    Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500 waver as Wall Street eyes a new year comeback


    Stocks erased session gains on Thursday to kick off the first trading day of the new year as Wall Street returned from holiday.

    The S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 0.7% after opening in green territory, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) also dropped nearly 0.7%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell 0.9% after markets reopened from Wednesday’s closure.

    Markets were eyeing a comeback after a year-end slide to begin the week dented hopes for a “Santa Claus rally.” The decline capped a blowout 2024 for US stocks that saw the S&P 500 (^GSPC) post two years in a row of over-20% gains — something it hasn’t achieved in almost three decades.

    Bond yields and the US Dollar Index (DX-Y.NYB) continued to march higher on Thursday. The 10-year treasury yield was up about 2 basis points to hover just under 4.6%. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index rose above 109, hitting its highest level since November 2022.

    Tesla (TSLA) shares slid almost 6% after the electric vehicle maker posted its first decline in annual deliveries on Thursday morning. Also in focus was news that a Cybertruck loaded with firework mortars and fuel canisters exploded in Las Vegas on Wednesday, killing one person. The FBI is investigating whether the blast outside the Trump International Hotel was an act of terrorism.

    Over the holiday week, US mortgage rates rose to 6.97% to reach the highest level since early July, data showed. The gain weighed on applications for home purchases and dented refinancing, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

    Weekly jobless claims fell to their lowest level since April. Data released by the Department of Labor on Thursday morning showed claims of 211,000, a decrease from the previous week’s upwardly revised level of 220,000.

    On the corporate front, Apple (AAPL) shares fell around 3% after the iPhone maker offered rare price discounts on its latest models in China, reflecting rising competition from local handset makers.

      Dollar Index hits highest level since November 2022

      A potential headwind for US stocks is on the rise.

      The US dollar index rose above 109 on Thursday, hitting its highest level since November 2022. Eventually, an increasingly strong US dollar could serve as a headwind for stocks.

      One reason is how a stronger US currency impacts companies that do business internationally. If the dollar is stronger, than foreign sales could covert into fewer US dollars, potentially weighing on earnings.

      And when taking a look at the companies driving S&P 500 (^GSPC) earnings growth in the third quarter, many have large international exposure. Data from FactSet shows S&P 500 companies with less than half of their revenue in the US grew earnings by nearly 14% over the year prior during the third quarter. That far outpaced the 1.8% earnings growth seen by companies with more than half of their revenue coming in the US.

      Why Trump is antsy about the coming debt ceiling fight

      Yahoo Finance’s Ben Werschkul reports:

      A new debt ceiling was established this week, setting up a debate for the months ahead about averting a government default.

      The parameters of that coming standoff are already making Donald Trump unhappy.

      The issue for the President-elect is how events are conspiring — thanks to the nudging of both Democrats and far-right Republicans — to make the inevitable move by Trump and his allies to allow new governmental borrowing a messy one.

      Mortgage rates start 2025 near 7%, hitting highest level since July

      Mortgage rates continued their trek higher last week, nearly hitting 7%.

      Yahoo Finance’s Claire Boston reports:

      The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.91% in the week through Wednesday, from 6.85% as of Dec. 26, according to Freddie Mac data. 15-year mortgage rates jumped to 6.13% from 6% a week earlier.

      “Inching up to just shy of 7%, mortgage rates reached their highest point in nearly six months,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement. “Compared to this time last year, rates are elevated and the market’s affordability headwinds persist.”

      It’s the third straight week of rate gains, and the highest level since July.

      FBI says ‘no definitive link’ between attack in New Orleans and Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas

      On Thursday, FBI deputy assistant director Christopher Raia said authorities have found no “definitive link” between the Bourbon Street attack in New Orleans on Wednesday, and the explosion of a Tesla (TSLA) Cybertruck filled with fireworks and fuel tanks outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.

      “At this point, there is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas,” Raia said at a press conference on Thursday morning, adding that the investigations are still in a very early stage.

