AI Stocks Today: Nvidia Slips Premarket After Intel Filing Confirms $5B Stake

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:29 ET — Premarket Nvidia shares dipped 1.2% to $188.22 in premarket trading on Tuesday after Intel said a $5 billion stock purchase by the AI chip designer had been completed. Intel shares rose 1.3% to $36.68. (source) The move lands as investors reassess crowded “AI trade” positions into the final sessions of the year, with thinner liquidity often amplifying early moves in mega-cap tech. It also keeps attention on the hardware supply chain behind the AI boom, where cross-border policy and capital spending decisions can move chip and data-center names quickly. Intel said in

Natural gas stock Woodside edges up after Turkey BOTAS LNG deal puts Louisiana project in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:30 ET — Premarket Woodside Energy Group’s U.S.-listed shares (WDS) last traded at $15.52, up about 1%, after the Australian natural gas producer signed a binding agreement to supply Turkey’s state-owned BOTAS with about 5.8 billion cubic metres of liquefied natural gas (LNG) over up to nine years starting in 2030. “This supply agreement … represents a strategic milestone,” Woodside executive Mark Abbotsford said. Reuters The deal matters because long-term LNG contracts can underpin project financing and smooth revenue expectations. In plain terms, buyers commit to take cargoes over years, which can make big export

Bitcoin price today slides toward $87K as ETF outflows weigh; Strategy, Coinbase stocks in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:13 ET — Premarket Bitcoin slipped early Tuesday, down 1.9% at $87,748 after trading between $86,780 and $89,410, with investors cautious in thin year-end conditions. The move matters because crypto has been trading more like other risk assets — sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations and liquidity. With U.S. markets heading into the final two sessions of the year, relatively small flows can push prices around. Reuters Attention has also turned back to the spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), vehicles that hold bitcoin and trade like shares. Those funds helped broaden access to bitcoin, but

XRP price today: Ripple token slides below $2 as Fed minutes loom, ETF inflows hold up

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:20 ET — Premarket XRP fell about 2.1% to $1.86 in early New York hours on Tuesday, slipping back below the $2 mark as a broad pullback in cryptocurrencies extended into year-end trade. The token changed hands between $1.84 and $1.90, while bitcoin and ether were also lower. The move comes as investors thin out positions into the final sessions of 2025, with market liquidity — the ease of buying or selling without moving price — typically lighter around the holidays. U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday as risk appetite softened, adding to a cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:03 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures were little changed in early premarket trading on Tuesday as investors waited for the Federal Reserve’s latest policy cues. S&P 500 futures were down 0.02% and Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.03%, while Dow futures were flat at 3:38 a.m. ET. markets.businessinsider.com The quiet start comes with Wall Street near record levels and trading conditions thinning into year-end.

Silver price today rebounds after sharp plunge; $80 level back on traders’ radar

Silver price today rebounds after sharp plunge; $80 level back on traders’ radar

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:07 ET — Premarket Spot silver rose early Tuesday after a steep selloff a day earlier, with the silver price today up 3.1% at $74.49 an ounce by 2:09 a.m. ET, after touching a record $83.62 in the prior session. The rebound matters because silver’s late-year surge has drawn heavy leverage and momentum trading, leaving prices prone to sharp, fast moves when liquidity is thin around year-end. That volatility has widened the gap between highs and lows over the past 24 hours, forcing traders to reassess positioning as silver heads into 2026 still near record

Barrick Gold stock rises premarket as gold price steadies after sharp selloff

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:07 ET — Premarket Barrick Mining shares were up 1.1% in premarket trade on Tuesday, tracking a rebound in gold prices after a sharp, year-end selloff rattled the precious-metals complex. StockAnalysis+1 The moves matter because gold has been whipsawing near record levels, and miners tend to amplify bullion’s swings as investors reassess margins, costs and cash flows. Thin holiday trading can magnify that volatility. Reuters+1 Markets are also waiting for the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes later Tuesday, a key checkpoint for rate-cut expectations that can move the dollar and Treasury yields — two major

SoFi stock (SOFI) slips into year-end: what traders are watching before the open

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:52 ET — Market closed SoFi Technologies (SOFI) shares ended the prior session lower as U.S. stocks retreated, with investors trimming exposure to growth-linked names ahead of the New Year. The move matters because SoFi trades like a high-beta fintech — it tends to swing more than the market when risk appetite shifts, especially when interest-rate expectations are in flux. With a holiday-shortened week and lighter volumes, small changes in rate and equity futures can translate into outsized moves in momentum stocks, traders said. SoFi closed at $26.82 on Monday, down 25 cents from the

Ondas stock today: ONDS steady as investors weigh Jan. 5 share issuance and a $56.6 million charge

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 03:19 ET — Market closed Ondas Holdings Inc shares closed Monday down 0.2% at $8.46, after trading between $8.22 and $8.66, according to market data. Volume was about 29.7 million shares.

That timing matters now. Ondas has become a high-volatility bet on counter-UAS — short for counter-unmanned aerial systems, the tools used to detect and stop unauthorized drones — and thin year-end liquidity can amplify swings in
