TORONTO, Dec. 23, 2025 — Canada’s stock market is heading into a holiday-shortened stretch to close out 2025, with reduced hours on Christmas Eve and full closures for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Turkey Sinkholes Crisis: Konya Basin Nears 700 Collapses as Drought and Groundwater Pumping Hit the Farming Heartland

KONYA, Türkiye — December 23, 2025 — In the vast, wheat-and-corn country of central Türkiye, farmers are staring at a new kind of weather report: the ground itself.

Bitcoin Price Today at 1:38 (Dec. 23, 2025): BTC Holds Near $88K as ETF Outflows, Holiday Liquidity and Options Risk Shape the Outlook

Dec. 23, 2025 — Bitcoin is ending the year with a familiar pattern: sharp intraday swings, fading follow-through, and traders watching the same few catalysts on repeat. At 01:38 UTC on December 23, BTC was changing hands at about $88,511 (based on 1‑day market pricing data, sampled and interpolated around that timestamp).
