Murphy Oil stock slips after $500 million bond pricing; traders eye January earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:24 EST — Regular session Murphy Oil shares were down 0.4% at $32.60 on Friday, a day after the company priced a $500 million bond sale that reshapes its near-term debt calendar. The refinancing matters because oil producers are still trying to keep maturities pushed out, even when crude moves around and credit is picky. Senior notes are long-term bonds that sit ahead of other unsecured claims if a company runs into trouble. Murphy’s new paper also comes with a cost. The company is swapping out 2027 and 2028 notes for a longer 2034 maturity,

EQT stock drifts as U.S. natural gas prices slide again, with storage and weather in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:22 (EST) — Regular session EQT Corp slipped 0.2% to $52.12 during Friday morning trading. The move followed a selloff in the previous session, as investors pulled back from gas-linked producers while U.S. gas prices softened. U.S. natural gas futures slipped roughly 2%, landing near $3.33 per million British thermal units (mmBtu)—the figure traders use to benchmark gas deals. These small price shifts have an outsized effect right now, with just a few cents making or breaking cash flow forecasts for producers linked closely to Henry Hub pricing, according to markets.businessinsider.com.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:32 (EST) — Regular session Nvidia shares slipped 0.2% to $184.61 in morning trading on Friday after Reuters reported the AI-chip leader is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers for its H200 graphics processing units, or GPUs. The new terms leave customers no option to cancel, seek refunds or change configurations once orders are placed, two people briefed on the matter told Reuters. Chinese firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200s priced around $27,000 each, the report said, outstripping Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000 chips.

Silver price snaps back, lifting SLV stock after U.S. jobs data; CPI is next test

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 EST — Regular session iShares Silver Trust shares jumped roughly 3.2% to $71.94 in Friday morning trading in New York, moving higher as silver prices strengthened. Other silver-related names saw gains as well—Global X Silver Miners ETF added around 1.5%, while First Majestic Silver climbed approximately 4.7%. Silver’s rebound is turning heads, after days of volatility driven by big rules-based trades and more investors rethinking U.S. rates. The annual “reshuffle” for the Bloomberg Commodity Index—known to prompt forced buying and selling of futures—has been cranking up the heat. Spot silver fell 3.2% to $75.64

Bitcoin price today: BTC steadies near $90,000 as Coinbase, Strategy stocks slide on Fed-rate rethink

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:12 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin was down 0.3% at $90,016 early Friday in the U.S., trading as low as $89,641 and topping out at $91,384. Ether lost 0.4% to $3,076. Shares of Coinbase slipped 2.7%. Strategy, the bitcoin-treasury firm, tumbled 4.9%, a steeper drop than the cryptocurrency itself. This pause is in focus as traders weigh the Fed’s next move following new U.S. numbers. Bitcoin’s fortunes often mirror shifts in risk appetite—and with no yield to offer, it tends to stall whenever rate expectations tilt toward higher-for-longer. Flows aren’t helping either.

Barrick Mining stock price ticks up as gold steadies; U.S. jobs data and Feb. 5 results loom

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:06 EST — Regular session Barrick Mining shares rose 0.7% to $47.78 by 10:06 a.m. EST, as investors stayed parked in gold-linked names after a steep run in the metal. (StockAnalysis) The setup matters right now because gold trades are being driven as much by rates and the dollar as by demand for jewelry or bars. For miners, a small move in the gold price can change margins quickly, and the market has been jumpy. U.S. nonfarm payrolls — the Labor Department’s monthly snapshot of hiring — rose 50,000 in December, below forecasts, while the

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 (EST) — Regular session Vistra Corp (VST) shares rose about 14.4% to $172.26 in morning trade on Friday after Meta Platforms said it signed 20-year agreements to buy power from three Vistra nuclear plants.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:03 EST — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 14.30 points, or 0.03%, to 49,280.41 by about 9:45 a.m. EST, after a choppy open. The S&P 500 rose 0.28% and the Nasdaq gained 0.29%. (Investing.com) The early move mattered less than the message from the jobs data: hiring looks soft enough to keep pressure off yields, but not so weak that it screams recession.
