending a strong day for the AI infrastructure provider after it said it would offer NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin NVL72 platform in the United States and Europe from the second half of 2026. The move matters for investors because access to top-end chips is one of the main bottlenecks for AI cloud providers. Securing early supply can help firms win multi-year deals, while late deliveries can leave them priced out as customers lock up capacity elsewhere. Nebius sells computing

Salesforce stock rises as RBC lifts target to $290, AI bets back in focus for CRM shares

New York, January 6, 2026, 14:42 EST — Regular session Salesforce (CRM) shares climbed 2.6% to $262.82 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, tracking a broader bid for large-cap software names as investors leaned back into AI-linked trades. The move matters because sentiment in enterprise software has turned on a narrow question: which vendors can turn artificial intelligence into billable products without stalling core subscription growth. Salesforce sits near the center of that debate as it pushes AI “agent” tools aimed at automating customer-facing work. Rate bets are also back in play. Growth stocks tend to move with expectations for Federal