      Earlier on Thursday, CNN reported the suspect believed to be linked to the explosion of a Cybertruck in Las Vegas on Wednesday was a US special forces soldier.

      The Cybertruck had been rented on an app called Turo, the same service used to rent the vehicle involved in running over a crowd of people in New Orleans early Wednesday morning.

      Dow hovers near flat line as Boeing, Apple shares drag on the blue-chip index

      The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) erased early morning gains to hover near the flat line by 11:30 a.m. ET on Thursday.

      A fall in shares of Boeing (BA) weighed on the blue-chip index. The industrial giant’s stock dropped as much as 3.5% following Sunday’s deadly crash of a 737-800 aircraft operated by Jeju Air in South Korea. Analysts were however quick to point out it’s unlikely that the incident was related to Boeing’s production challenges last year.

      Apple (AAPL) shares fell to session lows after the iPhone maker offered rare discounts on its latest devices in China.

      Man connected to rental of Cybertruck in Vegas was reportedly US soldier

      A man alleged to be linked to the explosion of a Tesla (TSLA) Cybertruck filled with fireworks and gasoline in Las Vegas was a US soldier, according to a report from CNN.

      “The man connected to the rental of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday is a US Special Forces soldier assigned to 10th Special Forces Group, per 4 US officials,” CNN correspondent Natasha Bertrand wrote on X.

      “The man is a US Army special forces operations sergeant, holding the rank of master sergeant, a senior enlisted rank, the officials said. Three officials said he was on active duty and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with 10th Group, at the time of the incident,” said the posting.

      The Cybertruck had been rented on an app called Turo, the same service used to rent the vehicle involved in running over a crowd of people in New Orleans early Wednesday morning. Authorities are investigating whether there is any link between the two incidents.

      Tesla shares slid almost 6% on Thursday morning after the EV giant posted its first annual delivery decline. The stock is down roughly 18% over the past five trading sessions.

      Shares of Tesla hit all-time highs in mid-December on the heels of a massive rally following Donald Trump’s White House victory in early November.

      Cloudflare stock jumps 5% after double upgrade from Goldman Sachs

      Shares of Cloudflare (NET) jumped more than 5% on Thursday after the cloud platform company received a double upgrade from Goldman Sachs.

      The analysts said they see a 28% upside for the stock and raised their price target to $140. They upgraded the stock to a Buy from a Sell recommendation.

      Goldman analysts cited “improving sales and marketing productivity cycle” and “new AI inferencing use cases”

      Nvidia, Amazon, Meta lead Nasdaq higher

      AI chip heavyweight Nvidia (NVDA) rose more than 2% to lead the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) higher on Thursday morning.

      Other “Magnificent Seven” stocks also helped lift the tech-heavy index, with Meta (META) and Amazon (AMZN) rising almost 2%.

      Meanwhile, shares of Tesla (TSLA) pared some of the losses that came after the EV giant posted its first annual decline in deliveries. The stock fell by as much as 6% in early trading.

      Apple’s (AAPL) stock also came off session lows. The iPhone maker has offered rare price discounts on its latest models in China, highlighting rising competition from local device makers.

      Dow, S&P 500 rise to kick off 2025

      Stocks rose on the first trading day of the new year following a holiday break and a roaring 2024 for the markets.

      The S&P 500 (^GSPC) jumped 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) jumped but quickly erased early session gains.

      Tesla (TSLA) stock dropped after the electric vehicle giant said it delivered 495,570 vehicles in the fourth quarter of last year, making 2024 the first year of a decline in annual deliveries since 2011, according to Bloomberg data.

      Tesla delivers over 495,000 vehicles in fourth quarter, stock drops

      Tesla (TSLA) stock dropped 3% in premarket trading after the electric vehicle giant said it delivered 495,570 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2024, bringing total deliveries to roughly 1.79 million for the whole year.

      Wall Street analysts expected the automaker to deliver roughly 512,300 EVs for the last three months of the year, or about 1.8 million vehicles,

      In the fourth quarter, Tesla said it produced approximately 459,000 vehicles.

