NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:07 ET Nio’s U.S.-listed shares climbed nearly 5% on Monday and were indicated higher on Tuesday after the Chinese electric-vehicle maker’s CEO said fourth-quarter vehicle sales should exceed 30 billion yuan ($4.27 billion).

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:17 ET — Regular session Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O) slipped in morning trading on Tuesday, down $1.27, or about 0.7%, at $182.91.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:03 ET — Regular session XRP was little changed on Tuesday morning, trading at about $1.87, as investors headed into the final days of the year with crypto volumes still subdued.
