Gold price today: GLD slips after hours as CME margin hike adds to year-end volatility

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:30 ET — After-hours Gold-linked exchange-traded funds eased in U.S. after-hours trading on Wednesday as bullion drifted lower into the final hours of the year. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) was down 0.6% at $396.31. The late dip matters because gold has become one of 2025’s defining trades, and the last week has seen unusually sharp swings. A fresh increase in futures margin requirements — the cash collateral traders must post to hold leveraged positions — has added to the pressure.

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow slide to end 2025 as traders reset for 2026

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:32 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s major indexes ended lower on Wednesday in thin New Year’s Eve trading, but still booked double-digit gains for 2025. The S&P 500 fell 0.74%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.76% and the Dow slipped 0.63%. U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday.

JPMorgan stock slips on final trading day of 2025 as banks lag; what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) shares were down about 0.3% at $322.22 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a softer finish in the regular session. The stock traded between $322.13 and $324.82 on the day. The year-end dip mattered less for the biggest U.S. bank than what comes next: interest-rate expectations and the opening stretch of the 2026 economic calendar. Banks tend to track the bond market because shifts in rates can change loan margins and funding costs. JPMorgan is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year results on Tuesday, Jan. 13,

Boeing stock dips after hours as Pentagon awards $2.7 billion Apache support contract

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:20 PM ET — After-hours Boeing shares slipped in after-hours trading on Wednesday after a Pentagon contracts notice showed the company won an Army award worth about $2.7 billion tied to Apache helicopter support. Boeing stock was down about 0.6% at $217.12. U.S. Department of War The latest award matters because Boeing is leaning on steadier defense work to balance a still-scrutinized commercial jet business.

AppLovin stock falls nearly 3% into year-end as tech slide hits high-growth names

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:17 ET — After-hours AppLovin Corp shares fell 2.9% on Wednesday to $673.43, extending a late-December pullback on the final trading day of 2025. The stock traded between $698.79 and $672.29, with about 1.5 million shares changing hands, according to Investing.com data. Investing.com The slide came as Wall Street ended the year’s last session lower in holiday-thinned markets, with the S&P 500 down 0.74% and the Nasdaq off 0.76%.

Eli Lilly stock dips after hours as Jardiance, Mounjaro price-cut headlines land into 2026

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:16 ET — After-hours Eli Lilly and Co (LLY) shares slipped in after-hours trading on Wednesday. The stock was down about 0.5% at $1,074.68, after trading between $1,074.39 and $1,083.25 during the day on roughly 1.5 million shares. Drug pricing has moved back to the center of the investment case for large-cap pharmaceuticals as Washington pushes for lower costs and companies adjust prices in overseas growth markets. For Lilly, price assumptions matter because investors have priced in years of strong growth from its GLP‑1 franchise, a hormone-based drug class used for diabetes and weight loss.

UnitedHealth stock slips into year-end close — what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:12 ET — After-hours UnitedHealth Group Inc shares were down $2.03, or 0.6%, at $330.11 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after moving between $329.46 and $333.24 in the regular session. About 4.2 million shares changed hands. The pullback matters because investors are entering 2026 focused on two levers that can swing health-insurer earnings quickly: medical-cost trends and the pace of regulatory scrutiny tied to government-funded programs. UnitedHealth has been a bellwether for managed care. When sentiment shifts on Medicare and Medicaid oversight, the stock often trades less on day-to-day news and more on expectations for

CoreWeave stock slides after-hours as insider sale filing keeps pressure on CRWV

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:04 ET — After-hours CoreWeave shares fell 3.1% to $71.61 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after sliding in the regular session and swinging between $70.43 and $74.30 during the day. The pullback matters because CoreWeave has been a heavily watched “AI infrastructure” trade, where sentiment can turn quickly on any sign insiders are cashing out or that expansion plans will require fresh funding. It also comes after the company cut its annual revenue forecast in November, citing data center delays, a setback that sharpened investor focus on execution in a business that depends on rapid

Coinbase stock drops after hours as bitcoin heads for first annual loss since 2022

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:04 PM ET — After-hours Coinbase Global shares slid 2.4% to $226.14 in after-hours trading on Wednesday. The move matters because Coinbase’s results are closely tied to crypto trading activity. When investors trade less, exchanges collect fewer transaction fees. Crypto sentiment turned cautious into year-end as bitcoin headed for its first annual loss since 2022, down more than 6% for 2025, Reuters reported. Bitcoin hit a record above $126,000 in October but lost momentum after U.S. tariff and export-control headlines sparked a sharp selloff and more than $19 billion of forced liquidations across leveraged positions,

Ondas stock jumps after $10 million order update; insider sale notices hit SEC

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:00 ET — After-hours Ondas Holdings Inc. shares climbed in after-hours trading on Wednesday after the company announced new purchase orders for its autonomous systems portfolio. The update matters because order flow is one of the clearest near-term signals for small defense-technology suppliers that are still proving repeatable demand. Investors are looking for contract wins that can translate into shipments and revenue over the next few quarters. Ondas said the roughly $10 million in new orders spans counter-UAS systems, integrated autonomous drone systems and robotic ground platforms. Counter-UAS, short for counter-unmanned aircraft systems, refers to
