Crypto This Week & Week Ahead (Dec. 13, 2025): Bitcoin Near $90K as U.S. Bank Charters, a Staked Ethereum ETF Filing, and Tokenization Headlines Reshape the Market

Updated today: Saturday, December 13, 2025 Bitcoin is heading into the weekend holding a familiar line: the $90,000 area.

NatWest Group Plc Stock (NWG): Share Price, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and Outlook (Updated 13 December 2025)

NatWest Group Plc (LSE: NWG) is trading near 2025 highs as buybacks continue, Cushon sale plans take shape, and UK rate-cut expectations shift bank earnings forecasts.

As of the latest London close (Friday, 12 December 2025), NatWest shares finished at £6.12, down 1.35% on the day and still just a short step below the £6.41 52‑week high hit earlier this month.

Anglo American plc shares (LSE: AAL; commonly quoted as AAL.L) head into the weekend with investors focused on one dominating storyline: the proposed “merger of equals” with Canada’s Teck Resources, a deal designed to reshape Anglo American into a far more copper‑heavy company at a moment when copper has become the metal of choice for both the energy transition and the AI-era buildout of power-hungry data centers.

Stellantis stock rattled by $26.5 billion EV reset and dividend halt ahead of Monday trade

7 February 2026
Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed. Stellantis shares (STLA) closed at $7.28 in New York on Friday, down 23.8%, after the Jeep maker unveiled a €22.2 billion ($26.5 billion) hit tied to scaling back electric-vehicle plans and said it would not pay a dividend in 2026. The selloff matters going into next week because it forces a quick rethink on cash and capital returns at a company investors once treated as a high-yield play.
