S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 06:01 EST — Premarket Strategists polled by Reuters see the S&P 500 at 7,490 by end-2026, implying gains of just over 9% from end-2025 as investors weigh Fed succession, election risk and the durability of the AI boom. A slim majority—56%—also forecast a market correction in the coming months. “The most under-appreciated tail risk for 2026 is that the Fed eases monetary policy more than economic conditions justify, inadvertently reigniting inflation,” said Lale Akoner, a global market strategist at eToro. Reuters Wall Street closed higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 up 0.62% at 6,944.82,

Silver price forecast next week: Venezuela strikes raise safe-haven bid as $70-$75 range comes into view

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:07 ET — Market closed Silver’s short-term forecast tilted toward a risk-driven open next week after U.S. forces struck Venezuela, and President Donald Trump said President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country. A U.S. official told Reuters Maduro was seized by elite special forces, and Trump said more details would come at an 11 a.m. press event at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Gold price forecast for 2026: Banks map a $4,275-$5,000 range after bullion’s blockbuster year

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:46 ET Gold and other precious metals may have room for further gains in 2026 as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts said, after gold climbed 66% in 2025.

Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) Stock News and Forecasts for Dec. 24, 2025: Mortgage Expansion, AI Pivot, and Analyst Targets

Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OPEN) is ending 2025 the way it spent much of it: volatile, headline-driven, and intensely debated. In the Christmas Eve, holiday-shortened session on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, OPEN traded around $6.16 with a modest intraday range (about $6.13–$6.31) as investors weighed fresh company updates against a still-challenging U.S. housing backdrop. This is a stock that can’t decide whether it wants to be priced like a turnaround software platform or a cyclical housing trader—and on Dec. 24, the news flow gave both camps ammunition.
