Frankfurt Stock Exchange today: DAX ends higher on MTU, RWE rally — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 10:42 ET — Market closed Germany’s blue-chip DAX index — a basket of the country’s biggest listed firms — ended Friday up 0.2% at 24,539.34 in Frankfurt, before markets shut for the weekend. Reuters The first session of the new year left investors with an early test of whether Europe’s late-2025 rally can hold once holiday-thin trading gives way to fuller volumes and fresh economic data. Across Europe, the STOXX 600 hit a record close at 596.14, with technology and defence shares leading gains, while London’s FTSE 100 briefly topped the 10,000 mark, Reuters reported.

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

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:55 ET — Market closed Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, fell 1.22% on Friday to close at $159.99, extending a three-session skid and slipping just under the $160 mark.

Goldman Sachs stock rises more than 2% today as traders eye jobs data and bank earnings

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:38 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs (GS) shares rose 2.1% to $897.16 in late morning trading on Friday, after moving between $880.82 and $897.16. The gains came as Wall Street opened 2026 on firmer footing, with technology stocks rebounding after late-December losses and investors tracking fresh tariff headlines from President Donald Trump’s administration. Reuters The early move matters because a busy January calendar is about to test risk appetite and interest-rate expectations that have underpinned equities. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, in a note

Boeing (BA) stock jumps today as $2.7 billion Apache support deal kicks off 2026 trading

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:27 ET — Regular session Boeing shares climbed about 2.7% on Friday, buoyed by renewed risk appetite on Wall Street and attention on a fresh U.S. defense award. The stock was last up $5.79 at $222.91 in New York trading. Reuters The move matters because Boeing is entering 2026 still under investor pressure to prove it can translate a large backlog into steadier deliveries and cash. Defense and services contracts can offer longer-dated revenue visibility even when commercial aircraft output is constrained. Reuters Broader markets also helped. “The next Fed Chair is probably going to

Robinhood stock forecast 2026: Fresh December trading data puts HOOD in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:53 ET Robinhood Markets Inc said on Tuesday that customers traded about $170 billion of equities — measured by “notional” volume, the dollar value of trades — from Dec. 1 through Dec. 28, as investors looked for clues on where the retail broker’s stock could head in 2026. It also reported about 179 million options contracts (which generally represent 100 shares each), about $19 billion of crypto notional volume, and about 2.6 billion event contracts, contracts that trade between $0.01 and $1 and settle at $1; the company said the unaudited figures were preliminary and

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

Robinhood stock today: HOOD slides after December trading snapshot and Goldman target trim

Robinhood stock today: HOOD slides after December trading snapshot and Goldman target trim

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 10:16 ET — Market closed Robinhood Markets Inc shares fell about 2% in the final U.S. session of 2025, closing at $113.10 on Wednesday, as U.S. markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Nasdaq The drop put fresh attention on a late-December operating snapshot that offers investors an early read on customer trading activity ahead of the company’s quarterly results. That matters because Robinhood’s revenue is closely tied to how much its customers trade, especially in options and crypto, where the company has historically generated more transaction-based revenue than in stocks.

Sidus Space stock jumps 17% after $16.2 million share sale as market stays shut for New Year’s Day

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 04:20 ET — Market closed Shares of Sidus Space Inc (SIDU) rose about 17% to $3.14 in the most recent U.S. session after the company said it closed a $16.2 million public stock offering. The stock traded between $2.48 and $4.20, with volume of roughly 170 million shares. Sidus Space, Inc. The move matters now because fresh equity raises can quickly change the risk profile for micro-cap companies that rely on outside financing.

Western Digital (WDC) stock slides after-hours into year-end as traders trim storage winners

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 19:43 ET — After-hours Western Digital Corp shares fell about 2.2% to $172.27 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after swinging between $171.28 and $177.46 earlier in the day. The late-day dip matters because Western Digital has been a high-beta proxy for data-center spending, and year-end rebalancing can amplify moves when liquidity is thinner than usual. It also comes as investors try to separate short-term flow-driven trading from the bigger question for 2026: whether demand for high-capacity drives used in AI-heavy data centers stays strong enough to support pricing and margins. U.S. stocks ended the last

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:50 ET — After-hours Robinhood Markets, Inc.

The move keeps attention on late-quarter trading activity at the retail brokerage as investors look for clues on how the fourth quarter finished across crypto, options and equities. That matters now because Robinhood’s transaction revenue — the money it generates from customer trades — can swing sharply with changes in trading volumes, especially in crypto and options.

PayPal stock (PYPL) slips on last trading day of 2025 — what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:36 ET — Regular session PayPal Holdings (PYPL.O) shares were down 0.5% at $58.83 on Wednesday afternoon, tracking a modest dip in U.S. equities as investors positioned for year-end. The move matters because payments stocks tend to be sensitive to shifts in the economic outlook. Transaction volumes are closely tied to consumer spending, and valuations can swing with interest-rate expectations. Wednesday’s session also came with lighter liquidity ahead of the New Year’s Day holiday, making routine flows look bigger in price action.
