Bitcoin price stock today: BTC ticks up near $88,000 as Fed minutes and ETF flows set the tone

Bitcoin price stock today: BTC ticks up near $88,000 as Fed minutes and ETF flows set the tone

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Bitcoin edged higher on Tuesday as investors weighed U.S. interest-rate signals and year-end positioning, with crypto-linked stocks trading mixed after Wall Street’s regular session ended. Reuters The modest move matters now because liquidity is thin into the final days of the year, which can exaggerate price swings across risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Analysts have cautioned against over-reading late-December moves. Reuters Markets were also digesting the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes, which underscored debate inside the central bank about the path for policy in 2026 after a quarter-point rate cut earlier this

Silver price today: SLV pops after-hours as spot silver rebounds from record-high whiplash

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:42 ET — After-hours Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a silver-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF), were last up $2.99 at $68.98 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The move followed a bounce in silver prices after a violent, year-end swing that rattled positioning across precious metals. Spot silver hit a record $83.62 an ounce on Monday before registering its biggest daily drop since August 2020. Reuters+1 That matters now because tighter trading conditions can amplify moves in a market that has already been surging. CME said in a clearing advisory that updated “performance bond” (margin) requirements

Dow Jones today: DJIA slips after Fed minutes; Boeing pops on $8.6B Pentagon deal

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:41 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Tuesday slightly lower as investors parsed Federal Reserve minutes and trimmed exposure into year-end. The blue-chip index fell 94.87 points, or 0.2%, to 48,367.06. Reuters The soft finish comes with one more U.S. trading session left in 2025, a period when reduced liquidity can magnify small shifts in positioning. For the Dow, which is price-weighted, moves in higher-priced components can have an outsized impact on the index. Trading stayed subdued in a holiday-thinned market, with many investors already winding down activity for the year, the

Meta’s Manus AI deal lifts META as S&P 500 slips in thin year-end trade; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:42 ET — After-hours U.S. stocks finished modestly lower on Tuesday, with Meta Platforms climbing on an AI acquisition that helped offset weakness in technology and financial shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.14% to 6,896.24, the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.23% to 23,419.08 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.20% to 48,367.06. Reuters The subdued close mattered because trading desks are heading into the final session of 2025 with holiday-thinned liquidity, a setup that can exaggerate price swings. Investors have also started to rotate within the market after last week’s rally pushed the S&P 500

Cisco stock slips in year-end trade as Fed minutes keep CSCO investors cautious

Cisco stock slips in year-end trade as Fed minutes keep CSCO investors cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:34 ET — After-hours Cisco Systems’ shares closed down 0.49% on Tuesday and edged up slightly in after-hours trading, tracking a muted late-December tape for U.S. technology stocks. The timing matters. With only a handful of sessions left in 2025, thin liquidity can amplify moves in large-cap names, and investors are rebalancing portfolios ahead of early-January data and policy events. Cisco sits near the center of that recalibration because investors treat it as a read-through on enterprise IT budgets and the networking buildout tied to artificial intelligence workloads. Cisco closed at $77.41 and traded as

Coinbase stock dips after-hours as Needham slashes target, flags weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:20 ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares slipped in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Needham lowered its price target on the crypto exchange operator, pointing to a weaker outlook for trading activity. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to trading volumes — the amount of buying and selling on its platforms — which can cool when price momentum fades and retail investors step back. TipRanks That dynamic is back in focus heading into year-end, when liquidity thins and swings in crypto-linked stocks can be amplified by small shifts in risk appetite.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:24 PM ET — After-hours.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:29 ET — After-hours Boeing stock rose about 0.6% to $218.50 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the Pentagon said it awarded the company an $8.6 billion contract for the F-15 Israel Program, covering 25 new F-15IA fighter jets with an option for 25 more.

The stock traded between $111.85 and $112.68 in the regular session, with about 11.7 million shares changing hands.

No $2,000 IRS stimulus check is coming in February 2026 — but Trump’s tariff-check talk keeps the rumors alive

Trump told NBC he is considering $2,000 tariff rebate checks but has not committed, saying any payout would likely come later in 2026. The IRS warns taxpayers to ignore texts and emails about “stimulus payments” and verify notices through official channels.
