Micron stock climbs on fresh William Blair call as AI memory squeeze tightens

New York, January 22, 2026, 16:04 EST — After-hours Micron Technology shares climbed 1.6% to $395.54 in late Thursday trading following William Blair’s debut coverage with an Outperform rating on the U.S. memory-chip giant. Analyst Sebastien Naji highlighted that “advancements in AI compute are increasingly hindered by memory bottlenecks” in a firm note announcing the coverage launch. (William Blair) The timing is crucial as investors now see memory more as a bottleneck than a basic resource. High-bandwidth memory, or HBM—a faster DRAM variant placed alongside AI accelerator chips—has turned into a rare component in data-center expansions. Brokers are betting that

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of Bloom Energy Corp slid 4.9% to $143.24 in Thursday afternoon trading, following a choppy day where the stock hit a peak of $155.47 before dropping to a low of $142.01.

NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2026, 13:55 EST — Regular session Bitcoin climbed 1.1% to $89,350 by 1:55 p.m. EST Thursday, bouncing between $88,243 and $90,281 as buyers made another run at breaking $90,000. Ether crept up 0.6%, trading near $2,941. The bounce barely shifted the short-term outlook. Traders stayed cautious following heavy outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs and a series of volatile sessions that have cast bitcoin as more of a risky tech play than a safe haven. (Decrypt) It’s significant now as macro markets have become volatile once more. A selloff in Japanese government bonds this week lifted

It ranked as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, valued around $116 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips below $90,000 as ETF outflows grow ahead of Fed meeting

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 10:44 EST — Regular session Bitcoin dipped under $90,000 on Thursday, pressured by ongoing outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs. The top cryptocurrency traded around $88,868, down 1.2%, by mid-morning in New York, within a session range of $87,304 to $90,281. This shift is significant as ETF flows have become a near-daily gauge of institutional appetite for bitcoin. Traders are also recalibrating their bets on U.S. interest rates, with crypto behaving more like a macro asset, reacting sharply to moves in the dollar and yields. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows of roughly $708.7

Heating oil price today: ULSD futures slip after Arctic-blast rally as traders await U.S. inventories

NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2026, 07:03 EST — Premarket NYMEX February ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) futures — often still referred to as heating oil — dropped 6.0 cents, or roughly 2.5%, settling at $2.3703 a gallon by 7:03 a.m. EST. Crude and gasoline futures slid as well, even as U.S. natural gas prices continued their climb. (Barchart.com) The pullback coincides with winter demand kicking in. ULSD follows the broader distillate market—a category covering diesel and heating oil—so price shifts can quickly impact trucking expenses and heating bills in the Northeast as temperatures drop. Timing is key. The U.S. Energy Information

Bitcoin price today: BTC steadies near $90,000 after Trump drops Greenland tariff threat

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 06:20 (EST) — Premarket Bitcoin climbed 0.8% to $89,874 on Thursday, staying just shy of the $90,000 level after fluctuating between $87,304 and $90,379. Ether gained roughly 1%, reaching $2,996. The rally holds the world’s largest cryptocurrency near a point traders see more as a sentiment indicator than a key benchmark. Recent sessions have tied bitcoin’s moves to the same forces influencing rates and equities: political developments, long-term bond yields, and the speed at which investors retreat to cash. On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump pulled back a tariff threat linked to Greenland, announcing that

Natural gas price jumps above $5 as deep-freeze forecast tightens supply — storage report looms

Natural gas price jumps above $5 as deep-freeze forecast tightens supply — storage report looms

New York, January 22, 2026, 06:30 EST — Premarket U.S. natural gas prices surged once more in early Thursday trading, with the Henry Hub benchmark climbing past $5 per million British thermal units (mmBtu). Front-month futures gained roughly 10%, hitting about $5.38 per mmBtu by 5:58 a.m. EST. (markets.businessinsider.com) This matters because gas not only heats homes but also powers a significant share of U.S. electricity. When forecasts turn colder, demand often jumps quicker than supply can catch up. Traders are also monitoring “freeze-offs” — those periods when extreme cold clogs wells and gathering systems — even as liquefied natural
