Fannie Mae stock (FNMA) slides 4% into year-end as housing data and Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:40 ET — Market closed Fannie Mae shares sank on Monday, closing down 4.1% at $10.33 in over-the-counter trading, after touching $10.55 at the high and $10.08 at the low. Volume was about 3.0 million shares. Investing.com The stock’s swings matter because Fannie Mae sits at the center of the U.S. mortgage machine. It buys home loans from lenders and guarantees mortgage-backed securities, so investor focus tends to snap to mortgage rates and the health of housing demand. With the year ending, that focus is sharpening. Fresh housing-price data and the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting

Serve Robotics stock drops 3% then ticks higher after hours as year-end trading thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:22 ET — Market closed. Serve Robotics shares fell 3.25% on Monday to close at $9.81, then rose about 2% in after-hours trade. MarketWatch The late-year backdrop matters for small-cap stocks like Serve, where lighter liquidity can exaggerate day-to-day moves. With fewer buyers and sellers around, even routine flows can push prices more than usual. MarketScreener “It’s a very light trading week ahead; volume is low,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, pointing to tax-loss harvesting — selling losing positions to offset capital gains for tax purposes.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:23 ET — Market closed Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU) shares closed up 1.7% on Monday at $212.54 after the company said founder Chip Wilson submitted nominations for three director candidates in a move that could trigger a proxy fight.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:52 ET — Market closed. Society Pass Incorporated shares ended sharply higher in the latest U.S. session after the company rolled out a live-commerce advertising platform tied to TikTok Shop in Thailand and then priced a small equity raise overnight. MarketScreener+2GlobeNewswire+2 The twin announcements matter now because they combine a growth pitch with fresh dilution risk.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:50 ET — Market closed Baidu, Inc.’s U.S.-listed shares closed up 1.6% at $126.81 on Monday. A U.S. securities filing showed Baidu officer Wang Haifeng proposed selling 50,000 American depositary shares (ADS), worth about $6.24 million, after a same-day cashless option exercise and restricted-share vesting under company incentive plans.

Energy Transfer stock today: ET edges up as oil jumps, with pipeline risks and earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:09 ET — Market closed Energy Transfer LP’s units closed up 0.12% at $16.27 on Monday, after trading between $16.24 and $16.34. Volume was about 11.8 million units. The modest move matters because Energy Transfer sits in the midstream pipeline group, where investors focus on cash payouts and steady fee revenue rather than big swings in commodity prices. Midstream operators are sometimes described as “toll roads” for oil and gas: they earn fees to move and store fuel. That can cushion earnings when oil and gas prices whip around, but the units still trade with

PAN-Aadhaar deadline hits Dec. 31: What to do now to avoid an “inoperative” PAN

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:58 ET India’s Income Tax Department is pressing taxpayers to complete the mandatory linking of Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards with Aadhaar identity numbers before a Dec. 31 deadline, warning that an unlinked PAN can turn “inoperative” for key uses. Hindustan Times+1 The timing matters because PAN — a tax identification number used widely across India’s financial system — is needed for filing income-tax returns and for many banking and investment transactions. The government’s own guidance says refunds can also be held up when a PAN is inoperative. Income Tax Department+1 A government notification issued

Praxis Precision Medicines (PRAX) stock jumps 13% after FDA breakthrough designation for tremor drug

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:52 ET — Market closed. Praxis Precision Medicines shares climbed about 13% in Monday’s session, last trading at $304.58, after the company said U.S. regulators granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for its experimental essential tremor treatment.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 00:53 ET — Market closed. New Era Energy & Digital, Inc (NUAI) shares ended Monday down 41% at $2.69 after swinging from $4.58 to $2.66. The stock was last indicated at $2.42 in after-hours trading. The steep drop leaves the small-cap stock trading on headlines as investors weigh legal and cleanup risks against the company’s push into power-linked data center projects.

Newmont (NEM) stock drops 5.6% as CME margin hike jolts gold and silver

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 23:56 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares slid on Monday, closing down 5.6% at $99.81 after a sharp pullback in precious metals hit miners across the board. The stock traded between $97.84 and $103.93 on the day. The drop matters now because Newmont has become a liquid proxy for bullion in a year when metals have swung hard on macro headlines and thin, year-end trading. When gold and silver reverse, miners often move more than the metal because their profits hinge on the gap between selling prices and operating costs. Gold and silver fell

Lloyds share price steadies after buyback update and BoE rate jitters — what to watch next week

7 February 2026
LONDON, February 7, 2026, 08:48 GMT — Market closed Lloyds Banking Group shares finished Friday higher after the lender flagged another round of share buybacks, helping to steady the stock at the end of a volatile two-day swing driven by shifting expectations for UK interest rates. With London markets closed for the weekend, the focus moves to Monday’s open and whether rate-cut pricing keeps easing pressure on bank earnings. Lloyds is a UK-focused lender, and investors tend to treat it as a clean play on domestic growth, mortgages and the direction of Bank Rate. That makes the stock quick to
