NovaBay Pharmaceuticals stock doubles as NBY volatility flares again — what to watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 18:35 EST — Market closed Shares of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Inc soared on Friday, closing up roughly 103% at $19.16. Over 10 million shares changed hands, market data showed. NovaBay is back on momentum screens before the next U.S. session, trading in a price range unseen for over a year. Why it matters now: NovaBay’s size means its price often moves on volume, not news. When that shift hits before a weekend, the following open becomes a gauge of who’s left to buy. The stock moved between $9.69 and $19.95 in regular trading, then was last

Oil prices in focus after U.S. Venezuela strike: Brent, WTI set for volatile reopen

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 12:52 ET Oil traders were braced for a volatile open on Sunday after Venezuela’s state-run PDVSA asked some joint ventures to cut crude output as a U.S. oil embargo froze exports following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro in a strike on Saturday, sources said. The company pointed to swelling inventories and a shortage of diluents — lighter oil used to thin heavy crude for shipment — the sources said.  Reuters Brent crude, the international benchmark, last settled at $60.75 a barrel on Friday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at $57.32.

PBF Energy stock set for volatility after U.S. strikes Venezuela, Maduro captured

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:27 ET — Market closed PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF) shares are set to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen after the United States said it struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, injecting new uncertainty into the country’s oil exports. PBF shares last traded at $28.53, up about 5.2% from the prior close, after trading between $27.33 and $28.79 in the last session. The shock move matters now because Venezuela’s export system has already been constrained and traders are trying to gauge whether flows tighten further or eventually normalize under a political transition.

Silver tumbles from $80 record as SLV, PSLV traders brace for more swings

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:08 ET Silver fell sharply on Monday after touching a record above $80 an ounce, a reversal that rippled through popular silver-backed products such as BlackRock’s iShares Silver Trust and Sprott’s Physical Silver Trust. Reuters+2BlackRock+2 The pullback matters because silver’s surge has turned the metal into one of 2025’s standout trades, pulling in investors who want liquid exposure through exchange-traded products instead of dealing with coins, bars or futures contracts. Reuters+1 Now, year-end positioning is colliding with shifting safe-haven demand and tougher collateral rules in the futures market, making the rally more vulnerable to abrupt

Circle Internet Group (CRCL) Stock Update: Year‑End Volatility, USDC Catalysts, and Analyst Forecasts Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 3:03 p.m. ET — Market closed Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) is heading into the final trading week of 2025 with investors focused on three big forces that continue to dictate the stock’s day‑to‑day swings: USDC stablecoin circulation, interest‑rate sensitivity tied to reserve income, and fast‑moving regulation that is reshaping who can issue “digital dollars” in the U.S. and abroad. With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, the next opportunity for price discovery comes Monday morning. That matters for CRCL because it has remained a sentiment‑heavy name since its blockbuster IPO—capable of sharp moves

IonQ Stock (IONQ) Drops on Holiday-Week Volatility: Latest Company News, Analyst Targets, and What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

As of 8:59 p.m. ET in New York on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, U.S. stock trading is finished for the week—and IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) is ending it with a fresh reminder of just how volatile the “quantum computing stock” trade can be. IonQ shares fell about 7.4% in Friday’s session to roughly $46, after changing hands in a wide range near $45.8 to $50.1 on volume around 19.7 million shares. MarketBeat The pullback landed as the broader market drifted only slightly lower in thin, post-Christmas trading—a backdrop that can magnify swings in high-beta, story-driven names like quantum computing pure

AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) Stock News Today: BlueBird 6 Launch Triggers Wild Swing as 2026 Direct-to-Cell Ambitions Come Into Focus

Dec. 25, 2025 — AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) is ending 2025 the way speculative “future-of-connectivity” stocks tend to end years: with a headline-grabbing technical milestone, a massive burst of trading activity, and a share price that refuses to move in a straight line. The catalyst is BlueBird 6—AST SpaceMobile’s first next‑generation satellite aimed at delivering 4G/5G cellular broadband directly to standard, unmodified smartphones. The company confirmed the satellite reached orbit after launching from India late on Dec. 23 (U.S. time), and the stock’s reaction on Christmas Eve was dramatic: ASTS spiked early, then reversed hard into the close, underscoring

AiRWA Inc (YYAI) Stock News, Forecasts and Analysis for Dec. 24, 2025: New 10‑Q, $15.69M Offering, and Why the Tape Is So Volatile

December 24, 2025 — AiRWA Inc. (NASDAQ: YYAI) heads into the Christmas Eve session with the kind of “small-cap-on-a-capital-raise” price action that tends to keep both momentum traders and long-term investors glued to Level II. After closing around $0.98 on Dec. 23, YYAI traded around $1.01 pre-market on Dec. 24 on some platforms, underscoring just how jumpy liquidity can be when fresh filings and financing news hit within the same week. StockAnalysis+1 That volatility also shows up in the stock’s extreme 52-week range reported by major data providers (roughly $0.8635 to $264.42). Importantly, those “high” numbers can look surreal after

Luminar Technologies Stock (LAZR) in Focus: Chapter 11, Nasdaq Delisting, and Analyst Forecasts as Volatility Surges (Dec. 20, 2025)

December 20, 2025 — Luminar Technologies stock (ticker: LAZR) has entered one of the most extreme—and most misunderstood—phases a public company can experience: trading during an active Chapter 11 bankruptcy process while facing imminent Nasdaq delisting. At the last close on Friday, December 19, 2025, LAZR finished around $0.6044 after a massive one-day move and extraordinary trading volume (hundreds of millions of shares). Finviz But the bigger story isn’t the candle on the chart—it’s the clock on the wall: Nasdaq trading is set to end soon, and the company itself has warned that prices during Chapter 11 may have little
