Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) Stock Jumps as Lithium Sentiment Reignites — Latest News, Forecasts and Analyst Outlook (22 December 2025)

Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) is ending 2025 the way only MinRes can: loudly, fast, and with several storylines colliding at once.

Bajaj Housing Finance Expansion Buzz, Innovative Tyres Heatmap Alert, and Binani Industries “Momentum Reversal”: Indian Stocks in Focus on December 22, 2025

Mumbai — December 22, 2025: A fresh round of market chatter and technical-screening commentary is putting three very different Indian listed names under the spotlight today—Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd (BSE: 544252 | NSE: BAJAJHFL), Innovative Tyres & Tubes Ltd (BSE: 535015 | NSE: ITTL), and Binani Industries—now BIL Vyapar Ltd (BSE: 500059 | NSE: BINANIIND). The common thread isn’t a single sector headline. It’s the collision between fundamentals (strategy, filings, and business reality) and market mechanics (price action, liquidity, and quantitative signals)—a combination that often drives Google Discover-era spikes in interest and “stocks to watch” lists.

Silver Surges to Record High Near $69/oz as Fed Rate-Cut Bets, Supply Tightness and Geopolitical Risks Fuel Safe-Haven Rush

Dec. 22, 2025 — Silver prices powered to fresh all-time highs on Monday, extending a breakout that has turned the “white metal” into one of 2025’s standout trades.

Investing.com India+1 The rally is also lifting the broader precious-metals complex.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX: CBA) on 22 December 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, Rate Outlook and What Investors Are Watching

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) stock is ending 2025 in a familiar position: absolutely central to the Australian sharemarket, heavily owned, and fiercely debated. On 22 December 2025, CBA shares traded around A$158.49 in afternoon trade (prices delayed), modestly higher on the day, after a choppy stretch for Australian bank stocks. Intelligent Investor That “choppy stretch” matters because CBA isn’t just another ASX name. It’s one of the market’s heavyweight drivers: in mid‑December, Reuters noted CBA alone accounts for nearly 10% of the S&P/ASX 200, meaning small moves in CBA can tug the entire index.

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”
