Frankfurt Stock Exchange Week Ahead: DAX Near Record Highs as Year-End Liquidity and Fed Signals Loom Large

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 8:33 a.m. ET, Market closed — Frankfurt’s stock market is off the tape this weekend, but the next open could pack more punch than the calendar suggests. With the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) and its flagship electronic venue Xetra heading into the final stretch of 2025, investors are staring at a familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, compressed trading schedules, and an outsized sensitivity to U.S. rate expectations. Germany’s blue-chip DAX last closed at 24,340.06 on December 23 (before the Christmas shutdown), within sight of its 52-week high of 24,771.34—a reminder that European equities have been

Shenzhen Stock Exchange Outlook: ChiNext, EV Battery Stocks in Focus as Beijing Signals More Proactive 2026 Policy

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:57 a.m. ET — Market closed. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) heads into its next trading session with investors balancing upbeat year-end positioning against a fresh set of policy signals and sector-specific warnings that matter disproportionately for Shenzhen’s tech- and manufacturing-heavy market. Mainland China’s markets are shut for the weekend, but the headlines have not stopped. In the past 24–48 hours, Beijing has reiterated a more “proactive” fiscal stance for 2026, regulators have rolled out tighter oversight of cross-border financing tied to overseas listings, and one of China’s best-followed auto industry voices warned of a

Silver Price Nears $79 as Record 2025 Rally Pulls in Retail Investors and Shakes Up Global Metals Markets

Silver is ending 2025 with a move few traders will forget: prices have raced to fresh records, briefly approaching the psychologically powerful $79-per-ounce level as the precious-metals complex pushes higher into year-end. On Friday, December 26, 2025, silver surged as much as 9% to a record $78.53/oz, while gold hit an all-time high of $4,549.71/oz in the same session—part of a broader surge that also lifted platinum and palladium. Reuters The rally has been so dramatic that some market watchers are now treating silver not just as a “metal trade,” but as a story about tight physical supply, tech-driven industrial

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market closed The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) heads into the final stretch of the year with momentum still intact—but with a growing “show me the earnings” demand from investors as policy headlines and macro data collide. The benchmark Shanghai Composite ended Friday at 3,963.68, up 0.1%, with combined turnover across Shanghai and Shenzhen totaling about 2.16 trillion yuan, as gains in themes such as commercial spaceflight and lithium batteries helped offset weakness elsewhere.

Tokyo Stock Exchange Preview: TOPIX Record High, Yen Intervention Watch, and What to Know Before Year-End Trading Resumes

Tokyo Stock Exchange Preview: TOPIX Record High, Yen Intervention Watch, and What to Know Before Year-End Trading Resumes

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market closed As Wall Street takes its weekend pause, attention shifts across the Pacific to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) — where Japan’s TOPIX just capped the week at a fresh record, the yen remains under an intervention cloud, and year-end liquidity is thinning fast. Friday’s Tokyo close mattered for more than bragging rights. It stitched together three threads investors will likely be juggling as cash trading resumes: (1) Japan’s equity momentum (with the TOPIX pushing to new highs), (2) the yen’s uneasy slide even after a Bank of Japan (BOJ)

The Nasdaq Composite finished the most recent session (Friday) down 20.21 points, or 0.1%, at 23,593.10, in a quiet post-Christmas trade that also saw the S&P 500 and Dow drift slightly lower.

ALGT Stock in Focus: Allegiant Travel Upgraded to Hold as Analysts Debate Valuation After a 50%+ Rally

ALGT Stock in Focus: Allegiant Travel Upgraded to Hold as Analysts Debate Valuation After a 50%+ Rally

Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) is ending 2025 in a familiar place for airline investors: caught between improving operating signals and a valuation that some analysts now say already reflects much of the turnaround. On Sunday, December 28, 2025, MarketBeat reported that Wall Street Zen upgraded Allegiant Travel from “Sell” to “Hold.” MarketBeat That call lands just days after broader market chatter about ALGT’s sharp six‑month climb and the company’s upgraded profit outlook—momentum that helped put the stock on many “top movers” lists heading into year-end. At the same time, Raymond James has recently argued for more caution—not because it

Hooters Singapore Is Closing: Clarke Quay Outlet to Shut Jan. 31, 2026 as Brand Rebuilds After Bankruptcy and “Wrong Wing Sauce” Revelation

Hooters’ long-running Clarke Quay restaurant—its first and last remaining outlet in Singapore—will close on Jan. 31, 2026, ending a three-decade run on the Singapore River that began in the mid-1990s. Mothership For locals, it’s a nostalgia-soaked footnote in the city’s ever-changing nightlife and dining map. For the brand globally, it lands in the middle of a high-stakes reset: in the U.S., Hooters has been navigating bankruptcy, a founder-backed takeover, store closures, and a back-to-basics campaign that the company’s new leadership has framed as a return to the chain’s original identity—right down to the recipe in its signature wing sauce.