      Tesla stock rises premarket ahead of deliveries release

      Tesla (TSLA) stock rose more than 1% premarket as investors prepared for the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker to release its fourth quarter deliveries Thursday.

      Wall Street analysts expect the company to report deliveries of roughly 512,300 EVs for the period, bringing its annual deliveries for the 2024 fiscal year to 1.8 million EVs, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.

      If the average analyst forecast holds true, that would mean Tesla’s annual EV deliveries fell 0.3% from the prior year — making 2024 the first year since 2011 that Tesla EV sales failed to grow, according to Bloomberg data.

      Tesla shares fell more than 3% on the last day of 2024 as megacap tech stocks lagged, but the EV company’s stock was still up more than 60% for the year.

      Tesla had warned in 2023 that production growth would be “notably lower” in the year ahead, as Pras Subramanian noted in his roundup of Tesla’s biggest news in 2024 (you can read that story here).

      Separately, Tesla made headlines after a Cybertruck exploded outside of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, prompting an investigation of a potential terrorist attack.

      Good morning. Here’s what’s happening today.



    The Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 are all experiencing fluctuations as Wall Street eagerly anticipates a potential new year comeback. After a tumultuous year filled with economic uncertainty and market volatility, investors are hoping for a fresh start in 2022.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which tracks the performance of 30 large-cap companies, has been bouncing between gains and losses as investors weigh the impact of rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions. Similarly, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and the broad-based S&P 500 have also been struggling to find direction amidst a rapidly changing economic landscape.

    Despite the challenges facing the markets, some analysts remain optimistic about the potential for a year-end rally. With the Federal Reserve signaling its commitment to supporting the economy and corporate earnings expected to remain strong, there is hope that the markets will be able to bounce back in the new year.

    However, uncertainties remain, and investors are advised to proceed with caution as they navigate the ever-changing market conditions. As we approach the end of the year, all eyes will be on Wall Street as investors eagerly await signs of a potential comeback in the new year.

    Overall, Pfizer stock’s 2025 comeback is being driven by a combination of factors, including its focus on innovation, strategic acquisitions, and financial strength.

    S&P 500, Dow rise as Wall Street eyes a new year comeback


    Stocks edged higher on Thursday to kick off the first trading day of the new year as Wall Street returned from holiday.

    The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) put on 0.5%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) moved up roughly 0.5% after markets reopened from Wednesday’s closure.

    Several Big Tech stocks rose modestly, with shares of Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta (META) all stepping higher as optimism around artificial intelligence crept back in. Investors have been debating what role the “Magnificent Seven” stocks will play in powering markets in 2025 after their massive outperformance last year.

    But Tesla (TSLA) shares slid over 4%, pulling back from premarket gains after the EV maker posted its first decline in annual deliveries on Thursday morning.

The FBI is investigating whether the blast outside the Trump International Hotel was an act of terrorism.

    Over the holiday week, US mortgage rates rose to 6.97% to reach the highest level since early July, data showed. The gain weighed on applications for home purchases and dented refinancing, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

      Good morning. Here’s what’s happening today.



    The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are on the rise as Wall Street looks to make a comeback in the new year. After a tumultuous end to 2020, investors are optimistic about the prospects for 2021.

    Both indexes have seen gains in recent days, with the S&P 500 hitting record highs and the Dow Jones inching closer to its own all-time high. The positive momentum has been driven by hopes for a strong economic recovery, as well as expectations for further stimulus measures from the government.

    Investors are also keeping a close eye on corporate earnings reports, which are expected to show signs of improvement as businesses adapt to the challenges posed by the pandemic. Tech stocks, in particular, have been a bright spot, with companies like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft leading the charge.

    As we head into the new year, Wall Street is cautiously optimistic about the road ahead. While there are still uncertainties and challenges to navigate, the overall sentiment is one of hope and resilience. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones are both showing signs of strength, and investors are hopeful that this upward trend will continue in the coming months.

