CSL share price slips after close as RBC upgrade turns focus to Feb. 11 results

Sydney, Jan 21, 2026, 16:51 AEDT — After-hours update. CSL Ltd shares slipped 0.33% on Wednesday, closing at A$176.11. The drop trimmed gains made since early January lows as investors balanced renewed broker backing against ongoing volatility in risk assets. With a market cap near A$85 billion, CSL’s stock still trades well under last year’s highs. (Intelligent Investor) CSL’s move carries weight, given it’s among Australia’s most widely held healthcare stocks and a significant index component. Changes in sentiment here often send ripples across local portfolios. With reporting season looming, investors are now focused squarely on the upcoming update covering

Fortescue share price rises as FMG investors eye quarterly report and iron ore jitters

SYDNEY, Jan 21, 2026, 17:02 AEDT — The market has closed. Fortescue Ltd (FMG.AX) shares climbed 1.7% to close at A$22.64 on Wednesday, recovering slightly after a weak period for iron ore-related stocks ahead of the miner’s upcoming production report. The day’s trading saw the stock fluctuate between A$22.13 and A$22.76. Meanwhile, BHP Group rose 1.5% and Rio Tinto added 2.6%. (Google) This move is significant since Fortescue’s profits remain heavily tied to iron ore — the key steelmaking ingredient that fluctuates with China’s construction activity and changes in steel production. When iron ore prices drop, Fortescue typically takes a

Lynas Rare Earths share price jumps after quarterly numbers; floor-price talk returns

Sydney, Jan 21, 2026, 16:52 AEDT — Market closed. Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC) shares jumped 6.7% Wednesday to close at A$16.27, boosted by a strong quarterly revenue surge driven by rising rare-earth prices. (Google) The rally comes amid a hot policy debate shaking the sector. “We don’t need governments to buy our product,” CEO Amanda Lacaze told analysts. This as Australia and others mull price supports to back non-Chinese supply chains. (Reuters) Rare earths power the magnets in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense equipment. China remains the main player in refining and controls benchmark prices, meaning even

ANZ share price drops 2% as risk-off hits Australian banks; CPI and RBA loom

Sydney, Jan 21, 2026, 16:52 AEDT — Market closed. ANZ Group Holdings (ANZ.AX) slipped 2.1% to close at A$36.17 on Wednesday. The shares have dropped roughly 3% over the last two days, moving in a range from A$36.06 to A$36.76 on a turnover of around 3.43 million shares. (Investing.com) The pullback is significant since Australia’s major banks hold central roles in local portfolios and index weightings. Rate bets have shown signs of faltering once more.

Commonwealth Bank share price slides again as banks drag ASX; the next big dates for CBA stock

Sydney, Jan 21, 2026, 16:51 AEDT — Market closed Commonwealth Bank of Australia shares fell 2.2% to A$147.22 on Wednesday, after trading between A$146.98 and A$149.08. The stock remains well off its 52-week high of A$192.00. (Investing.com) This matters because CBA is the top stock on the local exchange, and banks have frequently steered the index’s direction. The S&P/ASX 200 dropped 0.4% for a third consecutive day, dragged down by rate-sensitive sectors but lifted slightly by stronger miners. (ABC) The global mood is clearly shifting toward “risk-off,” as investors retreat from riskier assets amid the U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland and

Coca-Cola stock bucks tariff-driven selloff — here’s what KO investors watch next

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 21:32 (ET) — Market closed. Coca-Cola’s shares jumped 1.9% to $71.75 on Tuesday, bucking the broader market’s drop amid fresh tariff concerns. Volume topped recent averages, pushing the stock close to its 52-week high. (MarketWatch) This move stood out because it matched a well-worn pattern: investors dumping riskier bets and flocking to stable names. New tariff threats linked to a U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland sent markets sharply into “risk-off” territory — traders slashing riskier holdings — with staples catching the safe-haven demand. “It’s all coming together for a pretty significant risk-off day,” said Wasif Latif,

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock slides as Wall Street selloff bites — what to watch next

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 9:37 PM EST — Market closed Super Micro Computer dropped 3.77% to $31.41 on Tuesday, ending a brief two-day rally amid a selloff in tech and hardware stocks that dragged the wider market lower. Volume reached 39.5 million shares, surpassing its 50-day average, according to MarketWatch data. (MarketWatch) Tuesday’s sell-off wasn’t limited to just one stock—it weighed on the entire market. Wall Street’s major indexes suffered their steepest one-day drop in three months as new tariff threats against Europe stirred up volatility concerns. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell below their 50-day moving averages,

IonQ stock whipsaws in late trade as quantum names get caught in tech selloff

IonQ stock whipsaws in late trade as quantum names get caught in tech selloff

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 21:33 EST — Market closed Shares of IonQ, Inc. slipped 0.3% to $50.66 following Tuesday’s close, after moving between $47.71 and $54.17 during the session on volume of roughly 24.6 million shares. U.S. stocks tumbled late in the session, dragged down by new tariff news and a surge in risk aversion that slammed growth and speculative sectors the hardest. (Investors) That context is key for IonQ, given how quantum-computing stocks now act as high-beta plays, typically swinging more sharply than the broader market when risk sentiment shifts. Peers saw similar moves: D-Wave Quantum dropped 6.2%,

Capital One stock slides as rate-cap politics return, earnings next up

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 21:16 EST — Market closed. Capital One Financial shares tumbled 4.36%, closing at $228.72 on Tuesday, underperforming several major financial rivals as U.S. stocks broadly retreated. The stock saw volume around 7 million shares, well above its 50-day average of 4.1 million, finishing roughly 12% below its 52-week peak reached earlier this month. (MarketWatch) With markets closed until Wednesday, traders are wrestling with a policy headline that still lacks clarity. President Donald Trump has proposed capping credit card interest rates at 10% for one year starting Jan. 20, but the White House hasn’t explained how

Wells Fargo stock price slips as credit-card rate cap fight hits banks — what’s next

New York, January 20, 2026, 21:16 EST — Markets are closed. Wells Fargo & Company shares dipped 1.9% Tuesday, closing at $86.66, as bank stocks slid ahead of the upcoming U.S. trading day. Washington remains the focal point. President Donald Trump is advocating for a 10% limit on credit card interest rates, but whether this will come through executive action or legislation is still unclear. This matters since credit cards are unsecured loans. Banks price them based on risk, and a strict cap on the annual percentage rate (APR) can push lenders to restrict credit or redesign their offerings. Wells

New York, January 20, 2026, 21:23 ET — Market closed Spotify Technology S.A. (SPOT) shares climbed 1.2% Tuesday, closing at $510.49, bucking a broader market downturn. The stock fluctuated between $503.96 and $514.98 during the session. (Investing.com) Spotify’s relative strength stands out, especially given its history as a volatile stock. The company is entering a period where its own news could overshadow broader market moves. A U.S. price increase kicks in during February billing, but debate persists over just how much pricing power the streamer holds. Feb. 10 is already circled on calendars. Spotify will release its quarterly results then,
