SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock After Hours: What Happened on Dec. 23, 2025 — and What to Know Before the Dec. 24 Market Open

SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) ended Tuesday, December 23, 2025, in a holding pattern — and the after-hours tape didn’t add much drama. SOFI closed the regular session at $27.19, and after-hours trading was essentially flat in the early evening, with modest extended-hours volume.

As investors look toward Wednesday’s open (Dec. 24, 2025), the “what matters” list for GILD is less about tonight’s after-hours tick and more about the headlines that could shape sentiment into year-end: Gilead’s move to expand its antiviral pipeline with a new herpes program, the company’s upcoming J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference appearance, and the still-fresh U.S. drug-pricing/tariff-relief agreements that are reshaping how big

Thai Baht Hits Four-Year High as Thailand Weighs Online Gold Tax and Trading Curbs; Ringgit Rallies and Singapore Stocks Break Records (Dec 23, 2025)

Thailand’s baht surged to its strongest levels in more than four years on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, prompting an unusually coordinated response from Bangkok’s financial authorities—and putting the spotlight on a force that has quietly become one of Asia’s most influential currency drivers this year: gold. A rally in bullion, amplified by Thailand’s deep and highly active gold-trading ecosystem, has pushed the baht to the top of the region’s currency leaderboard. But the move is now creating headaches for policymakers and exporters at the same time Southeast Asian markets are being buoyed by a softer U.S. dollar, a year-end risk-on