    BTS raises excitement for The Most Beautiful Moment in Life based comeback in 2025 and possible world tour; Report


    Will BTS return with a new album this year? Previously, industry researchers stated that the group would make a comeback in 2025 following the military discharge of the members. They are also rumored to embark on a world tour in 2026. A new update has claimed that the world tour will be the celebration of the 10th anniversary of their most popular album series. 

    On January 2, a Korean media outlet reported that BTS is currently preparing for a new album which will be released this year. Following that, the boy band will possibly go on a world tour to celebrate 10 years of their The Most Beautiful Moment of Life album series. 

    Although Jin and J-Hope have already completed their mandatory military service in 2024, SUGA, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are still under enlistment. They are set to return home in June. Fans can look forward to new group releases after their discharge. 

    BTS’ last album Proof was released back in 2022, so their return after 2 long years is expected to solidify the global K-pop craze, while also boosting HYBE’s sales for 2025.

    Although BIGHIT MUSIC hasn’t announced anything officially yet, ARMYs are hopeful about a new album and world tour. In particular, previously an industry researcher also revealed that the septet will make a comeback this year and then embark on a world tour in 2026.

  • Brisbane International: Nick Kyrgios loses on singles comeback before Novak Djokovic earns win

    Brisbane International: Nick Kyrgios loses on singles comeback before Novak Djokovic earns win


    Backed again by an exuberant and partisan home crowd, Kyrgios showed plenty of the talent which enabled him to reach the Wimbledon final in 2022.

    The former world number 13, who won in the doubles alongside one-time nemesis Djokovic on Monday, showed the injury problems have not weakened his serve – which has always been one of his biggest assets.

    Kyrgios did not drop a service game against the 31st-ranked Mpetshi Perricard, saving the two break points which he faced.

    But his problem was Mpetshi Perricard – a 6ft 8in serving machine who had a startling climb from outside the top 200 in the ATP rankings last season – served even bigger.

    Mpetshi Perricard hit 36 aces and won 89% of his first-serve points as he also saved two break points.

    “For me, honestly, it was a great match, considering I hadn’t played in 18 months. And to put myself in a winning position was exciting,” said Kyrgios.

    “It was just good to be back out there and to say that I can still play a level against someone like that who is coming off the best year of their career and only getting better.”

    Later on Tuesday, 24-time major champion Djokovic moved into the second round with an assured performance in his first singles match since October.

    The 37-year-old Serb, who will be coached by the recently retired Andy Murray at the Australian Open, looked sharp in a 6-3 6-3 win over Australian wildcard Rinky Hijikata.

    “To start off the new season with a win is very important,” said Djokovic, who is bidding for the 100th singles title of his career.

    “Rinky made me work hard for the win.”



    Nick Kyrgios’ highly anticipated singles comeback at the Brisbane International ended in disappointment as he was defeated by Alexander Bublik in the first round. Despite showing flashes of his trademark flair and power, Kyrgios was unable to overcome his opponent’s consistent play.

    However, the Australian tennis star didn’t stay down for long as he quickly rebounded in the doubles competition, teaming up with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis to secure a victory.

    Meanwhile, world number one Novak Djokovic continued his dominant form at the tournament, defeating his opponent in straight sets to advance to the next round. With his eye on the prize, Djokovic looks poised to make a deep run in the tournament and solidify his status as one of the top players in the world.

    Stay tuned for more exciting updates from the Brisbane International as the action continues to unfold on the court.

    French powerhouse Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard snuffed out Nick Kyrgios‘ hopes of a winning return to the ATP Tour Tuesday as he defeated the Australian 7-6(2), 6-7(4), 7-6(3) at the Brisbane International presented by Evie.

    Going big on both first and second serves, the 21-year-old Frenchman fired 36 aces and put Kyrgios’ wrist through a stern test in the Australian’s first tour-level match since September 2023 wrist surgery. Gio served a game of aces to go ahead 5-4 in the third set and claimed two mini-breaks in the decisive tie-break to claim victory.

