NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:10 ET — Market closed Mainland China’s A-shares — yuan-denominated shares traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen bourses — will resume trading on Monday, Jan. 5, after the New Year holiday shut onshore markets.

Japan Exchange Group stock in focus as Tokyo Stock Exchange set to reopen Jan 5

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 08:10 ET — Market closed. Japan Exchange Group, the operator of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, edged up 0.1% to $10.67 in its U.S.-traded American depositary receipt (ADR) on Friday, a U.S. certificate that tracks foreign shares.

New York Stock Exchange owner ICE stock slips below $160 heading into key U.S. jobs week

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:53 ET — Market closed Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, last closed at $159.99 on Friday, down 1.2% on the day.

That matters for exchange operators because their transaction revenue is tied to how much investors trade. Clearing — the back-office process that guarantees both sides of a trade — can also benefit when volumes pick up. On Friday, the Dow

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:20 ET — Market closed Bloom Energy Corp shares surged on the first trading day of 2026, closing Friday up 13.58% at $98.69.

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:30 ET — Market closed Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. shares ended Friday’s session up 13.18% at $12.97, after the first U.S. trading day of 2026 put smaller, higher-volatility names back in focus. The stock was last indicated at $13.04 in after-hours trading. MarketBeat The jump matters because Eos is one of the market’s more heavily shorted energy-storage names, which can turn a routine bounce into a faster rally as bearish traders buy shares back to limit losses.
