Crypto Stocks Today in the US Market: COIN, MSTR, HUT and Bitcoin Miner Shares Move Higher at Midday (Dec. 18, 2025)

At 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025, crypto-related stocks in the U.S. are mostly trading higher even as Bitcoin and Ethereum drift lower, underscoring a theme that’s defined much of December: company-specific catalysts and “AI pivot” narratives can briefly overpower the day-to-day tape of crypto prices. As of roughly 12:03 p.m. ET, Bitcoin (BTC) is around $86,130 (-0.7%) and Ethereum (ETH) is about $2,841 (-0.7%)after choppy trading that took BTC as high as ~$89,230 and as low as ~$85,355 earlier in the session. What’s powering the stock moves: a mix of macro relief (a softer U.S. inflation print), platform expansion plans(Coinbase and prediction markets / stock trading), and miners repositioning as

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Hits Five-Week High After Bank of England Cuts Rates to 3.75%

LONDON (5:15pm GMT, Thursday 18 December 2025) — UK shares ended higher on Thursday as the Bank of England delivered a widely expected interest-rate cut, while a softer-than-forecast US inflation print lifted global risk appetite and helped underpin a late-December rally in rate-sensitive sectors such as retail and hospitality. By the London close, the FTSE 100 rose 0.7% to 9,841.55, its strongest finish in more than five weeks, and the domestically focused FTSE 250 climbed 0.7% to 22,314.34. sharecast.com UK stock market close: FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 key levels London’s session was ultimately defined by a “macro + micro” mix: central-bank decisions and inflation data on the

Semiconductor Stocks Rally at Midday (Dec. 18, 2025): Micron Ignites the AI-Memory Trade as CPI Cools and Chip ETFs Jump

NEW YORK — Dec. 18, 2025 (around 12:00 p.m. ET) — U.S. semiconductor stocks are rebounding sharply at midday, with Micron’s surge powering a broad move higher across chipmakers, foundries, and chip-equipment names as investors digest a softer-than-expected inflation print and renewed (if still cautious) expectations for rate cuts. Reuters+1 The result: chip investors are getting a rare “two-tailwind” setup in the same session—fundamental upside surprise(Micron’s AI-driven memory outlook) plus a macro tailwind (cooler headline inflation and lower yields). Still, the rally comes with caveats: economists and strategists are flagging data-quality issues tied to the recent government shutdown, and Wall Street remains sensitive to any sign that AI

NEW YORK — Electric vehicle (EV) stocks are in the spotlight in U.S. trading on Thursday, December 18, 2025, as a softer‑than‑expected inflation update pushes yields lower and revives appetite for growth names. At the same time, the sector is digesting several company‑specific catalysts: Tesla’s California self‑driving marketing case, a fresh Rivian upgrade tied to its upcoming R2 platform, and new signs that legacy automakers are recalibrating EV plans amid shifting policy and demand expectations. Below is what’s moving the major EV and EV‑adjacent stocks around noon Eastern (12:00 p.m. ET) — and what the latest headlines and forecasts suggest for the next leg of

NEW YORK — Dec. 18, 2025 (around 12:00 p.m. ET): U.S.-listed space and defense stocks are attracting outsized attention at midday as investors balance three forces moving the sector at once: a broader equity rebound on softer inflation, major Washington policy headlines that could reshape contractor cash returns, and fresh national-security catalysts spanning Taiwan and rapid-response space launches. The result is a tale of two baskets: diversified aerospace-and-defense funds are broadly higher, many defense-tech and space names are outperforming, while a few mega-prime contractors are mixed as the market prices in new political and execution risk.

Big Tech stocks are back in control of the tape around 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, December 18, 2025, with investors leaning into a familiar late-cycle trade: cooler inflation → lower yields → higher-growth tech.

NEW YORK — December 18, 2025 (around midday ET) — Quantum computing stocks on U.S. markets are attempting a bounce Thursday after a sharp, sentiment-driven pullback that hit high-beta tech names. As of the latest available pricing near midday (11:42 a.m. ET timestamps), the four U.S.-listed “pure-play” quantum names are all higher on the session, with traders reacting to a mix of partnership news, M&A headlines, and fresh analyst coverage that frames quantum as a long-duration “compute” theme tied to the AI buildout. At the same time, today’s coverage makes clear the debate is still wide open: bulls argue quantum becomes

As of 5:45 a.m. ET on Thursday, December 18, 2025, “AI stocks” are living through a familiar whiplash: the long-term narrative (exploding compute demand) is colliding with a near-term market question investors can’t ignore anymore—who pays for the next wave of AI infrastructure, and when do the profits show up? Wednesday’s U.S. session delivered a clear message: Wall Street is still willing to back AI, but it’s becoming far more selective about where the risk sits—especially when leverage, capex, and multi-year payback periods enter the picture.

Updated: 5:45 a.m. ET (EST), Thursday, December 18, 2025 — Electric vehicle (EV) stocks are waking up to a policy-and-regulation-heavy news cycle that’s colliding with a broader tech reset. Before U.S. markets open, investors are juggling three headline forces that can move EV shares quickly: Tesla’s regulatory risk in California, Ford’s deepening pivot away from large EV commitments (with direct fallout for battery suppliers), and a major shift in Europe’s 2035 “all-electric” trajectory that could reshape the competitive map for legacy automakers and EV pure-plays.
