US Stock Market Today: Wall Street Closed Sunday as S&P 500 Nears 7,000 — Key News, Fed Minutes Preview, and What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:15 p.m. ET — Market Closed (Weekend) Wall Street is closed Sunday, giving investors a brief pause after a sleepy post-Christmas session that still left the major U.S. stock indexes parked near record territory — and on track to finish 2025 with strong double-digit gains. The next real test arrives Monday, when the final three trading days of 2025 begin. With liquidity often thin at year-end, headlines can move markets more than usual — and traders will be watching for signs that the “Santa Claus rally” continues, as well as fresh clues on the Federal

Dow Jones today: DJIA holds near record highs as markets close for the weekend and investors brace for Fed minutes, thin year-end trading

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:19 p.m. ET — Market closed With U.S. stock exchanges shut for the weekend, investors are heading into the final three trading sessions of 2025 watching one big question: does the year-end bid extend into the “Santa Claus rally” window—or does thin holiday liquidity turn routine headlines into outsized moves for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)? The Dow ended the last regular session essentially flat, slipping 20.19 points (‑0.04%) to 48,710.97 on Friday, while the S&P 500 eased 0.03% to 6,929.94 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.09% to 23,593.10, according to Reuters.

Canada Flight Delays Hit Toronto and Vancouver Amid Deep Freeze: Live Airport Tracker Tips, Passenger Rights, and How to Use Air Canada Aeroplan to Rebook Smarter

A brutal late-December cold snap is colliding with peak holiday demand, and Canadian air travel is feeling it in real time—especially for passengers moving through major hubs like Toronto and Vancouver. On Sunday, December 28, 2025, Travel And Tour World reported widespread disruptions affecting travelers “stuck in Canada” as winter conditions triggered 67 cancellations and 437 delays, with multiple airlines impacted, including Air Canada, Porter, WestJet, and regional operators.

Brian Moynihan’s 2026 Outlook: How Bank of America Sees AI Boosting Growth, While Consumer Confidence, Tariffs, and Copper Set the Tone for Markets

Brian Moynihan’s 2026 Outlook: How Bank of America Sees AI Boosting Growth, While Consumer Confidence, Tariffs, and Copper Set the Tone for Markets

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan is ending 2025 with a message that’s equal parts upbeat and wary: consumer spending is still growing, the U.S. economy looks positioned for solid growth in 2026, and artificial intelligence is starting to show measurable economic lift. But the next year, in his view, will also be shaped by a familiar trio of destabilizers—policy uncertainty, geopolitical shocks, and the real-world infrastructure constraints behind the AI boom. In a recent interview on CBS’s Face the Nation (filmed Dec. 17, aired Dec. 21; transcript published Dec. 28), Moynihan said Bank of America’s transaction data shows spending

Lou Gerstner, IBM CEO Who Engineered Big Blue’s 1990s Turnaround, Dies at 83

Louis V. “Lou” Gerstner Jr., the hard-charging executive widely credited with pulling IBM back from the brink in the 1990s and repositioning “Big Blue” for the internet era, has died at 83, IBM confirmed Sunday. IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna told employees that Gerstner, who led the company from 1993 to 2002, “passed away yesterday,” and the company did not disclose a cause of death. IBM Newsroom+1 Gerstner arrived at IBM at a moment Krishna described as “genuinely uncertain,” when rapid industry change and internal debate left open the question of whether the company should “remain whole.” In Krishna’s

(NYSE: V) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with U.S. markets shut for the weekend and investors weighing two familiar forces for mega-cap payment stocks: a year-end, low-liquidity tape and a steady stream of macro and regulatory headlines that can quickly reset sentiment when trading resumes Monday.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:24 a.m. ET — Market Closed — Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) stock is not trading Sunday with U.S. exchanges closed for the weekend.

The last regular session (Friday) delivered a familiar IREN tape: big swings, heavy volume, and a close that left the stock sitting in the middle of a widening narrative battle between “AI data center winner” and “crypto-linked volatility.” IREN ended Friday at
