On Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $86,800–$87,200, down roughly 0.8% on the day, with prices oscillating inside a tight band as liquidity thins into the holidays.

The message from today’s headlines is consistent across market coverage: Bitcoin isn’t collapsing—but it also isn’t convincing anyone that a year-end “Santa rally” is back on the menu. A mix of ETF

December 24, 2025 — AI stocks are heading into a holiday-thinned session with a familiar mix of rocket fuel and risk: mega-cap momentum, semiconductor geopolitics, a rapidly financialized data-center buildout, and regulators probing how AI services are distributed on dominant platforms. With U.S. markets closing early on Christmas Eve (1 p.m. ET for NYSE and Nasdaq) and reopening after the holiday, investors are balancing “Santa Claus rally” optimism against headline-driven volatility that can hit harder when liquidity is thin.

Barclays PLC Stock (LSE: BARC) Near 52-Week High as Buyback Continues: News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 24, 2025)

Barclays PLC shares are ending 2025 with a distinctly bullish signature: the stock is trading around fresh 52‑week highs, while the bank keeps retiring shares through an active buyback program. On 24 December 2025, Barclays published a new “Transaction in own shares” announcement detailing another round of repurchases and cancellations—an update that matters because buybacks can steadily lift per‑share metrics (like EPS) even when headline profits aren’t exploding. TradingView Holiday trading conditions are also part of the story. With markets operating on reduced schedules and thinner liquidity around Christmas, even routine corporate updates can have an outsized impact on sentiment—especially

Cadence Bank stock is stuck at $42.11 after Huntington deal — what CADE holders watch next week

7 February 2026

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 07:02 (EST) — Market closed. Cadence Bank shares (CADE) last traded at $42.11 on Jan. 30 and have been marked inactive, leaving investors with little to watch on the ticker itself heading into Monday’s U.S. session.

Under the terms of Huntington Bancshares’ takeover, each Cadence common share was converted into the right to receive 2.475 Huntington common shares — the exchange ratio — with cash paid in lieu of any fractional share.
