Lloyds share price slips in early London trade as tariff jitters spread — what to watch next

London, Jan 19, 2026, 08:34 GMT — Regular session Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) shares fell 0.5% to 101.55 pence by 0834 GMT on Monday, dragged lower amid renewed risk aversion hitting European markets. The stock swung between 100.11p and 101.80p, following a close of 102.10p the day before.

Bitcoin whale sells $48 million after 12 years — and the market isn’t panicking

NEW YORK, Jan 19, 2026, 03:14 (EST) A Bitcoin “whale” — a term for a major holder — offloaded another 500 bitcoins, valued at about $47.77 million, sending them to Binance, on-chain analyst EmberCN reported.

Salesforce stock drops to a seven-week low — what to watch for CRM after the MLK Day pause

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 16:32 EST — Market closed. Salesforce shares ended Friday down 2.75% at $227.11, marking their lowest close since Nov. 26. This stretched the stock’s losing streak to four sessions and dragged the Dow component roughly 12% lower for the week. After hours, the stock showed little movement. (StockAnalysis) This matters because the drop has thrust Salesforce back into the spotlight as a big-cap laggard, right as traders approach a long weekend and a shortened preview of next week.
