Updated Sunday, 14 December 2025. Markets are closed today; the latest London close referenced below is Friday, 12 December 2025.

At Friday’s close (12 December), Barclays traded around 445p in London and was up about 2.3% over the past week and ~64% over the past year, leaving it within striking distance of its 52‑week high near 455p.

Updated: Dec. 14, 2025 Canada’s stock market heads into the new week with the S&P/TSX Composite still near record territory—but with an important reality check right around the corner: inflation data.

ASX 200 Week Ahead: RBA Hawkish Hold Meets Fed Rate Cut as Australian Shares Head Into a High-Stakes Data Week (15–19 Dec 2025)

Updated: Sunday, 14 December 2025 Australia’s share market is heading into the second-last full trading week before Christmas with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a more hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) at home and a fresh US Federal Reserve rate cut offshore. The result is a market that finished last week stronger overall—but with sharp sector divergence that’s likely to remain the defining feature of the week ahead. TradingView+2ig.com+2 The S&P/ASX 200 ended Friday, 12 December, at 8,697.3, after a 105-point (+1.23%) surge on the day and a 0.7% weekly gain—its third straight weekly rise.

Germany Stock Market Week Ahead: DAX Outlook on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange After the Fed Cut, ECB Decision and Key German Data (Updated 14.12.2025)

Frankfurt heads into the new week with the DAX balancing on a familiar year-end tightrope: global rate-cut optimism has improved risk appetite, but rising European bond yields and renewed debate about AI-driven equity valuations are keeping traders selective. On Friday, 12 December 2025, Germany’s benchmark index finished at 24,186.49, ending the session lower as risk sentiment cooled into the weekend. RTTNews Even so, several weekly summaries put the DAX modestly higher on the week (around +0.7%)—a gain built on mid-week central-bank relief that was later tested by a fresh wave of “AI bubble” jitters.

China Stock Market Week Ahead (Dec 15–19, 2025): Shanghai & Shenzhen Outlook After Beijing’s 2026 Policy Signals

Updated: December 14, 2025 Mainland China’s stock market heads into the new week with a familiar tug-of-war: supportive policy messaging versus still-stubborn evidence of weak domestic demand—especially in property and household credit.

Tokyo Stock Exchange Week Ahead: Nikkei 225, Topix brace for BOJ rate hike and CPI after record highs (Updated Dec 14, 2025)

Tokyo stocks head into the new week on a fragile—but still constructive—footing: the broader Topix has just logged a record closing high, yet sentiment is being tugged in two directions by (1) growing conviction that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will raise rates this week and (2) renewed anxiety that the global AI trade is running into a profitability “reality check.” By Friday’s close (Dec. 12), the Nikkei 225 ended at 50,836.55 and the Topix finished at 3,423.83, a record closing highfor the broader index.

Updated: Sunday, December 14, 2025 (markets closed; prices reflect the most recent close).
