NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:26 ET — Market closed. Reddit, Inc.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:24 ET — Market closed. Oklo Inc. shares fell 3.3% on Tuesday to end at $71.62, lagging the broader market in the year’s final trading week. The slide matters now because liquidity is thin into year-end, and price swings can get sharper in high-volatility stocks when fewer investors are active. Oklo, which says it is a fission technology and nuclear fuel recycling company, has traded as a high-beta nuclear-power bet, leaving it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and any signal on funding or regulatory timelines.

Chennai gold price today: 22-carat drops Rs 3,360 per sovereign as silver slides

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:52 ET Gold prices in Chennai logged a sharp one-day fall on Tuesday, with 22-carat jewellery gold dropping 3,360 rupees per sovereign to 100,800 rupees, Dinamalar reported. The slide matters because Chennai is a key jewellery market in India, where families routinely track daily rates for purchases and savings. The local reports also said retail prices had been scaling new highs through 2025, raising the stakes for sudden pullbacks. The Chennai move comes as precious metals have swung sharply into year-end, with traders digesting record highs, profit-taking and fresh geopolitical headlines. Dinamalar said the fall

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:22 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares fell 0.7% to $164.34 on Tuesday, tracking a soft finish for U.S. equities into the final day of the year. The pullback matters now because year-end flows can exaggerate moves in stocks tied to big themes such as data-center expansion, especially when liquidity is thin. Rate expectations also tend to loom larger late in the year as investors reset allocations for 2026. Reuters+1 Vertiv sells power and cooling equipment used in data centers, a corner of the market that has drawn heavy attention as companies build

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:48 ET — Market closed MercadoLibre Inc (MELI) shares closed up 0.3% at $2,020.88 on Tuesday, after trading between $1,997.46 and $2,028.95. Volume was about 294,000 shares. The muted move mattered because liquidity has been thin into the year-end, and small shifts in rate expectations can swing the prices of higher-growth stocks. Investors often adjust what they are willing to pay for future earnings when interest rates move. That rate sensitivity stayed front and center after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting showed officials divided on how much more to cut in 2026.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 8:44 PM ET — Market closed Coca-Cola shares edged lower on Tuesday, closing down 0.13% at $70.07, as investors kept positions tight heading into the New Year holiday. Yahoo Finance The muted move matters because Coca-Cola is a bellwether “consumer staples” name — a defensive corner of the market that tends to be sensitive to shifts in interest-rate expectations and year-end portfolio rebalancing. Holiday-thin trading across Wall Street kept price action narrow.

The stock ranged from $201.68 to $204.20, with about 2.95 million shares changing hands.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:17 ET — Market closed Linde plc shares closed up about 0.4% on Tuesday at $428.36. The Nasdaq-listed industrial gases maker traded between $423.31 and $429.46, with about 1.5 million shares changing hands. The muted move matters now because year-end positioning has thinned liquidity, making even small shifts in rates and risk appetite show up quickly in large-cap stocks.

IonQ stock steadies after South Korea 100-qubit Tempo deal as traders eye $45 level

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:25 ET — Market closed. IonQ Inc shares were last up about 0.2% at $45.31 after U.S. markets closed on Tuesday, as investors weighed a newly detailed system delivery agreement in South Korea. More than 13.5 million shares changed hands and the stock traded between $45.10 and $47.40. The agreement lands at a sensitive moment for the quantum computing trade.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:23 ET — Market closed. Newmont Corp (NEM) shares closed up about 2% on Tuesday at $101.86, even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended modestly lower in holiday-thin trade. Reuters The move matters heading into the final session of 2025 because Newmont’s stock remains tightly tethered to bullion, and gold has been whipping around on year-end position changes. That volatility has forced fast shifts in risk appetite across the mining sector, with miners often moving more than the metal itself as investors reset exposure.
