NEW YORK — 26.12.2025 (10:14 a.m. EST) — Global stock markets were broadly steady to modestly higher on Friday as investors returned from the Christmas holiday to a session defined by thin liquidity, year-end positioning, and a continued focus on the 2026 interest-rate path.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose about 0.7%, while mainland China edged higher.

Dow Jones Today (26.12.2025): DJIA Hovers Near 48,700 in Thin Post‑Christmas Trading as Fed-Cut Bets Stay in Focus

NEW YORK — 26.12.2025 (10:14 a.m. EST) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was little changed in late-morning trade Friday as U.S. equities digested a quiet, low-volume “bridge” session following the Christmas holiday.

Oracle Stock Heads for Worst Quarter Since 2001 as AI Spending Fears Collide With OpenAI, TikTok, and Hollywood Bets

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is closing out 2025 with the kind of volatility normally reserved for pure-play AI startups, not a 47-year-old enterprise software heavyweight. Shares are down about 30% so far this quarter, putting the stock on pace for its steepest quarterly decline since 2001, according to market reporting that tracked the move against Oracle’s early-2000s drawdowns. StockAnalysis The selloff has been fueled by a single, recurring question: Can Oracle finance—and execute—an AI data-center buildout big enough to meet demand without crushing its cash flow and balance sheet? That concern has only intensified as Oracle’s ambitions expand beyond the cloud.
