Synopsys stock (SNPS) heads into 2026 down 1% — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:06 ET — Market closed. Synopsys shares last closed down about 1% at $469.72 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Reuters The move matters because the chip-design software group is being pulled between two forces: continued spending tied to artificial intelligence hardware and a late-year wobble in big tech that has investors reassessing positioning into 2026. Reuters+1 Synopsys is a key supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) software — tools engineers use to design and verify chips before they are manufactured — and it competes closely with

Carvana stock dips to $422 as 2025 ends lower — what CVNA investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:58 ET — Market closed Carvana Co (CVNA) shares closed down 1.7% at $422.02 on Wednesday, the last U.S. trading session of 2025, as investors wrapped up a holiday-shortened week before Wall Street’s New Year’s Day closure. The stock traded between $421.95 and $430.30. The dip matters because Carvana has been a high-volatility momentum stock, leaving it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and year-end portfolio positioning. It also comes at a time when liquidity — the ability to buy or sell without moving the price — is thin, which can exaggerate swings. U.S. stocks

Silver price forecast 2026: What comes next after the $80 breakout and 161% surge

Silver price forecast 2026: What comes next after the $80 breakout and 161% surge

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:16 ET Silver’s record 2025 rally has reset the starting point for the 2026 silver price forecast, after the metal rose 161% and broke the $80-per-ounce mark for the first time. Gold climbed 66% and copper hit an all-time high of $12,960 a tonne on the London Metal Exchange, keeping metals in focus as traders map the next move. “Demand for metals is looking solid from both an industrial and retail perspective,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Reuters The outlook matters because silver sits on both sides of the economy: it is

AST SpaceMobile stock slips into 2026 as markets shut for New Year’s Day — what ASTS investors watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:06 ET — Market closed AST SpaceMobile Inc shares ended the year lower, closing down 2.8% at $72.63 on Dec. 31, after swinging between $71.61 and $75.73 in the session. U.S. stock markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. New York Stock Exchange The pullback mattered because AST SpaceMobile has become a high-volatility proxy for the “direct-to-device” trade — satellites linking directly to ordinary smartphones without specialized hardware. The stock’s sharp moves have reflected how quickly investors reprice execution risk as the company pushes toward commercial rollout. SEC That sensitivity has grown after

Bitcoin price forecast 2026: New calls see fresh highs after 2025 slide

Bitcoin price forecast 2026: New calls see fresh highs after 2025 slide

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:41 ET Crypto brokerage and research firm K33 has turned bullish on the bitcoin price forecast for 2026, telling clients it expects the cryptocurrency to rebound and outperform stocks and gold after a weak 2025. The call matters now because bitcoin’s swings have increasingly tracked broader risk appetite, pulling it closer to mainstream markets and making the 2026 outlook more sensitive to rates, policy and macro headlines. That shift leaves traders looking for clarity on the Federal Reserve’s path for interest rates and on U.S. rulemaking that could widen access to the market. Bitcoin was

Utilities stocks today: NextEra’s $4 billion share-sale plan keeps XLU under pressure into 2026

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 1:53 PM ET — Market closed U.S. utilities stocks headed into the New Year on the back foot after NextEra Energy disclosed a $4 billion at-the-market share-sale program, a move that can add supply to the market over time. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, an exchange-traded fund that tracks a basket of utility stocks, last closed down 0.6% at $42.69. (SEC filing) Why it matters now: utilities are among the most interest-rate-sensitive parts of the equity market because investors often value them for steady cash flows and dividends.

Bitcoin price today: BTC steadies near $88,000 as New Year holiday shuts U.S. stocks; Coinbase, Strategy last lower

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:45 ET — Market closed. Bitcoin edged higher on Thursday, holding near $88,000 even as U.S. equity markets were shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq The move comes as bitcoin heads into 2026 after a weakening stretch in 2025 that left it on track for its first annual decline since 2022, amid a sharper pullback after an October record. Reuters That matters now because traders increasingly treat bitcoin as a “risk asset” — shorthand for investments that typically rise when investors are confident and fall when they cut exposure — rather than as

SoFi stock slips into 2026 after year-end selloff — here’s what traders are watching next

SoFi stock slips into 2026 after year-end selloff — here’s what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:00 ET — Market closed. SoFi Technologies, Inc. shares ended the year on a softer note, closing down 1.4% at $26.18 on Wednesday after trading between $26.08 and $26.90. The move matters because the first days of a new year often reset positioning, and SoFi’s stock has tended to trade like a rate-sensitive growth name. When investors de-risk, fintech lenders can get hit harder than the broader market. With U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday, attention shifts to what reopens trading in 2026: interest-rate expectations, risk appetite and the first

Johnson & Johnson stock holds near $207 as New Year’s Day shuts U.S. markets — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:08 ET — Market closed. Johnson & Johnson shares were steady heading into 2026, last closing up 0.02% at $206.95 on Wednesday, with U.S. stock markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. New York Stock Exchange Why it matters now: investors are starting the year with U.S. drug pricing back on the agenda after Reuters reported drugmakers plan to raise list prices on at least 350 branded medicines in 2026, even as the Trump administration presses for cuts. Reuters For Johnson & Johnson, attention is also turning to Jan. 21, when CEO

Cisco stock (CSCO) slips into 2026 as New Year holiday closes markets — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 11:29 ET — Market closed Cisco Systems, Inc. shares ended the last trading day of 2025 down 0.5% at $77.03. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. New York Stock Exchange The modest move keeps Cisco on watchlists as trading reopens in 2026. The company sells across networking and security, two categories investors track for signals on corporate tech budgets. Reuters Cisco’s dip came as Wall Street ended 2025’s final session lower after a strong year for U.S. equities, Reuters reported. Tech shares led pockets of late-day weakness in

Regencell Bioscience (RGC) stock slid 8% into the New Year’s Day market shutdown — what’s next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:46 ET — Market closed. Regencell Bioscience Holdings’ shares last closed down 8.3% at $21 on Wednesday, just before U.S. markets shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. New York Stock Exchange The latest swing underlined the stock’s extreme volatility: Nasdaq data show a 52-week range spanning roughly $0.09 to $83.60. Nasdaq That matters now because the move came without an obvious company-specific catalyst in the past day, leaving traders to focus on liquidity and positioning into the first session after the holiday.

Strategy (MSTR) stock drops into year-end as bitcoin’s annual loss looms; MSCI review next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:01 ET — Market closed Strategy Inc shares fell in the final trading session of 2025, tracking a softer bitcoin market, as U.S. stocks were shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Strategy ended Wednesday down $3.63, or 2.3%, at $151.95. The move matters because investors often treat Strategy — chaired by longtime bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor — as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin. The company has built its identity around holding bitcoin on its balance sheet and raising capital to buy more. Bitcoin was on track to post its first annual loss
