SELLAS (SLS) stock jumps about 10% in premarket as REGAL AML trial milestone stays in focus

SELLAS (SLS) stock jumps about 10% in premarket as REGAL AML trial milestone stays in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:03 ET — Premarket SELLAS Life Sciences Group (SLS) shares rose about 10% in U.S. premarket trading on Friday to $4.14, after gaining 13.9% in the prior regular session. Early trading ranged between $4.13 and $4.32. Public+1 The move matters because SELLAS’ valuation hinges on a single late-stage cancer study, and timing signals can drive sharp swings in small-cap biotech stocks. Investors have been trading around when the company will reach its next, predefined trial milestone — a threshold that determines when researchers can run the final analysis. On Dec. 29, SELLAS said its contract

Cipher Mining (CIFR) stock edges up in premarket as bitcoin climbs near $89,000

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 04:45 ET — Premarket Cipher Mining Inc shares were up 1.1% at $14.76 in pre-market trading on Friday, tracking a firmer bitcoin price heading into the first U.S. session of 2026. Bitcoin was up about 1.5% at $89,038. The early move comes after a volatile finish to 2025 for crypto, when bitcoin was on track for its first annual loss since 2022, weighed by shifting risk sentiment and macro cross-currents, a Reuters report late Wednesday said. “bitcoin increasingly exhibits the characteristics of a risk asset,” said Linh Tran, a senior market analyst at XS.com.

Alibaba stock today: BABA in focus as Baidu AI-chip IPO filing lifts China tech mood

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 02:49 ET — Market closed Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s Hong Kong-listed shares were firmer on Friday after Baidu said its AI chip unit Kunlunxin confidentially filed a listing application with the Hong Kong stock exchange. The filing paves the way for a spin-off and IPO — a company’s first sale of shares to the public — in a sector China is trying to build up as Washington tightens export restrictions on advanced chips. The move matters for Alibaba because its U.S.-listed shares are one of Wall Street’s most liquid ways to take a view on

Cytokinetics (CYTK) stock closes up 3.5% into year-end as Myqorzo launch nears, insider sale disclosed

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 21:17 ET — Market closed Cytokinetics, Incorporated shares ended Wednesday up 3.5% at $63.54, the final U.S. trading session of 2025, after markets closed Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. The stock has traded between $29.31 and $70.98 over the past 52 weeks, according to market data. New York Stock Exchange The year-end move matters because Cytokinetics is weeks away from its first full-scale commercial test. Investors have been valuing the biotech on clinical data and regulatory milestones; the next swing factor is execution in the field. In mid-December, the company said the U.S.

Denison Mines stock today: DNN ends 2025 higher ahead of Friday reopen

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 21:05 ET — Market closed Denison Mines Corp’s U.S.-listed shares last ended up about 1% at $2.66 on Wednesday, the final U.S. trading session of 2025. The NYSE American-listed stock traded between $2.61 and $2.68, with about 22 million shares changing hands, LSEG data showed. U.S. stock and bond markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving uranium-linked names without fresh price discovery until Friday’s open. That pause matters because uranium developers and explorers can swing on small shifts in the commodity and broader risk appetite, even when there is little company-specific news.

MARA stock slides into 2026 after share-plan filing as bitcoin steadies near $88,000

MARA stock slides into 2026 after share-plan filing as bitcoin steadies near $88,000

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 20:10 ET — Market closed MARA Holdings, Inc (MARA) shares fell 3.6% in the last U.S. session of 2025, closing at $8.98 after trading between $8.96 and $9.40. U.S. markets were shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Traders often treat MARA as a leveraged proxy for bitcoin because miners earn bitcoin by running specialized computers that help secure the network. That linkage matters at the start of 2026 as investors reassess crypto exposure against broader risk sentiment. Bitcoin was last up about 1% at around $88,666, but was on track to end 2025 down

Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:11 ET — Market closed Wheaton Precious Metals Corp shares (WPM) last closed down 1.2% at $117.52 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Yahoo Finance The late-year dip followed profit-taking across precious metals after a standout 2025, when gold climbed 66% and silver gained 161%, Reuters reported. Reuters That matters for Wheaton because it is a precious-metals streamer: it finances mines in exchange for the right to buy a portion of production at preset prices, tying results closely to swings in gold and silver. Gold prices softened into the

Synopsys stock (SNPS) heads into 2026 down 1% — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:06 ET — Market closed. Synopsys shares last closed down about 1% at $469.72 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Reuters The move matters because the chip-design software group is being pulled between two forces: continued spending tied to artificial intelligence hardware and a late-year wobble in big tech that has investors reassessing positioning into 2026. Reuters+1 Synopsys is a key supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) software — tools engineers use to design and verify chips before they are manufactured — and it competes closely with

Western Digital stock slips into 2026 after year-end profit-taking in AI storage winners

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:20 ET — Market closed Western Digital Corp shares fell 2.2% to $172.27 in the final trading session of 2025, and were not trading on Thursday with U.S. markets closed for New Year’s Day. Reuters The late slide came after the data-storage maker’s stock more than tripled in 2025, a year in which investors piled into hardware tied to the artificial intelligence buildout, Reuters reported. Reuters That matters now because Western Digital has become a proxy for how long big data-center customers keep expanding capacity — and how quickly investors take profits after a breakout

Energy stocks today: Oil’s steep 2025 slide weighs on XLE as OPEC+ meeting nears

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 1:54 PM ET — Market closed Energy stocks ended 2025 weaker, tracking a late-year slide in crude that left oil prices with their steepest annual drop since 2020. U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to recalibrate positions ahead of Friday’s reopening. Reuters+1 The timing matters because many energy shares still trade as a proxy for oil. Lower crude prices can compress cash flow for producers and slow spending on drilling and well services, while also shaping inflation expectations through gasoline and diesel costs. Reuters+1 In the final session of

Healthcare stocks today: FDA decisions jolt biotechs as Wall Street shuts for New Year

Healthcare stocks today: FDA decisions jolt biotechs as Wall Street shuts for New Year

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:41 ET — Market closed Vanda Pharmaceuticals’ FDA win in motion sickness set the tone for outsized, stock-specific swings in healthcare shares as Wall Street paused for the New Year’s Day holiday. U.S. stock markets were closed Thursday. Nasdaq The moves matter because regulatory calls can dominate small-cap biotech even when the broader healthcare sector trades like a defensive corner of the market. Investors also head into January watching how rates and earnings guidance reshape valuations after thin year-end trading. In Wednesday’s final session of 2025, the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) fell

Financial services stocks: Citigroup flags $1.2B Russia-exit loss ahead of Jan. 14 earnings

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 13:33 ET — Market closed Citigroup said it expects to record a pre-tax loss of about $1.2 billion as it moves to sell AO Citibank — its remaining operations in Russia — to Renaissance Capital. SEC+1 The loss matters now because it is set to land in Citi’s fourth-quarter 2025 financials, just ahead of the bank’s scheduled earnings release in mid-January, when investors typically reset expectations for capital returns and costs. SEC+1 Citi said the hit is largely tied to “currency translation adjustment” (CTA) — an accounting adjustment from converting a foreign unit’s financials into

Investors await next week’s U.S. jobs and inflation data for rate signals.
