Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. First Published: 1/24/2026. Stocks moved sharply lower at the start of the week on tariff fears, but then rallied as most economic indicators pointed to an economy growing strongly. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, better-than-expected jobs numbers, and a final third-quarter GDP reading of 4.4% all point to robust growth. Precious metals, however, may be telling a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, with some projections suggesting gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks climb. As a result, upcoming corporate earnings reports will be key to separating winners from losers. Expectations are for strong results, but recent reports have shown why forward guidance can be more important than headline numbers. Jerome Powell says gold is not money. The Fed says inflation is under control and the dollar is strong. But look at what they do. Central banks bought more gold last year than any time since 1967. China dumped $100 billion in U.S. debt, then bought gold. Poland, Hungary, Singapore, and Turkey are all loading up. In 2022, the U.S. froze Russia's money and showed the world that assets can be seized. Now major nations want out. There's only one asset no one can freeze: gold. Get the name and ticker of one stock positioned for this shift. Key Points - Stocks rallied after a sharp early-week sell-off; most economic indicators show a growing economy.
- Gold and silver hit new highs, signaling that some investors are seeking safe havens.
- Next week, investors will get the next decision on interest rates as well as some of the Magnificent Seven earnings.
The Federal Reserve meets next week and is expected to hold interest rates steady; analysts will be listening closely for guidance on the direction of future moves. Many of the largest technology stocks will also report earnings. MarketBeat analysts have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Articles by Thomas Hughes Chip stocks have been recovering from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamental and technical indicators, plus bullish analyst sentiment, suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to get in: read more. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) often acts as a bellwether for the economy. After selling off in the back half of 2025, Hughes noted that FAST stock found support near its 52-week low, and institutions appear to be buying on optimism that catalysts will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest results came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes suggested the company's strong quarter could set the stage for double-digit upside in 2026, driven largely by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a solid 2025, but the stock has not yet reclaimed its all-time high from late last year. This week, Sam Quirke outlined two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail investor favorite. Quirke noted the earnings debate will center on the balance between the stock's future growth and its current valuation: read more. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard in early 2026, leaving the stock arguably oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explained why that may present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report earnings until early February, but investors are already speculating on the stock's path post-earnings. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric suggesting smart money is more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the thesis, and why the stock may offer better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that demonstrate ways to manage biotech risk while highlighting catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks look poised for a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be among the leaders. Ryan Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst recently raised their price target, suggesting more upside may be possible on a slight pullback. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well in 2026. Hasson highlighted how the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum for the coming year. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may require more certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. The debate over data center demand persists. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. 2021 feels distant for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), which was a major winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race but has seen shares fall in recent years. Miller outlined why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotechnology continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff highlighted three under-the-radar biotech names that have tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many investors still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff pointed out two "Buffett stocks" that look like good bets in 2026 and explained why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare name. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has an impressive growth story. This week, Reiff gave investors three reasons to believe the company may be able to press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt covered defense stocks as well, focusing on three blue-chip defense stocks and why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget. Software stocks are under pressure after Anthropic's update to its "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector entirely may not be wise, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until the market stabilizes. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To the relief of shareholders, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) got a lift this week from positive AI demand signals. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained that high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that pushes SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also wrote about the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance offering—an innovation that may be an early example of how AI can disrupt the auto insurance industry. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week, signing a long-term lease with Advanced Micro Devices that validated its Power First high-performance computing strategy. Articles by Jordan Chussler Fund investors should take note of Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss sector is likely to keep growing in 2026, but it's getting crowded. Chussler pointed investors to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to a sector that can both help portfolios and shrink waistlines. Cloud computing is another area where investors can suffer from analysis paralysis. As Chussler wrote, investors can instead buy a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are creating full-blown FOMO (fear of missing out) among some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
