Applied Materials stock tags new record after Susquehanna upgrade — CPI and earnings loom

New York, January 12, 2026, 18:18 EST — After-hours trading. Applied Materials, Inc. shares hit a new high on Monday, climbing 2% to close at $307.24. Chip-equipment stocks saw a late-session boost, driving the gains. (Source: https://www.marketwatch.com/data-news/applied-materials-inc-stock-underperforms-monday-when-compared-to-competitors-despite-daily-gains-69dfe39e-5cc7ca099bab) This shift is crucial as investors gauge the next wave of chipmakers’ capital expenditures, following a year dominated by heavy investments in advanced computing and data centers. The stock, hovering near its peak, reacts sharply to even slight changes in the outlook. Wall Street faces a calendar crunch this week: fresh macro data and a slew of corporate earnings could shift rate expectations

Sarepta stock sinks as Elevidys sales miss, flu delays spill into 2026

Sarepta stock sinks as Elevidys sales miss, flu delays spill into 2026

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 14:53 EST — Regular session. Sarepta Therapeutics shares dropped roughly 13% to $20.73 in Monday afternoon trading following a disappointing sales forecast for its Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene therapy, Elevidys, in the fourth quarter. This matters because Elevidys has turned into the company’s key swing factor — and a closely watched one at that — for a stock that’s already been tossed around by safety concerns and shifts in treatment protocols over the past year. The timing coincides with the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, where investors usually demand clear guidance and early insights for the

Powell Industries stock jumps as Wall Street Zen upgrade puts POWL back in play

Powell Industries stock jumps as Wall Street Zen upgrade puts POWL back in play

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:31 ET — Regular session Shares of Powell Industries, Inc. jumped 6.6% to $389.74 in early afternoon trading on Monday, hitting an intraday peak of $396.80. Roughly 213,000 shares traded hands. The jump counts because Powell’s moves have turned into a gauge of whether funds are still betting on U.S. electrification and heavy industry spending. With shares hovering near recent peaks, new buying often hits quickly — and can reverse just as fast. Powell outpaced the modest 0.5% gain in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund. Eaton shares climbed 1.1%, Vertiv jumped 3.7%, nVent increased

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips near $2 as Fed probe and U.S. crypto bill loom

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips near $2 as Fed probe and U.S. crypto bill loom

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:51 (EST) — Regular session XRP dipped roughly 1% to near $2.07 on Monday, as traders digested new political uncertainty tied to the Federal Reserve and braced for a U.S. Senate crypto bill session scheduled for later this week. This move is significant because crypto is once again acting like a pure risk gauge. When policy headlines jolt rates and the dollar, smaller tokens can see sharp swings—even if there’s no XRP-specific news out there. Another factor: Washington might finally set firmer boundaries on which regulator handles what in crypto — a core plumbing issue

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

XRP price drifts near $2 as crypto fund outflows grow and ETF filings shift the backdrop

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 11:07 AM EST — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% on Monday, settling near $2.09. The token remains trapped in a tight range, leaving both bulls and bears frustrated. (CoinMarketCap) This shift is significant because inflows into listed crypto products now serve as a sharp gauge of risk appetite, particularly early in the year when portfolios adjust and liquidity tightens. XRP, in particular, has attracted a rising number of U.S.-listed funds, heightening its sensitivity to news that would have barely registered a year ago. The move comes as markets continue to adjust to shifting interest-rate

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

IREN stock jumps as bitcoin firms up; what traders are watching next

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 11:15 EST — Regular session underway. IREN Limited shares jumped Monday, gaining roughly 7.3% to $49.38 as buyers returned to crypto-linked stocks. Early trading saw the price fluctuate between $45.85 and $49.83, with roughly 20.5 million shares changing hands. The move is significant because IREN straddles two worlds: it continues mining bitcoin while also positioning itself as an AI infrastructure player. This dual focus leaves the stock vulnerable to swings from both crypto prices and the pace of data-center expansions. Rate-cut timing remains unclear, rattling investors in high-growth stocks linked to hefty capex. A handful

New York, January 12, 2026, 10:36 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Ondas Holdings Inc fell 3.4% to $13.22 early Monday, after fluctuating between $13.21 and $15.23. A filing signed the same day revealed the company anticipates net proceeds near $959.2 million from a $1 billion stock-and-warrant offering, set to close around Jan. 12. This deal is crucial because it instantly reshapes the company’s cash reserves. At the same time, it introduces a hefty chunk of potential new shares and warrants, which could limit short-term gains as traders price in dilution.

Silver price stock SLV jumps nearly 7% as Fed probe headlines push silver to fresh records

New York, January 12, 2026, 10:27 AM EST — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), widely used to track silver prices, jumped roughly 6.9% to $77.40 in early trading Monday. Volume surged sharply as the rally in silver pushed gains across ETFs and mining stocks. This rally isn’t just another metals bounce. Traders interpret the latest Washington headlines as a blow to confidence in the Fed, which usually drives money into assets considered safe havens when policy and inflation expectations shake up. The latest twist came after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed the Fed had been hit

Klarna Group plc stock (KLAR) slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card cap talk jolts lenders, lawsuit deadline looms

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:18 (ET) — Regular session Klarna Group plc shares dropped 4.8% to $29.96 in early Monday trading, down from an opening price of $32.33, as investors digested new policy risks tied to U.S. consumer lending and increased legal scrutiny on the recently listed fintech. (Investing.com) The shift follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to cap credit-card interest rates at 10% for one year beginning Jan. 20. Wall Street experts warned that such a wide-ranging cap would almost certainly need Congress approval, with slim chances of making it through. Still, the announcement rattled stocks in lenders

Moderna (MRNA) stock slips after $1.9B 2025 revenue view and cost cuts — what to watch next

New York, January 12, 2026, 09:55 EST — Regular session Moderna (MRNA.O) shares dropped about 2% to $33.60 early Monday after the biotech forecasted around $1.9 billion in revenue for 2025 and lowered its GAAP operating-expense forecast for that year—the U.S. accounting standard. The stock swung between $35.77 and $33.33 in a volatile session. (ACCESS Newswire) This update is crucial as Moderna strives to reassure investors it can sustain itself on seasonal vaccine revenues and an expanding pipeline, rather than relying on pandemic-era demand. Traders are fixated on cash levels and how quickly the company is cutting expenses. The timing

In U.S. premarket action, Coinbase dropped 1.9%, Strategy fell 5.8%, miner Marathon Digital lost 2.0%, while Riot Platforms climbed 1.3%. Sentiment shifted to cautious after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed that the Trump administration threatened him with criminal indictment, sparking fresh concerns about central bank independence and the dollar’s outlook. “The repeated attacks on the Fed’s independence” remain a downside risk for the greenback, said MUFG’s Lee Hardman.

NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2026, 07:02 EST — Premarket Shares of the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) showed gains in Monday’s premarket, following a rebound in U.S. natural gas futures. The bounce comes after a selloff late last week, driven by forecasts for warmer weather. (Investing.com) This shift is crucial since weather has been behind the daily swings in gas prices, with traders relying on funds like UNG to play short-term moves.
