Happy Tuesday. This is TheStreet’s Stock Market Today for Jan. 6, 2026, the third trading day of the year. You can follow the latest updates on the market here in our daily live blog.

Update: 9:45 a.m. ET

Opening Bell

The U.S. markets have now been opened for a short bit, and like clockwork, today’s opening trade is shaping up differently than yesterday’s did.

The Russell 2000 (-0.12%) is reversing yesterday’s wins, while the Nasdaq (+0.49%), S&P 500(+0.39%), and Dow (+0.27%) are heading higher.

In total, 49.1% (2717) of U.S. issues are advancing this morning against 46.4% (2568) in decline.

For some color on the situation (green or red, anybody?), here is the S&P 500 at last glance (15 min delayed.)

You might notice that healthcare and tech names are now flashing bright green, along with utilities in darker shade of green. Many of yesterday’s winning sectors are mixed today by contrast, including energy, industrials, and financials.

Further, continuous futures in Brent Crude (+0.31% to $61.59) are higher after this weekend’s interventions in Venezuela. At the same time, Silver (+4.58% to $80.165) continues to advance back towards records and Gold (+1.07% to $4,499) sits on the verge of $4.5K. Natural Gas (-2.25% to $2.828) continued a row of recent declines.

Both S&P Composite and Services declined month-over-month in their December report, but remained above 50, a sign that these pockets of the economy continued to grow.

This section will be updated to reflect new developments as they come available.

A.M. Update

Good morning. We’ll be kicking off the third trading day of 2026 in short order. Stock futures are currently biased to the upside, continuing an upward trend post-New Year holiday. Here are the developments of note on the calendar:

Economic Data + Events

Virtually all of this morning’s economic data and events will be coming in the hour before and after the market opens. None of the reports are likely market-movers, but reports like the S&P Global Composite and Services PMI Final for December might offer some data points on the state of the economy. Here’s what is slated (updated after the results):

Earnings Today

Today, AAR Corp. is the only earnings report from a firm with at least a $2 billion market cap. Those results are expected after the bell. Still, earnings season is set to kick off later this week, so enjoy our brief reprieve from data contagion.
