The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to a record 6,978.60 on January 27, 2026, despite more declining stocks than gainers within the index, as strength in Apple, Microsoft, and General Motors offset sharp drops in UnitedHealth and other insurers. The Dow fell 0.8% while the Nasdaq climbed 0.9%.

Treasury yields held steady after a report showed sharply declining U.S. consumer confidence. For the week, the S&P 500 is up 0.9%, and year-to-date gains stand at 1.9% for the S&P, 2% for the Dow, 2.5% for the Nasdaq, and 7.4% for the Russell 2000.

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) eliminated its $250,000 annual reimbursement cap for CEO Brian Niccol's personal use of company aircraft, requiring him to use private jets for all travel following a security review. The change, disclosed in a January 26 filing, cites enhanced security needs due to "credible threat actors" and increased media attention.

Niccol incurred nearly $1 million in private jet costs and $1.1 million in total security expenses during fiscal 2025. The policy shift aligns with broader corporate security enhancements following the 2024 fatal shooting of a UnitedHealthcare executive. Starbucks directors will now review Niccol's travel quarterly instead of annually.

US homebuyers canceled purchase agreements at a record rate of 16.3% in December 2025, according to Redfin data released January 26, reflecting a standoff between sellers clinging to high prices and buyers facing elevated mortgage costs and increased inventory.

More than 40,000 contracts were canceled during the month, slightly exceeding the previous record set during March 2020 COVID lockdowns. Existing home sales in 2025 fell below 2024's already record-low levels dating to 1995. Redfin economists note buyers now have more options and are using inspection contingencies to exit deals primarily due to affordability concerns.

The cancellation surge parallels a 50% year-over-year increase in sellers withdrawing listings throughout 2025, creating what industry professionals describe as a "standoff market" where neither party holds decisive advantage amid economic uncertainty and pricing disparities.

General Motors (GM-US) plans to surpass Ford (F-US) as the largest US automaker by production volume by 2027, aiming to assemble approximately 2 million vehicles annually domestically. The move comes as GM faces an estimated $3-4 billion in annual tariff costs, primarily from imported vehicles.

CEO Mary Barra announced the production expansion strategy on January 27, 2026, noting GM absorbed $3.1 billion in tariffs in 2025. The company will shift production of fuel-powered crossovers from Mexico to Kansas and Tennessee plants starting 2027, while adding full-size SUVs and pickups at a currently idle Michigan facility. Ford currently assembles about 2.1 million vehicles in the US, with 80% of its sales domestically produced, while GM imported approximately 1.23 million vehicles in 2024.

Tariff exposure remains a key risk, particularly for GM's South Korean imports including Chevy Trax and Buick Envista models. The company's 2026 guidance assumes 15% tariffs on Korean vehicles, though rates could revert to 25% if US-South Korea trade negotiations fail.

The IRS began processing 2025 tax returns on January 27, 2026, with experts warning taxpayers to file early and accurately to avoid delays exacerbated by agency staff reductions and new tax code changes. Refunds for electronic filers typically take up to 21 days, but those claiming Earned Income or Child Tax Credits may not receive payments until mid-February to March 3 due to PATH Act fraud reviews.

New provisions under the "One Big Beautiful Bill" are expected to increase average refunds by 15-20%, according to Morgan Stanley analysis. However, IRS layoffs in 2025 and complex new deductions could cause significant processing delays. Taxpayers are advised to file electronically with direct deposit for fastest refund receipt, as paper filings can take up to six weeks.

The firm's largest purchase occurred on November 25, 2024, acquiring 55,500 BTC for $5.4 billion at an average price of $97,862.

Bitcoin price reactions varied post-announcement, with declines up to 8% following some purchases despite the company's continued accumulation strategy.

Corning supplies major tech firms including Nvidia (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL), and has consistently exceeded earnings expectations.

Latin American e-commerce sales are projected to reach $215.31 billion in 2026, growing 1.5 times faster than the global average, according to a joint report by Endeavor and MercadoLibre. Consumers are shifting priorities from platform loyalty and personalization to reliable delivery and transparent pricing.

Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico will account for nearly 85% of regional online sales. The report notes that 84% of purchases are made via smartphones, but nearly half of consumers would abandon a platform after a bad experience—primarily due to delivery delays and returns issues. Only one-third of shoppers consider personalization very important, suggesting e-commerce firms may be over-investing in algorithms while under-delivering on execution fundamentals.
