NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:10 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. technology stocks head into the final three trading days of 2025 with a familiar tug-of-war: bullish momentum in the major indexes and AI-driven megacaps on one side, and renewed scrutiny of valuations and AI infrastructure spending on the other. With U.S. equity markets shut for the weekend, attention shifts to Sunday evening index futures and to the catalysts waiting in the holiday-thinned week ahead—most notably Federal Reserve meeting minutes and a handful of key economic releases. Stock index futures tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 resume trading

Data Center Stocks Watch: Nvidia Headlines, Power-Grid Crunch, and Fed Minutes in Focus Before the Next Wall Street Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:03 p.m. ET — Market closed Data center stocks are heading into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar set of tailwinds—and a growing list of real-world constraints investors can’t ignore. The AI buildout that helped power much of this year’s equity gains remains the dominant demand driver for everything from GPUs and networking gear to cooling systems and “four walls” colocation space. But as Wall Street heads into a holiday-shortened week, thin liquidity, year-end positioning, and the market’s next read on the Federal Reserve are likely to decide whether the sector starts

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:59 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. stock exchanges are shut for the weekend, leaving space and defense investors to parse a dense batch of late-week headlines and year-end macro signals before trading resumes Monday morning. The New York Stock Exchange’s core trading session runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, meaning the next real “price discovery” window for aerospace and defense names arrives with Monday’s open—likely in thin, end-of-year liquidity where headlines can move stocks faster than fundamentals.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:45 p.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). Quantum computing stocks are heading into the final trading week of the year with a familiar mix of promise and turbulence—exactly the kind of setup that can amplify both opportunity and risk when liquidity is thin. In the most recent regular session (Friday), several of the best-known “pure-play” quantum names posted sharp declines even as the broader U.S. market largely drifted in quiet, post-holiday trade.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:42 PM ET — Market Closed U.S. equity markets are closed Sunday, leaving investors in rare metals stocks—from rare earths and graphite to lithium, antimony, silver, and platinum group metals—to digest a headline-heavy stretch that reshaped the near-term setup for the next trading session.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:36 p.m. ET — Market closed Natural gas stocks are heading into Monday’s U.S. trading session with a familiar winter setup: a fast-changing weather outlook colliding with record-high production, strong LNG feedgas demand, and a key U.S. government storage report that’s been pushed into the start of the week.
