BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock slips today as new proxy filing spotlights its giant Ethereum stash

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:57 ET — After-hours Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. fell about 2% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, tracking a volatile session as investors digested the company’s latest proxy-vote push ahead of a January shareholder meeting. The timing matters because BitMine has repositioned itself as a corporate holder of crypto — especially ether — and shareholder approval of its meeting items could affect how aggressively it can raise capital. SEC BMNR has also traded as a high-beta proxy for crypto prices into the final week of the year, when liquidity can thin and moves can

Natural gas price today: U.S. futures sink on light storage draw, dragging UNG and EQT after hours

Natural gas price today: U.S. futures sink on light storage draw, dragging UNG and EQT after hours

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:35 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas prices slid sharply on Wednesday after a smaller-than-expected storage withdrawal and warmer temperature forecasts pushed front-month futures to a two-month low. Natural gas-linked stocks were mixed in after-hours trading, led lower by the commodity-tracking United States Natural Gas Fund. Barchart.com The move matters because winter demand is typically the market’s stress test. A light pull from underground storage suggests supply remains comfortable, which can quickly pressure prices and the share prices of gas-focused producers.

AI stocks today: Nvidia, Meta dip after hours as China H200 chip rush and dealmaking hit the tape

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:33 ET — After-hours Nvidia has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co about ramping production of its H200 graphics processing units (GPUs) — chips used to train AI systems — after Chinese tech companies placed orders for more than 2 million units for 2026, far above the roughly 700,000 Nvidia has in stock, sources told Reuters.

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips below $1.85 as year-end risk-off grips crypto

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:32 ET — After-hours XRP fell about 1.6% to $1.84 on Wednesday, extending a late-year drift as traders closed out positions ahead of the New Year holiday. Investing.com data showed XRP last at $1.841, after a previous close of $1.871, with the token ranging between $1.8117 and $1.8830 on the day. Investing.com The move matters because crypto has traded like a macro-sensitive risk asset into year-end, with investors reacting to the same growth, rates and policy headlines that drive equities. That has left fewer token-specific catalysts able to overpower the broader tape. Bitcoin was down

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips toward $87,700 as year-end risk mood drags crypto stocks

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:34 ET — After-hours Bitcoin was down 0.7% at $87,696 on Wednesday, extending a late-year drift that has left the token on track for its first annual loss since 2022. Investing The year-end slide matters because the market has been treating bitcoin more like a “risk asset” — the kind that often falls when investors cut exposure to stocks and other higher-risk trades. Analysts say that link to equities could tighten further in 2026 as traders focus on interest-rate expectations and valuations in AI-related shares.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:33 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 303.77 points, or 0.63%, to 48,063.29 on Wednesday, extending Wall Street’s losing streak into the final trading day of 2025. The S&P 500 dropped 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.8%. AP News The pullback mattered because it came as investors closed the books on a year of strong gains and positioned for fresh economic data that could reset expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Silver price today: SLV tumbles as CME margin hike spurs year-end shakeout

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:30 PM ET — After-hours Spot silver fell sharply on Wednesday and the main silver-linked U.S. ETF slid, as traders booked profits into year-end and braced for higher collateral requirements in futures markets. Investing The timing matters. Silver has been one of 2025’s standout trades, and leverage has piled into the rally as liquidity thins around holidays and portfolio managers close their books. That can turn routine selling into outsized moves. Reuters The latest drop also tests how much of the year’s run-up was driven by fundamentals versus momentum.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:30 ET — After-hours Gold-linked exchange-traded funds eased in U.S. after-hours trading on Wednesday as bullion drifted lower into the final hours of the year. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) was down 0.6% at $396.31. The late dip matters because gold has become one of 2025’s defining trades, and the last week has seen unusually sharp swings.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:32 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s major indexes ended lower on Wednesday in thin New Year’s Eve trading, but still booked double-digit gains for 2025. The S&P 500 fell 0.74%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.76% and the Dow slipped 0.63%. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

JPMorgan stock slips on final trading day of 2025 as banks lag; what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) shares were down about 0.3% at $322.22 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a softer finish in the regular session. The stock traded between $322.13 and $324.82 on the day. The year-end dip mattered less for the biggest U.S. bank than what comes next: interest-rate expectations and the opening stretch of the 2026 economic calendar.
