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 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 (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

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.

Updated: Dec. 12, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. ET (prices as of ~3:27 p.m. ET). Wall Street’s winning streak hit a speed bump on Friday afternoon, with the S&P 500 pulling back roughly 1% from Thursday’s record close as investors rotated out of the mega-cap tech winners that have powered much of 2025’s rally. The catalyst: renewed anxiety that the market’s AI boom is getting ahead of itself—this time sparked by Broadcom’s margin warning and the lingering hangover from Oracle’s recent drop, all while Treasury yields ticked higher and the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut path remained a live debate.

As of about 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, big tech stocks are under pressure as Broadcom’s margin warning and Oracle’s OpenAI data-center delays reignite “AI bubble” debate, while Nvidia’s China chip demand story and fresh Apple/Google legal headlines shape sentiment.
