  • U.S. Stocks May Slide in Early Friday Trading Amid Intel Weakness and Geopolitical Concerns
    January 24, 2026, 3:19 AM EST. U.S. stocks are expected to open lower on Friday with S&P 500 futures down 0.2 percent after sharp gains earlier in the week. The rise followed President Trump's retreat from military action over Greenland and tariffs on Europe. Focus has shifted back to the Middle East as Trump warns an "armada" heads toward Iran amid regional tensions. Intel (INTC) shares plunged nearly 13 percent pre-market despite better-than-expected earnings, due to weak guidance. Thursday's session saw modest gains for major U.S. indexes, partly recovering from Tuesday's drop. Asian markets mostly rose, while European markets showed mixed results. Crude oil prices rebounded around $60.53 a barrel, gold climbed, and the dollar held steady against the yen and euro.
