Silver Price Today (Dec. 21, 2025): XAG/USD Holds Near $67 After Record Highs—Latest News, Forecasts, and Key Levels to Watch

Silver is closing out 2025 with the kind of momentum that forces both bulls and bears to pay attention. As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, the silver price (XAG/USD) is hovering around the $67-per-ounce area after a record-setting surge late last week—powered by a mix of investment flows, tight supply conditions, and an industrial demand narrative that keeps getting louder. Reuters+1 But this is also the point in a parabolic move where markets tend to change character: liquidity thins into the holidays, positioning gets crowded, and even small headlines can trigger outsized swings. Several analysts publishing today warn that a

Gold Price Today (Dec. 21, 2025): XAU/USD Near $4,350 as Fed “Pause” Talk Meets $5,000 Forecasts for 2026

Gold is ending 2025 where it spent much of the year: near record territory, with investors debating whether the next move is a breakout—or a breath. As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, live spot pricing put gold around $4,352/oz, keeping the metal within striking distance of its 2025 record near $4,381/oz and reinforcing the narrative that bullion has shifted from a “rate-cut trade” into a structural portfolio asset for central banks and investors alike. JM Bullion+2Reuters+2 What makes today’s setup especially interesting is the collision of three powerful themes: fresh signals that the Federal Reserve could keep rates steady for

US Stock Market Outlook (Dec. 21, 2025): S&P 500 Eyes a Santa Rally as Fed Signals, AI Jitters, and GDP Data Shape Year-End Trading

NEW YORK — The U.S. stock market heads into the final holiday-shortened stretch of 2025 with investors balancing two competing realities: a strong year for major indexes, and a choppier, more skeptical tone beneath the surface as Wall Street debates the durability of the AI-led boom and the next leg of Federal Reserve policy. On Friday’s close (the last full session before Sunday’s outlook pieces), the S&P 500 finished at 6,834.50, the Nasdaq Composite at 23,307.62, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 48,134.89. Stocks ended the day higher—helped by a rebound in technology—while the week overall was mixed: the

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Outlook: Santa Rally Watch, Fed Signals, and Key Levels After 48,134 Close (Dec. 21, 2025)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is heading into the Christmas trading week with a familiar end‑of‑year mix: upbeat annual performance, a choppy December tape, and a market narrative that keeps pivoting between “Santa rally” optimism and late‑cycle caution. The Dow last closed at 48,134.89 on Friday, finishing the day higher but ending the week modestly lower as investors weighed fresh inflation data, AI‑linked volatility, and a Federal Reserve outlook that’s becoming more contested inside the central bank itself.

Accenture Earnings Beat as Advanced AI Bookings Hit $2.2 Billion—But 2026 Outlook Keeps Wall Street Cautious

Accenture’s latest earnings update is a snapshot of where enterprise AI is right now: real budgets, real contracts, and increasingly “baked in” to broader transformation work—yet still paired with investor anxiety about what AI could automate and where spending is tightening. As of December 21, 2025, the consulting and IT services giant is coming off a quarter where it beat revenue expectations, posted strong new bookings, and highlighted a surge in advanced AI demand—while also acknowledging uneven public-sector momentum and offering a second-quarter revenue outlook that landed a touch below what analysts were modeling.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) Stock Week Ahead: Drug-Pricing Politics, Talc Verdicts, and Fresh FDA Wins Set the Tone (Dec 22–26, 2025)

As the market heads into a Christmas-shortened trading week, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is entering the final stretch of 2025 with an unusually headline-heavy mix of catalysts: U.S. drug-pricing negotiations tied to the White House, new talc-related jury verdicts, and a string of FDA and clinical updates that reinforce the company’s longer-term growth narrative. As of the latest close (Friday, December 19, 2025), JNJ ended around $206/share, keeping the stock in a tight, late-year range while investors weigh whether policy risk and litigation uncertainty outweigh the steadier benefits of new product momentum and “defensive” healthcare positioning.

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) is heading into a holiday-shortened trading week with two big forces likely to drive near-term price action: oil-market volatility and fresh investor digestion of Exxon’s upgraded 2030 plan.

Salesforce (CRM) Stock Week Ahead: Qualified Acquisition, Agentforce Meets ChatGPT, and Analyst Price Targets to Watch (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE: CRM) heads into the Christmas holiday week with a busy backdrop for investors: fresh product distribution news for its Agentforce platform, a newly announced acquisition aimed at “agentic” marketing, and a market calendar that’s likely to amplify day-to-day volatility simply because liquidity is thinner than usual. As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, the latest available trade data puts Salesforce stock around $259.91, following Friday’s (Dec. 19) close.

The stock last traded around $114.36 after Friday’s close, setting the stage for a holiday-shortened week that can amplify moves—up or down—because liquidity and volume are typically thinner.
