Silver Price Today (Dec 25, 2025): Spot Silver Holds Near $72 After Fresh Record High — What’s Driving XAG/USD Now

Silver is spending Christmas Day doing something traders love and hate in equal measure: calming down after a historic sprint. After ripping to a new all-time high around $72.70 per ounce, spot silver (XAG/USD) is now holding near the $72 area in thin holiday trading, with prices hovering roughly $71.5–$72.0 depending on the feed and timestamp. Dawn That “depending on the feed” line isn’t a cop-out—it’s the reality of a market that trades globally, across time zones, with liquidity noticeably reduced around Christmas.

Gold Price Today (December 25, 2025): Spot Gold Pares Gains Near $4,475 After Record $4,525 Breakout

Updated: Thursday, December 25, 2025 — Gold prices are taking a breath on Christmas Day after a blistering, record-setting sprint that pushed spot bullion through the psychological $4,500-per-ounce level. In thin holiday trading, spot gold eased to around $4,479 per ounce after earlier touching a fresh all-time high near $4,525, with traders locking in profits into the year-end break.

U.S. Stock Market Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Wall Street Closed for Christmas After Dow and S&P 500 Hit Fresh Records

Wall Street is taking the day off. The U.S. stock market is closed today, Thursday, December 25, 2025, for the Christmas Day holiday, pausing trading after a holiday-shortened Christmas Eve session that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 to new all-time closing highs.

Vanguard Says Flip the 60/40 Portfolio for 2026: Bonds Back, AI Risks Rising

December 25, 2025 — The classic 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has long been the shorthand for “balanced” investing. But heading into 2026, one of the world’s most influential asset managers is pushing a noticeably different message: the next decade may reward a more bond-heavy mix—not because growth is collapsing, but because markets are pricing in a lot of good news, especially in U.S. mega-cap tech and AI. The timing is striking. With the S&P 500 closing at a record high on Christmas Eve and investors looking ahead to 2026, the debate over whether AI enthusiasm is “the new
