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

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. CME Group raised margin requirements on gold and silver futures for the

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. Rate expectations also loom

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. Reuters Fresh company-specific triggers were scarce. Rumble’s SEC EDGAR page showed its most recent filing was a Form 4 dated Dec. 1 — a disclosure

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

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. In late-stage Phase 3 trials — the final stage before approval — vomiting rates were about 10%–20% on Nereus versus 38%–44% on

The stock has traded between $20.78 and $21.51, with about 53,000 shares traded so far. The cruise-spa operator is often treated as a read-through on discretionary spending at sea. OneSpaWorld runs health and wellness centers on cruise ships and at destination resorts, and its annual report shows it served 199 ships at the end of 2024 under long-term contracts that average about five and a half years.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:25 ET The grocery industry’s new code of conduct will take full effect in Canada on Thursday, introducing a formal system for suppliers and grocers to resolve disputes over fees, penalties and contract terms. CityNews Calgary The move matters now because the relationship between large retailers and suppliers has been under intense scrutiny after years of food inflation and complaints about “contentious fees” charged to manufacturers and producers.

Lupin delays VISUfarma close date, doubles down on India obesity-drug push

Lupin delays VISUfarma close date, doubles down on India obesity-drug push

NEW YORK, Dec 31, 2025, 1:25 ET Lupin said the closing timeline for its acquisition of Dutch eye-care company VISUfarma has been extended, with the transaction now expected to be completed by Feb. 28, 2026. MarketScreener The delay matters because Lupin has pitched VISUfarma as a pillar of its specialty strategy in Europe, and the revised date pushes the deal past the company’s earlier goal of closing by the end of 2025. Lupin Lupin said the VISUfarma transaction is progressing and remains subject to customary closing conditions. Samco VISUfarma, based in the Netherlands, would be acquired through Lupin’s wholly owned