    Mpetshi Perricard was also lethal from the baseline, crushing eight forehand winners in the first set alone. He also unveiled an upgraded backhand that proved resilient under pressure and produced a spectacular down-the-line winner in the fifth game of the opening set that left Kyrgios floundering.

     

    “Playing against Nick was a good match for me, he did some good things during the match,” said Mpetshi Perricard. “He was very confident, a good serve. I tried my best and it worked.

    “It was very exciting to play this one, and I’m very happy to get the win. I knew it was going to be a serve match. I hope I will have a nice recovery and be back in two days.”

    Mpetshi Perricard, who last year climbed from No. 205 to No. 31 in the PIF ATP Rankings, next faces American fourth seed Frances Tiafoe.

     

    Playing his first match since September 2023 wrist surgery, 29-year-old Kyrgios moved freely and showed few signs of rust. But he did play with heavy taping on his wrist and called the physio to court after dropping the first set.

    He also played a composed match, exchanging little banter with the chair umpire and showing few signs of frustration.

He also won 69 per cent of second serves and saved both break points he faced. Mpetshi Perricard also saved both break points faced.

    Perricard finished with 59 winners, including 15 off his forehand wing, and 34 unforced errors, including seven double faults.

     

     



    In a thrilling match at the Brisbane International, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard delivered a stunning performance to defeat Nick Kyrgios and put a dent in the Australian’s comeback hopes.

    Perricard, a rising star on the ATP Tour, showcased his powerful serve and aggressive baseline game to secure a hard-fought victory over Kyrgios, who was making his return to competitive tennis after a lengthy absence.

    Despite facing a hostile crowd cheering for the local favorite, Perricard remained composed and focused throughout the match, showcasing his mental toughness and determination to come out on top.

    The victory marks a significant milestone for Perricard, who is looking to make a name for himself on the ATP Tour and establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in men’s tennis.

  • Nick Kyrgios slams Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek for doping-related issues ahead of Brisbane comeback


    “I (pay) my team hundreds and thousands of dollars to be the professionals they are, to make sure that doesn’t happen,” Kyrgios said. “So they knew it happened. Why did they wait five to six months to do anything about it? He kept his team for five months … that doesn’t make sense.”

    Kyrgios will take on 21-year-old Giovanni Perricard of France in the first round in Brisbane.

    It will be the first tour-level appearance by Kyrgios since the Stuttgart Open in June 2023. Kyrgios has been mostly sidelined with career-threatening wrist and knee injuries since the 2022 U.S. Open quarterfinals.

    Kyrgios is also entered in the Australian Open beginning Jan. 12. It would be his first Grand Slam singles tournament in more than two years.

    Kyrgios, who won the Brisbane International in 2018, will partner Novak Djokovic in doubles in Brisbane. Djokovic beat Kyrgios in the 2022 Wimbledon singles final.

    Djokovic is the No. 1-seeded player at the Brisbane International and will play Australia’s Rinky Hijikata in the opening round following the singles draw held Saturday.

    Kyrgios and Djokovic are in the top half of the singles draw and are not slated to play each other until the semifinals should they both win through.



    Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has taken aim at rising stars Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, accusing them of doping-related issues ahead of his comeback at the Brisbane International.

    In a scathing post on social media, Kyrgios slammed the young players for their alleged involvement in doping, calling them out for tarnishing the sport of tennis. Kyrgios, known for his outspoken nature, did not hold back in his criticism of Sinner and Swiatek, labeling them as “cheats” and questioning their integrity.

    The accusations come as Kyrgios prepares to make his return to competitive tennis after a lengthy absence. The Australian has been sidelined with injury and personal issues, but is set to make his comeback at the Brisbane International.

    Kyrgios has always been a controversial figure in the world of tennis, but his latest comments have sparked a heated debate among fans and players alike. While some have supported his outspoken stance against doping in the sport, others have criticized him for making unsubstantiated claims without evidence.

    As Kyrgios gears up for his return to the court, it remains to be seen how his comments will impact his relationships with fellow players and the tennis community as a whole. One thing is for certain – the Australian is not afraid to speak his mind, no matter the consequences.
