AI Stocks Today in Asia Stock Markets: Chip and Tech Shares Rebound as BOJ Hikes Rates and Nvidia’s China Chip Review Reshapes Sentiment (Dec. 19, 2025)

TOKYO / SEOUL / HONG KONG / TAIPEI — Friday, Dec. 19, 2025 — AI stocks across Asia stock markets bounced on Friday, with investors buying back into chip and platform names after a bruising week for “AI trade” valuations. The rebound came as Japan delivered a widely expected Bank of Japan (BOJ) rate hike, global risk appetite improved on a U.S. inflation downside surprise, and a fresh U.S. policy headline on Nvidia chip sales to Chinainjected both upside optionality and new uncertainty into the region’s AI supply chain narrative.

AI Stocks Today in India Stock Market: TCS, Infosys, HCLTech Lead the AI Theme as Nifty Closes Above 25,950 (19 Dec 2025)

Indian equities snapped a four-session losing streak on Friday, December 19, 2025, and AI-linked stocks—especially large IT services and digital engineering names—stayed firmly on investors’ radar. The day’s action was driven by a mix of global macro relief (cooler US inflation reviving rate-cut hopes), rupee stability, and fresh read-through from Accenture’s quarterly update, which continues to shape expectations for Indian IT demand into 2026. Reuters+3Reuters+3Moneycontrol+3 At the same time, the “AI stocks” story in India is widening beyond IT services. Market participants are increasingly clubbing data-centre operators, telecom/cloud infrastructure, and power-and-cooling ecosystem companies into a broader “AI compute” theme—helped by policy

Quantum Computing Stocks Today: IonQ, D-Wave, Rigetti and QUBT Move in US Premarket on Fresh Deals and New Wall Street Targets (Dec. 19, 2025)

U.S.-listed quantum computing stocks are back in focus in Friday’s premarket session as traders digest a burst of company-specific headlines—new contracts and partnerships, an M&A-driven photonics land grab, and a new wave of Wall Street coverage that’s putting ambitious 2026 price targets on some of the market’s most volatile tech names. The result: familiar tickers—IonQ (IONQ), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS), Rigetti Computing (RGTI) and Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT)—are seeing early moves as investors weigh near-term catalysts against the longer-term question that still defines the entire theme: How fast can “quantum promise” turn into durable, recurring revenue?

EV Stocks Today (Dec. 19, 2025): Tesla, Rivian, Lucid in Focus as Softer Inflation Lifts Rate-Cut Hopes in Premarket

U.S.-listed EV stocks are heading into Friday’s session with a familiar mix of macro tailwinds and company-specific headline risk. On the supportive side: the latest inflation data came in cooler than forecasts, nudging markets toward a more dovish Federal Reserve outlook—typically a constructive setup for long-duration, high-growth names across the EV ecosystem. On the cautionary side: policy uncertainty around charging buildouts and incentives remains a live theme, while regulatory scrutiny continues to hover over “autonomy” marketing claims and range disclosures. In early Friday premarket positioning, U.S. index futures were modestly higher, with S&P 500 futures up about 0.3%, Nasdaq 100

Semiconductor Stocks Today: Nvidia, Micron, Broadcom and Intel Rise in Premarket as AI-Memory Boom Meets China Export Review (Dec. 19, 2025)

NEW YORK — December 19, 2025 (US premarket): Semiconductor stocks are back in the driver’s seat Friday morning, with investors balancing two powerful (and competing) forces: Micron’s blowout AI-memory outlook, which is reinforcing the “AI infrastructure is still real” narrative, and fresh policy risk tied to Nvidia’s China business, after a Trump administration move to review potential shipments of an advanced AI chip to Chinese customers.

U.S. AI stocks are back in the spotlight heading into Friday’s opening bell, with premarket sentiment balancing two powerful forces: (1) a renewed “AI infrastructure” bid after Micron’s blockbuster outlook, and (2) policy and financing crosswinds—from chip export rules to mega–data center funding—still hanging over the sector. As of Friday, December 19, 2025, broader U.S. equity futures were mixed, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures pointing higher while Dow futures lagged, reflecting ongoing rotation into growth and tech after this week’s volatility.

Wall Street heads into Friday, December 19, 2025, with a familiar year-end mix of calm on the surface—and plenty of potential energy underneath. After a tech-led rebound on Thursday powered by a softer U.S. inflation print, U.S. stock index futures were little changed in early global trading, signaling a cautious start to the final full session before the holiday stretch. Reuters+1 The big question for traders and long-term investors alike: will Friday be a “quiet drift” into the close, or a volatility spike driven by a record-sized derivatives expiration—plus a busy slate of late-week economic indicators?

XRP Price Today (Dec. 19, 2025): XRP Holds Near $1.87 After Volatile CPI Whipsaw — Latest News, Key Levels, and Forecasts

XRP is trading around $1.87 on Friday, December 19, 2025, after a choppy stretch that briefly pushed prices into the $1.77–$1.78 zone before buyers stepped back in. Market data trackers show XRP still moving heavy liquidity—roughly $4–$5 billion in 24-hour trading volume—while its market capitalization sits near $113 billion, keeping it among crypto’s largest assets by value. CoinMarketCap+1 The day’s action is unfolding against a macro backdrop that’s been driving nearly every major token this week: a softer U.S. inflation print revived rate-cut debate, but traders remain cautious about whether the data is “clean” enough to justify a sustained risk-on rally into year-end.

Gold price today is trading just below record territory, but the market tone has shifted into “digest-and-decide” mode after the latest US inflation data. On Friday, December 19, spot gold eased slightly while still holding onto a weekly gain, as traders balanced a cooler CPI print (which can support rate-cut expectations) against a steadier US dollar (which can weigh on dollar-priced bullion).

Friday, December 19, 2025 brings a rare “headline night” for skywatchers: an interstellar comet is making its closest pass by Earth, the Moon is slipping into (or extremely near) a New Moon phase that darkens the sky, and the year’s final major meteor shower is ramping up ahead of its peak just before Christmas. If you only step outside once this week, tonight is a strong candidate—especially if you have access to binoculars or a telescope and a spot away from city lights.

In the early hours of Friday, December 19, 2025, an icy visitor from beyond our Solar System swept through our cosmic neighborhood—not close enough to scare anyone, but close enough to thrill astronomers. Comet 3I/ATLAS (also known by its formal designation C/2025 N1 (ATLAS)) reached its closest point to Earth at about 1:00 a.m. EST (06:00 GMT)—still a vast ~1.8 astronomical units away, or roughly 168 million miles (270 million kilometers).
