Gold price nears $5,000 again as banks lift forecasts; traders eye Fed next week

NEW YORK, January 23, 2026, 13:40 (EST) — Regular session. Share prices pushed higher on Friday, printing another all-time high and hovering just below $5,000 an ounce as a softer dollar and a run of geopolitical headlines kept safe-haven demand in play. Spot gold was up 0.8% at $4,976.63 an ounce after touching $4,988.16; the dollar index was down about 0.6%. (Investing.com) The move matters now because bullion is testing a round-number threshold that tends to draw in momentum money and force reluctant shorts to rethink. Lower U.S. interest-rate expectations also help: gold pays no interest, so the metal usually

New York, January 23, 2026, 13:12 EST — Regular session Bank of America Corp shares slipped about 1.8% to $51.49 in early Friday afternoon trading, weighed down by a widespread decline in U.S. bank stocks.

Strategy (MSTR) stock jumps as bitcoin rebounds; traders track Saylor’s next buy

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 12:39 PM EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares climbed 3.7% on Friday, recovering some losses as bitcoin strengthened. Traders continued to view the stock as a high-octane proxy for the top cryptocurrency. This shift is significant since the stock’s behavior has drifted from typical software patterns, resembling more a leveraged bitcoin wrapper lately, with daily volatility tied closely to crypto market moves and shifts in risk appetite. That sensitivity works both ways. Strategy funds often use capital markets tools that may cause dilution or require fixed payouts, so even a whisper of new buying—or

This is significant as payment networks have been acting like stand-ins for policy bets recently: investors are scrambling to gauge both the upcoming phase of consumer spending and regulatory shifts, all while eyeing the Federal Reserve meeting and jittery risk appetite. (Reuters) Visa has turned into a typical “wait-for-the-print” name ahead of earnings. With no new updates from

Ether also dropped, down 0.5% to $2,914, per CME CF real-time indices. After a turbulent stretch in currencies, rates and commodities, gold surged to a new peak near $4,967 an ounce.
