Wells Fargo (WFC) Stock After Hours Today, Dec. 24, 2025: Where It Closed, What’s Driving the Move, and What to Watch Before the Next Market Open

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) ended the Christmas Eve, holiday-shortened session in positive territory and continued to trade modestly higher after the closing bell—keeping the stock near fresh highs as year-end momentum stays intact across U.S. equities. Just as important for investors planning the next trade: the U.S. stock market is closed on Thursday, December 25, 2025 (Christmas Day), so the “next open” is the following session. Nasdaq+1 WFC after the bell: today’s close, after-hours price, and key levels Because December 24 was an early-close session (1:00 p.m. ET), the “after the bell” window begins much earlier than on

Natural Gas Today at 5:02 (Dec. 24, 2025): U.S. Futures Slide Toward $4.25 as Weather Models Ease Heating Demand; Europe’s TTF Ticks Higher

Natural gas markets are ending Christmas Eve with a familiar mix of volatility and contradiction: U.S. Henry Hub-linked futures are retreating after a sharp rally, while Europe’s benchmark prices are firming modestly—all as traders juggle shifting temperature models, LNG headlines, and a holiday-altered flow of “must-watch” data releases. As of today’s session on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Natural Gas futures were around $4.249 per MMBtu, down about 3.6% on the day, after opening near $4.421 and trading in a $4.183–$4.589 range. Investing.com In Europe, the TTF benchmark rose to roughly €28.09/MWh on Dec. 24, up about 1.37%. Trading Economics The

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 24, 2025, 5:02 p.m. ET): Nvidia’s Reported $20B Groq Deal, Snowflake M&A Talk, and Wall Street’s 2026 AI Outlook

As of 5:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, the “AI trade” is closing out a holiday-shortened session with fresh momentum — and a new set of questions investors can’t ignore. On one hand, U.S. benchmarks pushed to new records during the early Christmas Eve close, a classic “Santa rally” setup supported by easing-rate expectations and renewed appetite for mega-cap tech and AI names. On the other hand, today’s biggest AI headlines aren’t just about chips and models anymore. They’re increasingly about dealmaking, data-center financing, capital-expenditure transparency, and regulatory pressure on how AI assistants get distributed to consumers. Reuters+1

XRP Price Today at 5:02 PM ET: XRP Holds Near $1.86 as Traders Watch $1.85 Support and the $2 Breakout (Dec. 24, 2025)

Dec. 24, 2025 — The XRP price today was trading around $1.86 at approximately 5:02 p.m. ET, keeping Ripple’s token pinned below the psychologically important $2.00 level as holiday-thinned liquidity collides with an increasingly technical market. Investing.com While XRP remains one of the most-watched large-cap altcoins heading into year-end, price action on December 24, 2025 is being shaped less by a single headline and more by a tightening tug-of-war: near-term sellers defending the $1.90–$2.00 region versus buyers trying to hold the mid-$1.80s as a base.

Bitcoin Price Today at 5:02 p.m. ET (Dec. 24, 2025): BTC Holds Near $87,600 as ETF Outflows and Record Options Expiry Loom

Bitcoin is ending Christmas Eve in a familiar place: stuck in a tight range, with traders watching ETF flows and derivatives positioning for the next catalyst. As of 5:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 24, 2025 (22:02 UTC), Bitcoin (BTC) traded at about $87,636, little changed on the session, after printing an intraday range roughly between $86,540 and $87,742 across major feeds. That “quiet” tape is the story of the day: thin holiday liquidity, recent U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, and a record-sized year-end options expiry that market participants say could “unpin” price—either direction—once positioning resets.

December 24, 2025 (Updated 5:01) — Silver prices are in sharp focus today after a historic run pushed the metal into fresh record territory.

Reuters last cited silver around $71.94/oz, still up about 0.7% on the day. Reuters That pullback doesn’t change the bigger picture: silver’s 2025 rally has been extraordinary. Reuters pegged silver’s year-to-date gain around 149%, highlighting how the “white metal” has outpaced gold’s rise this year. Reuters+1 Below is what’s driving silver today
