Natural gas price stock UNG wobbles before the bell as Henry Hub slips — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:39 EST — Premarket The United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), which follows daily changes in Henry Hub natural gas futures, dipped roughly 0.3% to $11.29 in premarket trading Wednesday, down from $11.32 at Tuesday’s close. Leveraged ETFs like ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas (BOIL) usually show more volatile moves when gas prices shift. (Investing.com) NYMEX Henry Hub February natural gas futures slipped roughly 0.8% to $3.391 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) in early electronic trading. Henry Hub serves as the primary U.S. pricing hub for physical gas deliveries and acts as a key

Silver price breaks $90 record as SLV and silver stocks brace for U.S. open

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:13 EST — Premarket Spot silver — cash metal for immediate delivery — broke above $90 an ounce for the first time on Wednesday, putting silver-price-linked stocks on watch ahead of the U.S. open. It touched a record $91.53 and was last up 4% at $90.46, and has climbed nearly 27% in the first 14 days of 2026 as traders leaned harder into Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations. “Well-known haven characteristics amid heightened geopolitical risks, elevated fiscal uncertainty, and concerns about Fed independence,” are driving prices higher, said Jamie Dutta, chief market analyst at Nemo.money, who

Gold price hits another record — what GLD and gold stocks are doing before the open

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:22 ET — Premarket Gold hit a new high on Wednesday as tensions in Iran and doubts about the Federal Reserve’s independence pushed investors back into safe-haven assets. Spot gold rose 0.9% to $4,627.72 an ounce by 1001 GMT, after earlier peaking at a record $4,639.48. Meanwhile, silver climbed past $90 for the first time. Jamie Dutta, chief market analyst at Nemo.money, said the metals are benefiting from their “well-known haven characteristics.” (Reuters) This shift matters for gold stocks, as the metal’s rally serves a dual purpose: acting as a hedge against political uncertainty and

Dow Jones futures slip before bank earnings and retail sales data hit Wall Street

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:13 EST — Premarket Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped on Wednesday as investors prepared for earnings reports from major U.S. banks and a series of economic data releases that might shift expectations around rate cuts. By 5:10 a.m. ET, Dow E-mini futures, which follow the cash index, had dropped 83 points, or 0.17%. (Reuters) Wall Street pulled back after flirting with new highs early in the week. The Dow hit a record 49,590.20 on Monday but then faded as attention shifted to the initial wave of fourth-quarter earnings and ongoing policy uncertainty weighing on
Tesla stock slips premarket after Musk says Full Self-Driving will be subscription-only from Feb. 14

Tesla stock slips premarket after Musk says Full Self-Driving will be subscription-only from Feb. 14

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 06:12 EST — Premarket Tesla shares dipped roughly 0.4% to $447.20 in premarket trading Wednesday. This followed CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will end one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving software after Feb. 14. (Business Insider) This shift is significant since FSD stands as one of Tesla’s key plays for boosting higher-margin software income, especially now that vehicle demand and pricing are carrying more weight in the core business. Dropping the upfront purchase option might slow customer uptake and alter Tesla’s revenue recognition timeline. Investors, already jittery over how “autonomy” will translate into

Sensex slips again, Nifty ends below 25,700 as tariff worries bite — Infosys earnings land after the bell

MUMBAI, Jan 14, 2026, 16:20 IST — After-hours Indian shares slipped on Wednesday, with the Nifty 50 ending down 0.26% at 25,665.6 and the Sensex dropping 0.29% to 83,382.71. This marked seven losses in eight sessions. Weak risk appetite persisted, weighed down by worries over U.S. tariffs and ongoing foreign selling. Foreign portfolio investors have offloaded roughly $2 billion of Indian stocks this month, following a record $19 billion outflow in 2025. “Geopolitical concerns have led to an increase in business uncertainty and volatility,” said Amnish Aggarwal, director of institutional research at PL Capital.

