Australia Stock Market Today: ASX 200 Rises as Miners, Energy and Record Gold Lift Shares (22 December 2025)

Australia’s sharemarket kicked off the pre-Christmas week in upbeat fashion on Monday, with the S&P/ASX 200 trading higher into the afternoon as miners and energy stocks led broad-based gains. By early afternoon in Sydney, the benchmark was up about 0.9% around 8,701 points, with most sectors in the green and risk appetite supported by stronger global leads and a fresh surge in commodities. ABC+1 But beneath the headline rise, today’s Australia stock market story is really about three forces colliding at once: Here’s what’s moving Australian stocks today, what analysts are watching next, and what the near-term forecasts are pointing

BioMarin (BMRN) Stock Jumps on $4.8 Billion Amicus Deal: Latest News, Forecasts and Analyst Outlook for Dec. 21, 2025

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) is ending 2025 with a bang. Shares surged on Friday, December 19, closing at $61.15—up 17.71% on the day—after the company announced a $4.8 billion all-cash acquisition of rare-disease peer Amicus Therapeutics. Trading volume spiked to roughly 18.5 million shares, far above BioMarin’s recent daily activity, underscoring how dramatically the market repriced the story in a single session. Investing.com+2Reuters+2 As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, the weekend narrative around BioMarin stock is dominated by that deal—and what it signals: a sharper pivot toward durable rare-disease commercial franchises, an attempt to reduce dependence on BioMarin’s fast-growing

CoreWeave Stock (NASDAQ: CRWV): Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and 2026 Outlook as of December 21, 2025

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) has become one of the most watched—and most debated—AI infrastructure stocks of 2025. As of December 21, 2025 (a Sunday, with U.S. markets closed), CoreWeave shares are sitting near $83, after a sharp late-week rebound that followed weeks of volatility and “AI bubble” hand-wringing across Wall Street. The timing matters: the stock’s latest surge didn’t come from a single earnings print. Instead, it arrived at the intersection of (1) new/renewed bullish coverage from Wall Street, (2) fresh credibility signals from government and NVIDIA, and (3) investor anxiety about leverage, customer concentration, and data-center execution risk—the “boring”

Dec. 21, 2025 — Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) has become one of the market’s more polarizing small-cap defense-tech stories: part autonomous drones, part counter-drone (“counter-UAS”), part ground robotics, and—often forgotten in the headlines—part private industrial wireless networking.

Amicus Therapeutics Stock (FOLD) News: BioMarin’s $14.50 Cash Buyout, Deal Timeline, and the Latest Forecasts (Dec. 21, 2025)

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOLD) has effectively shifted from a “biotech story stock” to a deal-driven stock. The reason is simple and decisive: BioMarin Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ: BMRN) agreed to acquire Amicus in an all-cash transaction priced at $14.50 per share, putting a hard cap on the near-term upside—unless a competing bid emerges. SEC+1 With U.S. markets closed for the weekend, the most recent close available is $14.18 (Dec. 19, 2025)—a roughly 30% one-day jump that pushed shares close to the deal price and turned the remaining gap into a classic merger-arbitrage spread.

MEXICO CITY (Dec. 21, 2025) — The Mexico Stock Exchange is heading into the final full week of the year with a simple, slightly surreal message for investors: the rally is still alive, but it’s no longer effortless. Mexico’s benchmark S&P/BMV IPC index ended the last session before the weekend at 63,966.98 points, a hair below this month’s all-time highs.
