MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23
Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Date Posted: 1/24/2026.
After moving sharply lower early in the week on tariff fears, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to a strong economy. 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 signal expansion.
Precious metals, however, may tell a different story. Gold and silver both pushed to new record highs, with some forecasting gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100.
That suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as many stocks rally. As a result, corporate earnings will separate winners from losers. Expectations are for strong results, but recent reports have shown that forward guidance can matter more than headline numbers.
Central banks are lying to you about gold (Ad)
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.

- 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, but analysts will listen closely for guidance on the path of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings. MarketBeat analysts will have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week.
Articles by Thomas Hughes
Chip stocks are recovering from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamental and technical indicators — along with bullish analyst sentiment — suggest the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still leaves room for investors to join (link).
Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) is a bellwether for the economy. After selling off in the back half of 2025, Hughes noted FAST stock found support near its 52-week low, and institutions are buying on optimism that catalysts will materialize in 2026.
Many regional banks reported this week, and one of the strongest quarters came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes suggested the company's solid quarter could be a lead-in to double-digit upside in 2026, primarily fueled 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 the all-time high it set 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 favorite, and Quirke noted the upcoming earnings will amplify the debate over the stock's future growth versus its current valuation. That battle will be key to TSLA's direction after the report (link).
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lagged to start 2026 and appears oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that could present an opportunity investors may want to consider.
Articles by Chris Markoch
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating on its post-earnings direction. Markoch highlighted one metric that suggests the smart money may be more bullish than it seems.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when Microsoft reports, outlines challenges to the thesis, and argues why the stock appears to offer better value.
Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotechnology stocks that demonstrate ways to manage biotech risk while identifying catalysts for growth in 2026.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
Space stocks are expected to perform well in 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. Hasson noted that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst raised their price target, suggesting further upside, particularly if the stock pulls back slightly.
Defense names are also expected to do well in 2026. As Hasson wrote, the modern defense industry will expand drone use, and he highlighted five defense and drone stocks that have momentum heading into the year.
Articles by Leo Miller
Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite a solid earnings report. Miller explained why investors remain cautious and why a long-term bull case may hinge on more certainty around the Warner Bros. Studios deal.
Questions about data center demand persist. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60% (link).
2021 feels like a distant memory for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, the stock has been pummeled in recent years. Miller discussed why there may be signs of life after its best print in three years.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Biotech continues to attract speculative investors. This week Nathan Reiff pointed to three under-the-radar biotech names that have tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026.
Warren Buffett has retired, but many still watch Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B). Reiff highlighted two "'Buffett stocks'" that look attractive 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. 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 also covered defense this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense stocks that are positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and a rising Pentagon budget.
Software stocks came under pressure after Anthropic's update to its "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector entirely may not be prudent, Schmidt identified three software stocks to avoid until things settle.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
To shareholders' relief, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) received a lift this week from positive AI demand signals. Jeffrey Neal Johnson noted that high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that might push SMCI past a key resistance level.
Johnson also examined the partnership between Lemonade Inc. (NYSE: LMND) and Tesla to launch Lemonade's autonomous car insurance offering, and why it could be an early example of how AI might disrupt auto insurance pricing.
Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week. The company signed a long-term lease with AMD that validated its Power First high-performance computing strategy.
Articles by Jordan Chussler
Fund investors should note Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space is likely to keep growing in 2026 but is becoming crowded; Chussler highlighted an ETF that offers diversified exposure to the sector.
Cloud computing can induce analysis paralysis. As Chussler wrote, investors can instead 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 highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
