Special Report MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23By MarketBeat Staff. Article Posted: 1/24/2026. After falling sharply on tariff fears early in the week, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to an economy growing strongly. An in-line reading on the November PCE inflation index, better-than-expected jobs data and a final read on third-quarter GDP of 4.4% are all indicators of an expanding economy. Precious metals, however, tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs, with speculation that gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. That suggests some investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks move higher. As a result, upcoming corporate earnings will help distinguish winners from losers. The expectation is for strong earnings, but recent reports have shown that forward guidance may matter more than headline numbers. On September 14th, 2023, something big happened that didn't make the news. The price gap between London gold and Shanghai gold blew out to $120 an ounce. For years, that gap was a few dollars, maybe $5 or $10. A 20x jump in seconds isn't a glitch, it's the system breaking. Traders tried to buy gold in London to sell in Shanghai, but hit a wall. The London vaults were empty. Since that day, gold has hit 53 all-time highs. One stock is positioned to capture the bulk of this wealth transfer. See the full story on this opportunity now. In Brief - 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 path of future moves. Also, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings next week. MarketBeat analysts will have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Articles by Thomas Hughes Chip stocks have been recovering from a year-end sell-off. Thomas Hughes explains why fundamental and technical indicators, along with bullish analyst sentiment, mean the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still offers room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) is a bellwether for the economy. After selling off in the back half of 2025, Hughes notes that FAST stock found support near its 52-week low and institutions are buying on optimism that catalysts for FAST will materialize in 2026. Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest quarters came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes suggests the company's strong quarter could be a springboard to double-digit upside in 2026, largely driven by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a solid 2025, but the stock has not reclaimed its all-time high. Sam Quirke outlines two ways to trade AMZN stock around the company's upcoming earnings. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains popular with retail investors. Quirke says the real battle around earnings will be between expectations for future growth and the stock's current valuation; that tension will shape TSLA's direction after next week's report (read more). Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged to start 2026 and may be oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that could present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating. Markoch highlights one metric that suggests smart money may be more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch outlines what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the investment thesis, and why the stock could represent better value. He also profiles three large-cap biotechnology stocks that demonstrate ways to manage biotech risk while offering catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks look poised for a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Hasson notes that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, one analyst has raised their price target, suggesting more upside if investors get a modest pullback. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well. Hasson examines the expanding role of drones in the modern defense industry and recommends five defense and drone stocks with momentum heading into 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite a solid earnings report. Miller explains why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may await more clarity on the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data-center demand persist. Miller highlights three companies that have used the increased need for data-center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. For Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), 2021 feels like a different era. Once a big winner in the COVID-19 vaccine race, Moderna has struggled since. Miller identifies potential signs of recovery after its best quarter in three years: read more. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech continues to attract speculative investors. Nathan Reiff points to three under-the-radar biotech names with tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many still watch Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B). Reiff highlights two "Buffett stocks" that could be good bets in 2026 and explores why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare name. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has an impressive growth story. Reiff gives three reasons to believe the company can press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt writes that rising defense spending supports a group of blue-chip names. He profiles three defense stocks built for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a larger Pentagon budget. Software stocks came under pressure after Anthropic's update to "Claude Code" unsettled investors. Schmidt advises caution and lists three software stocks to avoid until the sector stabilizes. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson Shareholders of Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) got some relief this week from positive AI demand signals. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explains how high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that pushes SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also covers the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance offering, and how AI could disrupt auto insurance. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week. The company signed a long-term lease with Advanced Micro Devices that validated its Power First high-performance computing strategy. Articles by Jordan Chussler Fund investors should note Jordan Chussler's coverage this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space should keep growing in 2026, but it's getting crowded; Chussler points to an ETF that offers one-stop exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can create analysis paralysis. Chussler suggests investors consider a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are generating FOMO for some investors. Chussler recommends three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
