Shanghai Stock Exchange Today: Shanghai Composite Holds Near 3,964 as China Data, Policy Signals, and 2026 Forecasts Take Center Stage

NEW YORK (8:02 a.m. ET, Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025) — With Wall Street closed for the weekend and year-end positioning in full swing, investor attention is drifting back toward Asia’s next opening bell. The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) is closed right now—it’s Saturday in both New York and Shanghai—but China’s market narrative is very much “open,” shaped by a fresh macro data jolt, evolving policy guidance from Beijing, and a growing stack of 2026 outlook calls from global strategists. On Friday, mainland equities ended the week modestly higher, leaving the Shanghai Composite Index near 3,963.68, a level that some market

Tokyo Stock Exchange Outlook: Nikkei 225 Holds 50,750 as BOJ Rate Path, Yen Volatility, and Year‑End Holidays Set Up the Next Session

As of 7:57 a.m. in New York (ET) on Saturday, December 27, 2025, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is closed (it’s Saturday night in Tokyo). JPX That timing matters because Japan’s market is heading into a year-end stretch where liquidity thins, macro headlines can move prices faster than usual, and the calendar itself becomes a catalyst. Heading into the weekend, Japan’s benchmarks were still leaning bullish: the Nikkei 225 closed at 50,750.39 (+0.68%) on Friday, December 26.

S&P 500 Nears 7,000 as Santa Claus Rally Window Opens: Dow and Nasdaq Cap Strong 2025 With Fed Minutes Ahead

U.S. stocks headed into the final stretch of 2025 clinging to record territory—an unusually calm setup for a week that’s famous for thin trading, year-end portfolio adjustments, and a seasonal pattern investors watch closely: the “Santa Claus rally.” On Friday, December 26, Wall Street finished essentially flat after a multi-session climb, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at 48,710.97, the S&P 500 at 6,929.94, and the Nasdaq Composite at 23,593.10. The moves were tiny—down fractions of a percent—but the bigger story was the calendar: the market is now inside the Santa Claus rally window and just about 1% away

London Stock Exchange Update: FTSE 100 Near Record Highs After a Strong 2025 — What to Watch When Trading Reopens

As of 7:53 a.m. ET in New York on Saturday, December 27, 2025, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) is closed for the weekend — and it’s also coming off the Christmas holiday break. That timing matters, because the LSE is heading into a classic “thin liquidity” stretch: fewer traders at their desks, wider bid–ask spreads, and price moves that can look louder than the underlying news. The next London session is set to reopen at 8:00 a.m. London time on Monday, December 29, according to the exchange’s own market status display.

Nasdaq With just a few trading days left in 2025, the Nasdaq story is less about one dramatic headline and more about a familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, index levels near records, AI/mega-cap leadership, and a market that’s already pricing in a lot of “good news” for 2026.

New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Weekend Outlook: S&P 500 Near 7,000 as Fed Minutes Loom and Year-End Trading Enters the Final Stretch

NEW YORK — As of 7:52 a.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025, the New York Stock Exchange is closed, leaving investors with a classic “weekend gap” moment: plenty of headlines, no fresh price discovery. That pause comes after Wall Street finished Friday’s post-Christmas session almost unchanged and close to all-time highs, a quiet landing that still left the major U.S. benchmarks up solidly for the week — and strongly positive for the year.
