Citigroup stock rises 3% as earnings hangover fades and price targets climb

New York, January 15, 2026, 10:14 EST — Regular session Citigroup shares climbed roughly 3.3% to $116.11 in early Thursday trading, rallying past other major U.S. banks following a mixed initial response to its quarterly results. Investors remain torn on Citi’s value if its overhaul delivers more consistent profits — and whether political and regulatory hurdles will curb potential gains. The stock has shifted quickly from a “fix-it” narrative to a “prove it” challenge. The deal market’s comeback is a key draw. “We are seeing an accelerating pipeline in M&A and IPOs,” Morgan Stanley CFO Sharon Yeshaya told Reuters. Citi,

Gold price today: Record rally cools, but MCX gold still eyes Rs 1.5 lakh

New Delhi, Jan 15, 2026, 17:07 IST Gold prices slipped on Thursday after hitting a record high the previous day, as traders took profits and demand for safe havens waned following U.S. President Donald Trump’s calmer stance on Iran and Washington’s decision to hold off on tariffs for critical minerals. Spot gold dropped 0.4% to $4,602.99 an ounce. Silver tumbled 3% to $89.97, retreating from its all-time peak of $93.57, while platinum and palladium also declined. Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy, noted the metals “slid after Trump signalled” a pause on Iran-related actions. (Reuters) The pullback follows

ASX 200 hits two-month high as miners lead, BHP ends at two-year peak

Sydney, January 15, 2026, 21:59 AEDT — Market closed Australian shares ended Thursday at an over two-month high, with miners doing most of the work as investors leaned back into resource names. The S&P/ASX 200 closed 0.5% higher at 8,861.70, while BHP finished at its strongest level in more than two years and Rio Tinto rose 0.4%. (Indo Premier) The turn into miners matters because it has started to look less like a one-day commodity bounce and more like a positioning shift away from banks that ran hard in late 2025. “Valuation fatigue in banks and strong tailwinds for miners

ConocoPhillips stock (COP) dips in premarket as oil slides; Australia gas discovery adds a wrinkle

New York, January 15, 2026, 05:26 EST — Premarket ConocoPhillips (COP) slipped roughly 1% in Thursday’s U.S. premarket, hitting $99.27. The drop pared some of Wednesday’s gains, as oil prices retreated. (marketbeat.com) Timing is key.

ConocoPhillips jumped 4.02% to close at $100.34 on Wednesday, bucking the broader market declines as the S&P 500 dropped 0.53% and the Dow dipped 0.09%.

Twilio stock steadies in premarket after 5% drop as tech nerves linger

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 04:58 EST — Premarket action underway. Twilio Inc’s shares climbed roughly 1.7% to $124.92 in premarket action on Thursday, rebounding after a 5.2% drop the day before that left the stock at $123.03 at Wednesday’s close. Timing is key. Investors have been rapidly offloading pricey tech and software stocks, only to snap some back almost immediately, as earnings season expands and geopolitical news floods the tape. Twilio’s initial rebound offers a glimpse into whether Wednesday’s selloff was driven mainly by macro factors — and if dip-buyers remain ready to jump in when the Nasdaq falters.

Rivian stock tumbles on UBS sell call — what to watch before Thursday’s open

New York, January 14, 2026, 21:33 (EST) — Market closed. Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) shares dropped 7.2% to $17.50 on Wednesday following a downgrade from UBS, which cut the EV maker to Sell from Neutral. Despite raising its price target to $15, UBS warned the stock remains “prone to sentiment swings.” (TipRanks) With U.S. markets closed, the downgrade hits as a reality check for a stock driven more by hype — autonomy, software, a cheaper model — than by new information. The market’s focus now is on whether Rivian’s next move will come from strong deliveries and improved margins, or if

Why XCF Global stock is moving today: SAFX rises after Bank of America mandate, Soule discloses 49.6% stake

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 08:21 EST — Premarket Shares of XCF Global (SAFX) were up about 11.5% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the sustainable aviation fuel maker said it was weighing funding options for a second plant in Nevada. The company has pegged the New Rise Reno 2 build at roughly $300 million, with an output jump that could double capacity to about 80 million gallons a year.
