The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is bracing for slight losses in pre-market activities on January 21, 2026, as President Donald Trump prepares to address the World Economic Forum. This address comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Europe over Trump’s controversial comments regarding Greenland.

Additionally, Jon Herrick, NYSE’s Chief Product Officer, is set to appear on NYSE Live today, where he will elaborate on the exchange’s ongoing initiatives to enhance market infrastructure. Among these initiatives are a move toward 24/7 trading operations and the introduction of a tokenized-securities platform for stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These innovations aim to provide greater flexibility and efficiency in trading, reflecting the evolving landscape of financial markets.
On a parallel note, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) is commemorating its 75th anniversary season in 2026, with a documentary titled “Chasing Speed” premiering today on VICE.
