GSK share price slips in early London trade as tariff jitters flare — what investors watch next

London, Jan 19, 2026, 08:02 GMT — Regular session Shares of GSK plc (GSK.L) edged down 0.6% to 1,806 pence by 0802 GMT, marking a subdued opening for the drugmaker in London. The stock fluctuated between 1,796p and 1,809p, staying far from its 52-week peak. (Google) Timing is key. Traders kicked off the week risk-averse after U.S. President Donald Trump promised to expand tariffs on European nations, rattling markets. With U.S. shares shut Monday for a holiday, European price swings—even among big caps—can be muted. (Reuters) That cautious mood was evident across markets. Gold and silver surged to all-time highs

Why Seatrium stock is down today: SGX:5E2 slides 3% as tariff jitters hit Asia

Singapore, Jan 19, 2026, 15:05 (SGT) — Regular session Shares of Seatrium Limited (SGX:5E2) slipped about 3% during Monday’s afternoon trading, weighed down by a broader risk-off sentiment across Asia. By 2:50 p.m. SGT, the stock was down 3.1%, trading at S$2.17. (StockAnalysis) The decline stood out, hitting a cyclical stock that investors often track for signals on project execution and risk appetite. Singapore’s Straits Times Index dropped 0.5% by 1:50 p.m., dragged lower alongside broad losses across Asia as new tariff threats from Washington rattled markets. (The Straits Times) Seatrium’s short-term swings tend to get amplified during volatile stretches.

MACOM (MTSI) stock price near $225 high as Stifel lifts target and proxy sets March vote

MACOM (MTSI) stock price near $225 high as Stifel lifts target and proxy sets March vote

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 20:22 EST — Market closed. Shares of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (MTSI) closed last week close to their 52-week peak following a new price-target boost from Wall Street. U.S. markets were shut Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. (Nasdaq) The pause matters because MACOM’s move has been abrupt, and holiday gaps can amplify it. Once trading picks up again, the stock must show it can sustain recent levels without leaning on the thin, late-week momentum. It arrives amid investors juggling two major forces: enthusiasm for AI-driven demand and a more volatile macro environment.

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 20:13 EST — Market closed. Fabrinet shares closed the final U.S. session down 0.7% at $494.45, slipping from an intraday range of $485.83 to $505.39. Around 497,000 shares changed hands. The stock won’t see any new data on Monday. U.S. markets are closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so trading resumes Tuesday. (New York Stock Exchange) That’s important for FN since this holiday-shortened week compresses several key events into just a few trading days. Among them: Thursday’s U.S. personal income and outlays report for October and November, set for 10 a.m. ET. The release

ASE Technology Holding (ASX) stock price near $19.41 before MLK Day break: what traders watch next

New York, January 18, 2026, 18:59 EST — The market has closed. ASE Technology Holding Co Ltd’s U.S.-listed shares (ASX) closed Friday 1.1% higher at $19.41, bouncing between $19.37 and $19.59 during the session. Roughly 6.5 million shares traded hands.

Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, noted the S&P 500 staying “within spitting distance of 7,000” has left most investors feeling comfortable two

Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) stock stretches a five-day run into MLK shutdown — what to watch next

New York, January 18, 2026, 18:51 EST — The market has closed for the day. Monolithic Power Systems Inc shares rose 2.34% to finish at $1,033.17 on Friday, marking their fifth consecutive gain. The stock outpaced several analog and mixed-signal chip rivals during the session. (MarketWatch) The move unfolded as U.S. stocks finished almost unchanged in a volatile session before a long weekend. Semiconductor stocks stood out as some of the stronger performers, despite the main indexes posting weekly declines. “One of the other reasons markets have been flat-lining is we’re at the start of the earnings season,” said Anthony

Analog Devices stock: Oppenheimer lifts target, but ADI slips into MLK market break

Analog Devices stock: Oppenheimer lifts target, but ADI slips into MLK market break

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 18:24 EST — Market closed. Shares of Analog Devices Inc dipped on Friday, despite Oppenheimer lifting its price target for the chipmaker. The stock headed into the extended U.S. holiday weekend under pressure. Why it matters now: with the market shut on Monday, chip investors face a shortened week as they weigh if demand is gaining traction beyond tech’s hottest sectors. For ADI, the next move hinges less on a single rating update and more on whether orders from industrial and automotive clients continue to recover. (NASDAQ Trader) ADI ended the session at $300.25, slipping

Philip Morris stock heads into MLK Day break higher — here’s what matters next

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 14:51 (EST) — Market closed Philip Morris International Inc shares ended Friday at $173.62, rising 0.6% and marking their seventh consecutive day of gains ahead of the U.S. market’s long weekend. (StockAnalysis) The timing is key since Wall Street will be closed Monday, Jan. 19, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, squeezing the first full earnings week into just four sessions. Liquidity tends to dry up, and minor news can pack a bigger punch than normal. (New York Stock Exchange) Company-specific updates have been scarce lately, though a filing earlier this week drew focus on

Morgan Stanley stock price slips into the long weekend — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 14:17 (EST) — Market closed. Morgan Stanley’s U.S.-listed shares (MS.N) ended Friday down 1.1%, closing at $189.09. The stock fluctuated between $188.96 and $192.69 throughout the session. This shift is significant since bank stocks no longer move just on earnings reports. Investors are betting more on upcoming triggers — be it corporate earnings, interest rates, or Washington developments — and Morgan Stanley is caught squarely in the middle of that. The firm also serves as a key indicator of risk appetite: a surge in dealmaking boosts fee revenue, while any market downturn can quickly drag

The surge came after new demand signals for its Wegovy obesity drug and a UK approval for a higher Wegovy dose brought the stock back into focus for investors. (MarketWatch) This stock move is significant as investors seek solid proof that Novo can expand Wegovy beyond injections and compete with Eli Lilly in the fiercely contested obesity drug market, a key growth battleground. Markets were closed over the weekend, so Monday will
