NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:12 ET — Market closed Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU) shares climbed 1.3% to $16.88 on Tuesday, ending higher even as Wall Street posted a modest decline in the penultimate session of 2025.

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.

MercadoLibre stock closes higher as year-end trading thins; Fed minutes keep rates in focus

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.
