IBEX 35 Week Ahead: Spain’s Bolsa de Madrid Outlook After Inditex Record, Naturgy Shock and ECB Countdown (Updated Dec 14, 2025)

Comet 3I/ATLAS: Green-Glowing Interstellar Visitor Nears Its Closest Earth Pass on Dec. 19, 2025

Updated: December 14, 2025 A rare messenger from another star system is sliding through our solar system right now—and it’s putting on a subtle but scientifically rich show. Comet 3I/ATLAS (also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS)) is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed inside our solar system. Over the last several days, fresh reporting and new datasets have sharpened the picture: the comet’s coma has taken on a faint green glow, and X-ray observatories are now seeing the interaction between its escaping gases and the solar wind—an unusual multiwavelength campaign that’s turning 3I/ATLAS into one of the most intensively monitored comets of 2025.

Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 (markets closed)Tickers: Rio Tinto plc (LSE: RIO) / Rio Tinto ADR (NYSE: RIO) Rio Tinto’s story right now is basically a three-engine aircraft flying through mixed weather: iron ore (still the biggest engine) is running steadily but facing demand jitters, copper is screaming higher on a global electrification + AI boom, and aluminium/lithium sits in the middle—helped by stronger aluminium pricing and an increasingly strategic (but still volatile) lithium build-out. That mix mattered in the week ending Friday, 12 December 2025, when Rio Tinto shares hovered near a one‑year high after management laid out a

Taiwan Stock Exchange Week Ahead: TAIEX Outlook for Dec. 15–19, 2025 as AI Rally, Central Bank Decision and Micron Earnings Take Center Stage

Taiwan’s stock market heads into the third week of December with momentum still intact—but with more cross-currents than the index’s steady climb might suggest.
