Silver just hit a record above $80 — now it’s sliding as traders lock in gains

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:28 ET Silver slid on Monday after briefly topping $80 an ounce for the first time, as investors took profits late in the year and bets on easing geopolitical risks reduced demand for “safe-haven” assets such as precious metals.

Aeroméxico stock steadies before NYSE open as oil jumps and futures dip

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:18 ET — Premarket Grupo Aeroméxico’s U.S.-listed shares were indicated flat ahead of Monday’s open, last at $22.91 after a 3.29% jump on Friday. StockAnalysis The move matters because Aeroméxico is a relatively new U.S. listing, and thin, year-end trading can exaggerate price swings for recently listed stocks. Reuters+1 Airlines are also tightly linked to energy markets. Jet fuel is typically one of the biggest operating expenses, so rising oil prices can pressure airline shares.
