Market Brief – 13 Jan 2026

In today’s Market Brief - After Hours, markets struggled for direction as softer US inflation data clashed with mounting political and regulatory pressure on the banking sector. We break down declines in the Dow and S&P 500 driven by financial stocks, a resilient Nasdaq, falling Treasury yields after a cooler CPI print, and sharp moves in global markets. The episode covers Asia’s strong rally led by Japan’s Nikkei, mixed European trading, a jump in oil prices on Iran-related tensions, continued strength in gold, a powerful surge in silver, key FX technical levels across EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and USD/CHF, and major stock movers including JPMorgan, Moderna, and biotech volatility as investors weigh fundamentals against policy risk.
