Pitney Bowes NT 43 drops 3% today as Treasury yields rise — what’s next for PBI.PRB

Pitney Bowes NT 43 drops 3% today as Treasury yields rise — what’s next for PBI.PRB

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:16 ET — Regular session Pitney Bowes Inc.’s NT 43 — its exchange-listed notes due 2043 — fell 3.0% to $21.04 in afternoon trading on Wednesday, after opening at $21.65. The security traded between $21.00 and $21.72, with volume around 50,000 shares as U.S. 10-year yields moved higher. Investing.com The move matters because NT 43 trades like a stock but behaves like a bond: when market interest rates rise, fixed-rate income securities often fall as investors demand a higher yield. Liquidity can also thin late in the year, amplifying price swings in niche, income-focused listings.

GlobalFoundries (GFS) stock slides after Wedbush downgrade warns chip downturn will last longer

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:25 ET — Regular session Shares of GlobalFoundries Inc (GFS) fell 2.6% to $35.17 by 2:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday after Wedbush downgraded the contract chipmaker, pressuring the stock on the year’s final trading day. The shares touched $35.03 at the session low. The downgrade lands as investors try to pin down when demand will rebound across consumer electronics, industrial gear and autos — end markets that drive factory loadings for chipmakers. For GlobalFoundries, the timing matters because its business depends on keeping fabs busy; when customers cut orders, lower utilization means more fixed costs

Endeavour Silver stock falls in New York trade as silver rout hits miners ahead of China export curbs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:17 ET — Regular session Endeavour Silver Corp (NYSE: EXK) shares fell 2.7% to $9.54 in early afternoon New York trading on Wednesday. The stock traded between $9.42 and $9.89, with about 9.3 million shares changing hands. The move highlights how quickly sentiment can shift for silver-linked stocks into year-end, after a blockbuster run in the metal. For miners, day-to-day swings in bullion can feed straight through to revenue expectations and risk appetite. A fresh jump in trading costs helped set the tone.

India freezes PPF, SCSS and Sukanya Samriddhi rates for Jan–Mar 2026 — what savers earn now

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:17 ET India’s finance ministry kept interest rates unchanged on a range of post office small-savings schemes for the January–March 2026 quarter, a decision that preserves returns on some of the country’s most widely held household savings products. Public Provident Fund (PPF) stays at 7.1%, while the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) and Sukanya Samriddhi Account remain at 8.2%, the ministry said. The Economic Times The rates matter because they set the floor for low-risk household returns just as the new quarter begins on Jan. 1, and many savers make or adjust contributions around year-end.

Chime stock slides nearly 4% in year-end trade as fintechs wobble

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:38 ET — Regular session Chime Financial (CHYM.O) shares fell about 3.9% to $25.30 on Wednesday, extending a pullback in the consumer fintech stock on the last trading day of 2025. The shares traded between $25.30 and $26.32 after opening at $26.29. The late-December tape is often noisy. Trading volumes can thin out around holidays, and that can amplify swings as investors rebalance books into year-end. That matters for Chime because newer, growth-leaning fintech listings tend to react quickly when investors rotate between riskier names and defensive corners of the market.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:29 ET MarineServices.ie said it has acquired the commercial workboat Puffin and brought the vessel back to its home port of Dún Laoghaire, adding capacity to its commercial vessel charter operations. https://afloat.ie/sail/how-to-sail/inss/item/69816-marine-services-acquires-puffin-to-expand-commercial-vessel-charter The move matters as operators around Irish ports face steady demand for small, multi-purpose workboats that can support marine construction, dive support and salvage jobs on short notice.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:32 ET — Regular session Shares of Rumble Inc fell 2.6% to $6.39 in early afternoon trading on Wednesday, after touching a session low of $6.35 and a high of $6.60. The move comes as investors keep a close eye on Rumble’s push beyond video into cloud and AI-related infrastructure, anchored by its proposed purchase of Germany’s Northern Data in an all-share deal that Reuters valued at about $767 million.

Santa Claus Rally Fizzles: S&P 500, Dow Slip as Tech Weighs on 2025 Finale

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:55 ET Wall Street’s main indexes inched lower in the final trading session of 2025, pressured by technology shares, but remained on track to finish the year with solid gains. The late-year dip matters because it comes after a volatile year shaped by tariff uncertainty from President Donald Trump and a powerful run in artificial intelligence, or AI, stocks that pushed major indexes to record highs. It also puts a spotlight on the market’s failure to deliver a “Santa Claus rally” — the seasonal pattern when the S&P 500 often rises over the last five

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:38 ET — Regular session Vanda Pharmaceuticals shares jumped 28.1% to $9.01 at 1:38 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Nereus (tradipitant) to prevent vomiting induced by motion. Vanda said the oral drug is a neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist — meaning it blocks a receptor involved in nausea signaling — and called it the first new pharmacologic motion-sickness treatment in more than four decades.

The move matters because gas-focused producers often trade as a high-beta proxy for the commodity, and year-end flows can amplify swings.

The stock has traded between $19.41 and $20.19, while the broader market was modestly lower.
