Vanguard Says Flip the 60/40 Portfolio for 2026: Bonds Back, AI Risks Rising

Vanguard Says Flip the 60/40 Portfolio for 2026: Bonds Back, AI Risks Rising

December 25, 2025 — The classic 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has long been the shorthand for “balanced” investing. But heading into 2026, one of the world’s most influential asset managers is pushing a noticeably different message: the next decade may reward a more bond-heavy mix—not because growth is collapsing, but because markets are pricing in a lot of good news, especially in U.S. mega-cap tech and AI. The timing is striking. With the S&P 500 closing at a record high on Christmas Eve and investors looking ahead to 2026, the debate over whether AI enthusiasm is “the new

Garmin Autoland Makes Aviation History as King Air Lands Itself in Colorado After Pressurization Emergency

BROOMFIELD, Colo. (Dec. 25, 2025) — A twin‑engine Beechcraft Super King Air 200 touched down at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) near Denver with a twist that’s rippling across aviation: the airplane effectively landed itself using Garmin’s Emergency Autoland technology, in what Garmin and multiple aviation outlets describe as the first confirmed real‑world start‑to‑finish activation of the system during an actual emergency. ABC News While early air‑traffic audio and automated radio calls referenced “pilot incapacitation,” the aircraft’s operator later clarified that both pilots remained conscious and deliberately chose to let the automation complete the landing after an abrupt pressurization problem—an

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc stock (London Stock Exchange: RKT) heads into the Christmas break near multi-month highs, with investors juggling three big themes: fresh broker calls (including a new Santander “Outperform” initiation), an active share buyback and share-cancellation programme, and the approaching end‑December deadline for the Essential Home divestment that could unlock a major capital return.

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (LSE: RR.) ends 2025 with its share price still hovering close to record territory—despite the kind of thin, holiday-shortened trading that can make even big-cap moves look a little surreal.

Anglo American plc Stock (AAL.L) News Today: Teck Merger Countdown, Copper Price Tailwinds, and Analyst Forecasts (25 December 2025)

Anglo American plc stock heads into the final week of 2025 with a very specific cocktail of investor emotions: holiday-thin trading, record copper prices, and the looming reality of a mega-merger that could rewrite the company’s identity from diversified miner to copper-heavy “critical minerals” champion. On Christmas Eve (24 December 2025)—the last London trading session before markets shut for Christmas—Anglo American shares rose 0.63% to £30.12 (about 3,012p), outperforming a modestly weaker FTSE 100 session. The move came on low volume (roughly 741k shares, far below the 50‑day average cited in market data), and left the stock sitting just 1.28%

Rio Tinto plc stock is ending 2025 with momentum—and with a long list of catalysts investors are trying to price in: record copper prices, a strategy reset under CEO Simon Trott, expanding lithium ambitions after a major acquisition, and fresh operational guidance stretching into 2026. Add in a legal dispute tied to sanctions and some governance constraints that affect buybacks, and Rio’s year-end story becomes more than “iron ore miner does iron ore things.” Because December 25 is a market holiday in many regions, the most recent actionable pricing and news flow largely reflects Christmas Eve trading and the final
