Swiss Market Index missed Europe’s record rally — what Zurich traders watch next week

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:57 ET — Market closed Swiss stocks on the SIX Swiss Exchange head into next week’s reopening after a holiday pause left Zurich closed on Friday, even as European equities started 2026 at fresh highs. That matters now because the Swiss Market Index (SMI) will have to absorb a burst of global price action in its first session back, from higher bond yields to a firmer dollar. Investors are also watching the Swiss franc, which tends to strengthen when markets turn cautious. A stronger franc can squeeze earnings for global Swiss companies because they report

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:49 ET — Market closed Broadcom Inc. shares rose 0.44% on Friday to close at $347.62, lagging a broad chip-sector rebound in the first U.S. trading session of 2026.

Ibovespa slips as 2026 begins: what moved São Paulo stocks and what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:24 ET — Market closed Brazil’s Ibovespa (.BVSP) ended Friday down 0.36% at 160,538.69, starting 2026 in the red on São Paulo’s B3 exchange, according to Yahoo Finance data. The benchmark eased after a holiday-thinned session. Yahoo Finance The first full week of the year is when many global investors reset risk and rebalance portfolios. For Brazil, that often means a tug-of-war between commodity-linked heavyweights and shifting bets on interest rates. The move matters now because the Ibovespa remains unusually sensitive to external pricing signals. U.S. yields and the dollar can change the appetite for

Tasnee stock in focus as 66-day SEPC shutdown begins ahead of Sunday’s Tadawul reopen

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 09:46 ET — Market closed. National Industrialization Co (Tasnee) is likely to be in focus when trading resumes on the Saudi Stock Exchange on Sunday after the petrochemicals group said a key joint venture began a planned shutdown on Jan. 2 that is expected to run for about 66 days. The outage spans much of the first quarter, when investors track volumes and pricing spreads — the gap between product prices and raw-material costs — to gauge petrochemical profitability.

Palantir stock tumbles 5.6% to start 2026 as pricey AI names face a reality check

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:33 ET — Market closed Palantir Technologies Inc. shares fell 5.6% on Friday to close at $167.86, ending the first U.S. trading session of 2026 with a sharp pullback in one of the market’s most closely watched AI-linked software names. The slide mattered because it landed as investors rotated toward AI “infrastructure” winners such as chipmakers, while trimming exposure to some high-valuation growth stocks that drove much of last year’s gains.

Tesla stock slides after Q4 deliveries report as BYD overtakes — what’s next for TSLA

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:40 ET — Market closed Tesla shares ended Friday, Jan. 2, down 2.6% at $438.07, after trading between $435.33 and $462.42 on heavy volume. The move matters because Tesla’s delivery tally is a fast, high-frequency read on demand and pricing power in the electric-vehicle market. Deliveries are the number of vehicles handed over to customers, often used as a proxy for sales. The backdrop is getting tougher as incentives roll off and rivals push more models into key markets.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:34 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares ended Friday down 0.3% at $271.01, starting 2026 on a softer note after a broker reset expectations on valuation even as broader U.S. stocks eked out gains.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:35 ET — Market closed Amazon.com, Inc. shares fell 1.9% on Friday to close at $226.50, slipping as investors opened 2026 with a mixed appetite for mega-cap tech.