Figma stock (FIG) dips in premarket after 8% slide as Goldman Sachs starts coverage

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 05:56 (ET) — Premarket Figma (FIG.N) shares slipped 0.1% to $33.52 in early trading Wednesday, after dropping 7.8% to $33.56 on Tuesday. Volume surged to 14.27 million shares, nearly twice its typical daily average. The stock remains close to a 52-week low of $32.83. (Investing.com) The swing is crucial since FIG remains in price discovery post its 2025 IPO, facing fresh coverage and emerging “AI” spending themes amid a shareholder base that’s still in flux. In this environment, even minor headlines can pack more punch than they would for a more established software company. Goldman
FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

FTSE 100 climbs on miners and AstraZeneca as record gold keeps UK stocks in play

London, Jan 14, 2026, 10:58 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 0.3% to 10,170.81 in mid-morning trade, helped by gold-linked miners and a lift in AstraZeneca. Endeavour Mining gained 3.4%, AstraZeneca rose 2.6% and Glencore added 2.3%, while the index came into the day after edging down 0.03% on Tuesday. (Hargreaves Lansdown) The tone matters now because the UK’s blue-chip index is heavy on miners, oil producers and global defensives, so it tends to track big swings in commodities and rates expectations rather than the health of the local consumer. Gold and silver set the pace again after
Bitmine (BMNR) stock on watch after company says crypto pile hit $14 bln ahead of share vote

Bitmine (BMNR) stock on watch after company says crypto pile hit $14 bln ahead of share vote

New York, January 14, 2026, 05:46 (EST) — Premarket Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies edged up 0.2% in premarket action Wednesday, hitting $31.22. The move came after the company disclosed a larger ethereum holding in its latest operations update. Ether, the token behind the Ethereum blockchain, gained roughly 6%, while bitcoin picked up about 3%. Bitmine now acts more like a quick-moving stand-in for ether than a straightforward mining play. Its stock often amplifies crypto price shifts — and the company’s funding decisions can further fuel the volatility. The second layer is now the key issue. Bitmine is pushing shareholders
Viatris stock steadies in premarket after a 5% jump on JPM conference remarks — what investors watch next

Viatris stock steadies in premarket after a 5% jump on JPM conference remarks — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 05:46 EST — Premarket Viatris Inc shares showed little movement in premarket trading Wednesday, following a more than 5% jump the day before. The stock was indicated near $13.37. The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference holds weight because it can quickly change the sector’s mood, particularly for mid-cap firms where a single comment from management can steer the conversation. For Viatris, investors are zeroed in on one question: will it keep converting its vast portfolio into cash, and how will it deploy those proceeds. Viatris came about in November 2020 when Mylan merged with Pfizer’s Upjohn

Australia stock market today: ASX 200 ends at two-month high as oil and copper lift miners, banks slide

SYDNEY, Jan 14, 2026, 21:52 AEDT — Market closed Australian shares ticked up on Wednesday, with the S&P/ASX 200 closing 12.1 points, or 0.14%, higher at 8,820.6. The All Ordinaries also nudged up, gaining 13.3 points, or 0.15%, to finish at 9,151.8. (CommBank) Miners and energy stocks pushed the market higher, but major banks weighed it down. The mining sector index gained 0.9%, with energy climbing 2.3%. Financials dropped 0.7%, while Commonwealth Bank of Australia dipped 1.3%. Craig Sidney, senior investment adviser at Shaw and Partners, noted that bank selling has persisted amid expectations of tighter policy, with investors shifting
Snowflake stock slides after Barclays downgrade, putting SNOW’s valuation debate back in play

Snowflake stock slides after Barclays downgrade, putting SNOW’s valuation debate back in play

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 05:28 EST — Premarket Snowflake Inc shares hovered near $209 in premarket trade on Wednesday after ending Tuesday down 4.94% at $209.39, as a Barclays downgrade pushed investors back to an old worry: how much upside is left at this price. The pullback came alongside a broader retreat in tech shares. (Investing.com) The downgrade matters now because Snowflake has become a kind of temperature check for high-growth cloud software. When a big bank goes neutral, it can spill into the whole group, even if nothing at the company changed overnight. It also lands early in
