Dow and S&P 500 hit fresh record closes as chip rally shrugs off tariff noise

U.S. stocks closed at record highs on Friday, with the S&P 500 ending up 0.65% at 6,966.28 and the Dow up 0.48% at 49,504.07, as chipmakers led a broad push higher to wrap the first full week of 2026. The Nasdaq gained 0.82% to 23,671.35, and the PHLX semiconductor index jumped 2.7% to a record; Broadcom rose 3.8% and Vistra surged after Meta agreed to buy power from its nuclear plants. “Investors are getting granular and picking the winners and losers,” said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments. The rally came with investors trying to map the next Federal Reserve move after the unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in December even as job gains missed forecasts. Traders in rate futures cut expectations for near-term easing, with one Reuters tally showing a 44% chance of a cut by April, and bets shifting toward June; Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said “the low-hire environment continues,” while Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said, “Inflation is still too high.”

Diageo plc stock: Kenya court delay keeps $2.3bn Asahi deal in focus ahead of next week

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:20 GMT — Market closed Kenya’s High Court has pushed the hearing on a bid to block Diageo’s $2.3 billion sale of its local unit EABL to Japan’s Asahi Holdings to Jan. 20. Judge Bahati Mwamuye said the involved parties can proceed with preliminary moves, provided the deal isn’t finalized before that date. EABL responded, “We welcome the court's decision to allow the regulatory phases of this transaction to continue.” The lawsuit was brought by Kenyan beer distributor Bia Tosha, tied to a dispute going back to 2016. Despite the hold-up, the deal parties still aim to close in the second half of the year.
GSK stock: $50m Noetik deal and Jemperli royalty lawsuit sharpen focus on Feb 4 results

GSK stock: $50m Noetik deal and Jemperli royalty lawsuit sharpen focus on Feb 4 results

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 03:42 EST — Market closed AnaptysBio said it filed a motion asking a U.S. court to dismiss part of a claim by GSK plc’s oncology unit, escalating a dispute over royalties tied to sales of cancer drug Jemperli, a PD-1 inhibitor — a kind of immunotherapy that helps the immune system attack tumours. Tesaro sued AnaptysBio in Delaware in November seeking to terminate a 2014 licence and halve royalty and milestone payments, while AnaptysBio countersued and pointed to trials involving rival PD-1 drugs including Merck’s Keytruda; the case is set for a July 14–17 trial and the court is expected to hear the motion by early March, with royalties under the licence rising to 25% on annual sales above $2.5 billion through patents expiring in 2035-36. GSK did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and its U.S.-listed shares ended Friday up 0.3% at $50.39.

  • Ceres Power Tanks 25.8% in Late June as Investors Move Out of Growth, Firm Issues More Shares
    July 4, 2026, 3:19 AM EDT. Ceres Power Holdings plunged 25.8% in the last week of June, adding to a hard month where the stock is down 41.8%. Shares had been up nearly 300% from January to May. The UK company makes money by licensing out its solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) tech to partners like Doosan and Shell instead of producing the cells itself. The drop came as traders pulled out of risky tech and after Ceres raised £100 million through a placing, putting 17.8 million new shares on the market and hitting holders with dilution. SOFC demand could reach 22GW each year by 2030 with AI data center growth. Some analysts now see the fall as a possible entry for investors looking at oversold UK names.
