NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 20:10 ET — Market closed
- Citigroup shares ended Friday up 1.7% at $118.70.
- Treasury yields rose into the weekend as investors positioned for key U.S. data.
- Citi’s next major catalyst is its Jan. 14 earnings report and webcast.
Citigroup Inc (NYSE: C) shares ended Friday up 1.7% at $118.70, a firmer close heading into Monday’s reopen after U.S. markets were shut for the weekend. 1
The move matters now because large banks remain tightly tethered to interest-rate expectations. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.191% on Friday, up 3.8 basis points (one hundredth of a percentage point), underscoring how quickly rate-sensitive trades can swing. 2
Investors get the next directional test with the U.S. jobs report due Jan. 9 and the consumer price index on Jan. 13, both key inputs for the Federal Reserve’s next steps. “The market is looking for direction,” said Matthew Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, as traders recalibrate rate-cut expectations after the Fed lowered rates at each of its last three meetings of 2025. 3
For Citi specifically, the near-term focus is its fourth-quarter report on Jan. 14, when it plans to publish results around 8 a.m. ET and hold a webcast and conference call at about 11 a.m. ET, the bank said. 4
The print lands in the heart of big-bank reporting week. JPMorgan is expected to report on Jan. 13, while Wells Fargo and Bank of America have flagged Jan. 14 and Goldman Sachs has set Jan. 15, according to company announcements and Nasdaq calendars. 5
Investors will drill into Citi’s net interest income — what the bank earns on loans and securities minus what it pays on deposits — for signs the rate cycle is helping or hurting profitability. They will also weigh credit costs, expense discipline and capital plans alongside performance in markets and investment banking.
On Friday, Citi traded between $116.59 and $118.72 on about 9.25 million shares. Traders are watching resistance near $120 and whether support holds around $116.60, the low end of the latest session range. 6
Citi’s advance broadly matched other lenders on the day as the S&P 500 added 0.19% and the Dow gained 0.66%, while Bank of America rose 1.73% and Wells Fargo climbed 2.15%, MarketWatch data showed. 7
But the setup cuts both ways for banks. A hotter inflation print can push yields higher and pressure equities, while a weak jobs number can revive recession concerns and sharpen scrutiny on consumer and corporate credit.
Before Citi reports, investors will sift a dense U.S. data calendar that includes ISM manufacturing on Monday and labor-market updates through the week. The next firm date for Citi shareholders is Jan. 14, when CEO Jane Fraser and CFO Mark Mason are set to discuss fourth-quarter results and the 2026 outlook.
