Wheaton Precious Metals stock slips as gold cools into 2026; Fed and jobs data loom for WPM

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:11 ET — Market closed Wheaton Precious Metals Corp shares (WPM) last closed down 1.2% at $117.52 on Wednesday, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:10 ET — Market closed Shares of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) last closed down 0.23% at $69.91 on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. stock markets shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Enbridge Inc shares last closed at $47.83, down 0.46%, after U.S. markets shuttered on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. StockAnalysis+1 That matters because Enbridge trades as a high-cashflow pipeline and utility operator that investors often buy for income, making it sensitive to shifts in rates and risk appetite.

ARCC stock today: Ares Capital ends 2025 near $20 as rates and dividends drive the next move

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Ares Capital Corporation shares closed slightly lower in the last U.S. session of 2025, ending down 0.2% at $20.23. The business development company, or BDC, lends to middle-market firms and is built to pay out most of its taxable income to shareholders as dividends.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:33 PM ET — Market closed. Rigetti Computing shares fell 1.2% on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, closing at $22.15.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:27 ET — Market closed Sidus Space shares closed up about 17% at $3.14 on Wednesday, after swinging between roughly $2.50 and $4.20 on about 170 million shares traded.
