Stock Market Today (Dec. 12, 2025): Global Stocks Split as AI-Fueled Tech Slumps Hit Wall Street, While Asia Rallies and Europe Fades

Stock Market Today (Dec. 12, 2025): Global Stocks Split as AI-Fueled Tech Slumps Hit Wall Street, While Asia Rallies and Europe Fades

Global stock markets ended Friday, December 12, 2025 with a familiar late-year mix of optimism and nerves: relief that the U.S. Federal Reserve has shifted toward easier policy, and renewed anxiety that parts of the AI trade may be running ahead of profits. Overnight, Asian equities climbed—led by Japan’s record-setting rally—while Europe opened firmer but ultimately slipped as tech-linked jitters spread. In the U.S., major indexes fell sharply from recent records as investors reacted to new warnings about margins and spending in the AI ecosystem, alongside a rebound in Treasury yields.

Stock Market Today (Dec. 12, 2025): S&P 500 and Nasdaq Slide After Broadcom Rekindles AI-Bubble Fears as Yields Rise

NEW YORK — After the closing bell on Friday, December 12, 2025, U.S. stocks pulled back from fresh record highs, led by another sharp drawdown in mega-cap and semiconductor names tied to the artificial-intelligence boom. The move snapped the market out of a strong stretch that culminated with record closes for the S&P 500 and Dow a day earlier. AP News+1 Investors had a familiar list of pressures to digest: renewed questions about how quickly massive AI spending will translate into profits, a rise in Treasury yields that tends to weigh on high-valuation growth stocks, and fresh debate inside the Federal Reserve after multiple policymakers dissented

Canada Stock Market Today: TSX Slips After Record High as Tech Drops, Cannabis Rally Lifts Healthcare (Dec. 12, 2025)

TORONTO (After the Bell, 4:30 p.m. ET) — Canada’s benchmark stock index ended Friday in the red after a choppy session that saw early strength in cannabis and mining shares give way to a broad tech-led pullback. The S&P/TSX Composite Index closed down 0.4% (133.34 points) at 31,527.39, easing back from Thursday’s record close and trimming what had been shaping up as a stronger finish to the week. TradingView The late-day drag came largely from the same force weighing on global markets: renewed skepticism around richly valued technology and AI-linked names. The dynamic was stark on the TSX, where a surge in health

Bitcoin Price Today (Dec. 12, 2025): BTC Slides Toward $90,000 — Why Bitcoin Is Down as Fed Pause Jitters and Tech Selloff Hit Risk Appetite

Bitcoin price today fell back near $90K after an early rebound. Here’s why BTC is down: Fed pause signals, AI-driven tech selloff, ETF-flow uncertainty, and key support levels. Bitcoin price today is under pressure again, with BTC sliding back toward the psychologically important $90,000 handle after failing to build on an earlier bounce. The move has traders revisiting the same question that’s dominated crypto headlines for weeks: why is Bitcoin down today—again—even after the Federal Reserve cut rates? As of the latest major-market pricing, BTC/USD was around $90,297, down roughly 1.6% over 24 hours, after trading between about $89,585 and $93,519 in the session.

U.S. Mortgage Rates Today (Dec. 12, 2025): 30-Year Fixed Hovers Near 6.2% After the Fed Cut — Forecasts for 2026

U.S. Mortgage Rates Today (Dec. 12, 2025): 30-Year Fixed Hovers Near 6.2% After the Fed Cut — Forecasts for 2026

December 12, 2025 — Mortgage rates in the U.S. are ending the week in a familiar place: the low-6% range. That’s welcome news for home shoppers who’ve watched borrowing costs swing sharply over the past two years, but it’s also a reminder of how stubbornly “sticky” mortgage pricing can be—even after a Federal Reserve rate cut. Freddie Mac’s weekly benchmark shows the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.22% for the week ending December 11, 2025 (up slightly from 6.19% the prior week), while the 15-year fixed averaged 5.54%. Freddie Mac also notes the 30-year rate remains below its year-to-date average of 6.62%, a key reason some economists

Silver Price Today (Dec. 12, 2025): Why XAG/USD Is Down After a Record High — and What Analysts Forecast Next

Silver is having a “two-speed” day on Friday, December 12, 2025: it set a fresh all-time high early in the session, then pulled back sharply as traders locked in profits and macro headwinds returned. By early afternoon in New York, spot silver (XAG/USD) was down about 3% near $61.7–$61.9 per ounce, after printing a record around $64.64–$64.66 earlier in the day. FXStreet+3TradingView+3FXStreet+3 So if you’re asking “silver price today — why is it down?” the short answer is: a classic profit-taking reversal from record highs, helped along by a firmer U.S. dollar, rising Treasury yields, and risk-off crosswinds that pushed traders to reduce exposure ahead of key U.S. data next week.

XRP Price Today (Dec. 12, 2025): Why XRP Is Down Near $2 Despite Ripple’s Trust Bank Green Light, ETF Flows and New DeFi Expansion

XRP price today: XRP is trading around $2.00 on Friday, December 12, 2025, down roughly 1.5% on the day in the latest aggregated feed, with an intraday range near $1.98–$2.05. That dip is catching attention because it’s happening on a headline-heavy day for the Ripple ecosystem: U.S. regulators moved Ripple closer to a national trust bank, a new spot XRP ETF is hitting U.S. markets, and “wrapped XRP” is expanding XRP’s reach into DeFi on other major blockchains. The short version: today’s XRP weakness looks less like a single “bad XRP headline” and more like a mix of macro risk-off, profit-taking, soft on-chain/derivatives signals, and technical resistance near

Gold Price Today (December 12, 2025): Why Gold Is Down After a Seven-Week High — Fed Rate-Cut Bets, Dollar Bounce, and Profit-Taking in Focus

Updated: December 12, 2025 Gold is slightly lower in early trade today, even after a strong post-Fed rally pushed bullion to a seven‑week high. The move isn’t a full reversal—more a pause—driven mainly by profit-taking, a modest rebound in the U.S. dollar, and a short-term shift back into risk assets (stocks and industrial metals). The Economic Times+2Reuters+2 At the same time, the broader backdrop remains supportive: traders are still leaning toward further Federal Reserve easing in 2026, and physical-market pricing in Asia shows demand has cooled at these elevated levels—an important check on how fast prices can run.
