Macquarie stock slips into the weekend — what investors watch next for ASX:MQG

Macquarie stock slips into the weekend — what investors watch next for ASX:MQG

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:09 AEDT — Market closed. Macquarie Group shares ended Friday down 1.25% at A$206.08, leaving the stock up 2.8% so far this year after the first full week of trading. The S&P/ASX 200 slipped 0.33% to 8,717.8. That matters now because Macquarie tends to trade on a mix of rate expectations and risk appetite. When investors get jumpy about inflation, bond yields and credit spreads, the market often marks down the parts of the business most tied to trading conditions and deal flow. One new talking point sits in its asset-management arm. PitchBook reported Macquarie Asset

Lowe’s stock jumps 4% after Barclays upgrade, with CPI and earnings in focus

New York, January 9, 2026, 21:20 EST — Market closed Shares of Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (LOW) climbed 4.29% on Friday to close at $267.21, their fourth straight gain, as home-improvement names moved with a strong broader tape. The stock ended about 3% below its 52-week high, with volume above its 50-day average, while bigger rival Home Depot rose 4.19%. (MarketWatch) Barclays analyst Seth Sigman upgraded Lowe’s to Overweight from Equal Weight and lifted his price target to $285 from $259. “Overweight” is Wall Street shorthand for an expectation the stock will outperform others in the analyst’s coverage universe; Sigman cited

Valero Energy stock dips on Piper Sandler target cut as Venezuela talks keep traders guessing

Valero Energy stock dips on Piper Sandler target cut as Venezuela talks keep traders guessing

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:36 EST — Regular session Valero Energy Corp (NYSE: VLO) shares were down $5.82, or about 3%, at $185.50 in mid-afternoon trade, after swinging between $182.70 and $194.50. Marathon Petroleum was little changed and Phillips 66 fell about 1.2%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose 0.8%. The move matters now because refiners are trying to price a fast-shifting crude story into near-term earnings. Crack spreads — the gap between crude costs and fuel prices — can swing quickly when geopolitics hits supply, and investors have been quick to fade the latest headlines. U.S.

Accenture stock price today: ACN slips as jobs data resets rate bets, new retail AI push in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:42 EST — Regular session Accenture plc shares were down about 0.6% at $280.15 in early afternoon trading on Friday, after sliding to $277.77 at the session low. The broader market was higher, with exchange-traded funds tracking the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow up between about 0.4% and 0.8%. A softer U.S. jobs report fed the push and pull for rate-sensitive stocks. Nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000 in December, below a 60,000 forecast, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.4%, the Labor Department said. “The Fed will likely hold course for now,” Lindsay Rosner, head of

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:52 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell about 2.4% to $50.96 in afternoon trading, tracking a fresh leg down in U.S. natural gas prices. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures for February were down 6.1% at $3.198 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a common unit used to price gas. (Investing.com South Africa) The moves matter because producers’ realised prices and cash flow are tied, directly or not, to the futures curve. In winter, weather models can flip demand in a hurry, and equities tend to follow the screen even when company news

IREN stock jumps in midday trade as rate-cut bets keep high-beta names in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 12:45 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares rose about 7% to $48.90 on Friday, extending a choppy week for the Nasdaq-listed stock as traders leaned back into higher-risk names. Bitcoin was little changed near $91,067, while peers were mixed, with Riot Platforms up about 3% and Marathon Digital down about 0.4%. The move comes with U.S. stocks grinding higher after a softer December jobs report left expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts broadly intact. “This is a report that’s somewhat within the range of expectations of investors, so they’re not reacting,” Mark Hackett, chief

Tecnoglass stock jumps today — what’s driving TGLS after Apogee’s outlook cut

Tecnoglass stock jumps today — what’s driving TGLS after Apogee’s outlook cut

NEW YORK, January 9, 2026, 11:32 ET — Regular session Tecnoglass Inc shares rose 3.4% on Friday, reversing part of this week’s pullback as building-products names found a bid in a stronger U.S. tape. The stock was up $1.74 at $52.97 in late morning trade. The move matters now because traders have been quick to treat any warning from peers as a read-through for commercial construction demand, where orders can turn fast and price pressure shows up before volumes do. Tecnoglass sells heavily into the U.S., so sentiment swings with every hint that projects are slipping. Friday’s bounce also came

BellRing Brands stock slips as TD Cowen cuts target to $27; BRBR investors eye next catalyst

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:30 EST — Regular session BellRing Brands’ shares were down about 0.1% at $24.73 in late-morning trading after TD Cowen cut its 12-month price target to $27 from $31 and kept a Hold rating, meaning it does not see a clear case to buy at current levels. (MarketBeat) The call matters now because BellRing has been trading closer to its lows than its highs, leaving investors sensitive to any fresh valuation resets from Wall Street. The stock’s 52-week range runs from $22.45 to $80.67. (Nasdaq) TD Cowen analyst Robert Moskow framed the move as part

Oracle stock jumps nearly 3% after soft US jobs data, but AI spending worries linger

New York, January 9, 2026, 11:00 (EST) — Regular session Oracle Corp shares rose nearly 3% on Friday, tracking a broader bounce in U.S. equities after a softer-than-expected jobs report eased pressure on rate-cut expectations. The stock was up 2.9% at $195.07, after trading as low as $188.91 earlier in the session. Wall Street’s main indexes edged higher after the Labor Department reported a 50,000 increase in December nonfarm payrolls, below economists’ 60,000 estimate, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%. Traders still penciled in about 54 basis points of easing this year — a basis point is 0.01 percentage

Sensex, Nifty slump for fifth day — what’s spooking India’s stock market right now

MUMBAI, Jan 9, 2026, 20:50 IST Indian shares fell for a fifth straight session on Friday, with the Nifty 50 closing down 0.75% at 25,683.3 and the Sensex off 0.72% at 83,576.24. Both benchmarks lost about 2.5% for the week, their worst in over three months, while small- and mid-cap indexes slid 3.1% and 2.6%. Oil and gas stocks led declines and Reliance Industries sank 7.4% for the week after it said it does not expect Russian crude deliveries in January; Ashika Global Family Office Services co-founder Amit Jain said extreme tariffs would “increase risk pricing” across assets.

Micron Technology stock drops early — what MU traders are watching after a $400 target

New York, January 9, 2026, 09:40 (EST) — Regular session. Micron Technology, Inc. shares fell about 3.7% to $327.02 in early trading on Friday, extending a pullback after a sharp run in memory-related stocks. The move followed a tech-heavy slide on Thursday, when the Nasdaq fell and the S&P 500 technology index dropped 1.5% as investors picked at AI-linked valuations. “While AI is still hot, there are going to be winners and losers,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. (Reuters) That matters for Micron because its rally has leaned on one theme: tight supply and rising

Datadog stock steadies in premarket after 7.6% slide as Truist cuts target to $140

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 07:00 (EST) — Premarket Datadog (DDOG.O) shares were up 0.7% in premarket trading on Friday at $131.60, after sliding 7.6% to $130.68 at Thursday’s close. (MarketBeat) The timing is awkward for high-growth software. Investors are bracing for the U.S. jobs report and a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, both of which could jolt rate bets and broader risk appetite. (reuters.com) Analysts have started to reset the yardsticks. Truist analyst Miller Jump cut his price target on Datadog to $140 from $195 and kept a Hold rating, saying a “clear
