SINGAPORE (24 Dec 2025) — Singapore shares ended the Christmas Eve session slightly lower, with trading activity muted as investors headed into the festive break and liquidity thinned across global markets.

Canada Stock Market Today (Dec. 24, 2025): TSX Slips From Record Highs in Holiday Trading as Miners Cool Off and the Loonie Firms

Canada’s stock market ended Christmas Eve on a slightly weaker footing, with the S&P/TSX Composite Index easing back from this week’s record territory as profit-taking hit materials and mining names in a holiday-shortened sessionthat kept trading volumes light. The pullback was modest—but the day’s moves carried a clear year-end message: after a powerful run powered by precious metals, financials, and resource-linked momentum, investors appear increasingly selective about where they take risk into the final stretch of 2025 and the start of 2026.

UK Stock Market Today (24 December 2025): FTSE 100 Slips in Christmas Eve Trade as BP’s Castrol Sale and SolGold Takeover Lead Headlines

LONDON — UK shares ended Christmas Eve in the red after a holiday-shortened session defined by thin volumes, modest profit-taking and deal-driven stock moves. The FTSE 100 closed down 0.19% at 9,870.68, while the FTSE 250fell 0.16% to 22,314.50, as traders largely stepped back ahead of the two-day UK market closure for Christmas and Boxing Day. (investments.lloydsbank.com) With the London Stock Exchange operating an early close and much of Europe also running on reduced hours (or shut), the day’s action was less about macro shocks and more about specific corporate catalysts—most notably BP’s landmark Castrol divestment, and SolGold’s agreed takeover—alongside positioning into year-end after a standout 2025 for UK

Christmas Day in the UK (Thursday, 25 December 2025) is famously quiet on the retail front — and for many people that’s the point.

The key thing to know this Christmas Day is that most “big shop” options will be off the table, but a few types of places are reliably open — especially motorway service stations, many petrol forecourts, and a rota of pharmacies.

Shops Open on Christmas Day in Australia 2025: What’s Open, What’s Closed, and Where to Get Essentials

Christmas Day in Australia is famous for two things: the lunch spread… and the moment you realise you’re missing something crucial (ice, batteries, nappies, medicine, or that “one last ingredient” for gravy). The catch is that Christmas Day (Thursday, 25 December 2025) is also one of the quietest retail days of the year, with most major retailers and shopping centres shut and public holiday rules varying by state.
