Caesars Entertainment stock eases after Susquehanna upgrade pop, with Feb. 17 earnings in view

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 10:34 EST — Regular session Caesars Entertainment, Inc. shares were off about 1.1% at $24.80 in morning trading on Friday, after starting out higher and seesawing between $24.54 and $26.05.

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

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.

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.

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%.

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.
