NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:44 ET — After-hours Mastercard Incorporated shares slipped 0.1% to $577.42 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, when stocks change hands after the 4 p.m. ET close.

India seeks $30 billion from Reliance, BP over KG-D6 gas output as Reliance cites $247 million claimNEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:13 ET

India is seeking more than $30 billion in compensation from Reliance Industries and its partner BP in a long-running dispute over offshore gas production, people familiar with the matter said. Reliance said there was no $30 billion claim against it and BP. (https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/india-claims-30-billion-reliance-industries-bp-underproduction-gas-field-sources-2025-12-29/) The stakes are high for one of India’s biggest listed companies and a major foreign investor in its upstream sector. The case is also being closely watched because it tests how India enforces production-sharing contracts used to develop offshore resources. A three-member tribunal has been hearing the dispute since 2016, people familiar with the proceedings said. Final

P&G stock dips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:30 ET — After-hours Procter & Gamble shares were last down about 0.3% at $144.05 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, after trading in a narrow $143.58-$144.60 range during the session.

The Dow fell 0.2%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.14% and the Nasdaq lost 0.23%, Reuters reported. Reuters Why it matters now: late-December trading can exaggerate sector rotations because big investors often step back and liquidity thins. The Fed minutes underscored a live

GE Aerospace stock barely moves after Fed minutes; next catalyst is Jan. 22 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:23 ET — After-hours GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) shares closed up 0.1% on Tuesday at $311.79 and were unchanged in after-hours trading, after moving between $310.66 and $312.93 during the session. StockAnalysis The jet-engine maker edged higher as Wall Street ended slightly lower in thin, year-end trading after investors parsed Federal Reserve minutes. “At the end of the day, solid corporate profits can make up for a lot of sins,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group. Reuters That backdrop matters for GE now because rate expectations feed directly into valuations for industrial

Salesforce stock (CRM) slips after-hours as year-end tech trade cools and Fed minutes bite

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:23 ET — After-hours Salesforce (CRM) shares slipped 0.1% in after-hours trading on Tuesday to $265.92. The stock opened at $266.66 and traded between $265.38 and $268.21 during the regular session, with volume around 3.3 million shares. The late-day drift matters because year-end trading is thin, and small orders can move large-cap software names more than usual. With 2026 positioning under way, investors are quick to trim risk when the tape softens. Salesforce sits at the intersection of two themes that have dominated markets into the close of 2025: interest-rate expectations and a race to

Russia’s nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles appear in Belarus as Ukraine peace talks tighten

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:13 ET Russia on Tuesday released video of what it said was the deployment of its nuclear-capable hypersonic Oreshnik missile system in neighbouring Belarus, placing the weapon on combat duty for the first time. Reuters Why it matters now is geography. Belarus borders Ukraine and NATO members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, and the move would bring Russian missiles closer to European targets. The announcement also lands as Washington presses Moscow and Kyiv to close a deal to end the war, with both sides still at odds over territorial control and post-war security guarantees.

American adds time to DFW flights, reshapes hub banks as storms squeeze U.S. travel

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:14 ET American Airlines said it is revamping its Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport hub by adding more scheduled time to flights and expanding the number of daily arrival-and-departure banks to 13 starting in April. “Our approach at our largest and most impactful hub must also evolve,” Jim Moses, senior vice president of DFW operations, said in a statement. The timing matters because airlines are trying to stabilize networks strained by winter weather and peak demand ahead of New Year’s travel. Winter Storm Ezra delayed nearly 6,000 U.S. flights and canceled 751 as of Monday afternoon,

Bank of America stock today: BAC drifts lower as Fed minutes keep rate path in focus

Bank of America stock today: BAC drifts lower as Fed minutes keep rate path in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 18:13 ET — After-hours. Bank of America shares slipped 0.1% in Tuesday’s regular session and held near $55.28 in after-hours trading. The stock traded between $55.18 and $55.64, with about 17.4 million shares changing hands. That matters now because the interest-rate outlook feeds directly into net interest income — what a bank earns on loans minus what it pays on deposits. When rates fall, that spread can narrow if deposit costs do not drop as quickly as loan yields. Bond markets are also recalibrating for 2026 after the Federal Reserve cut rates by 75 basis

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:52 ET — After-hours Lam Research shares were last down 1.2% at $173.78 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, after ranging between $173.51 and $177.26 in the regular session.

Citigroup stock slides after $1.2 billion Russia-exit hit; investors eye Jan. 14 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 5:35 PM ET — After-hours Citigroup shares fell on Tuesday after the bank disclosed that selling its remaining Russia business will trigger a roughly $1.2 billion pre-tax loss. Reuters The update lands days before the year ends and weeks ahead of Citi’s fourth-quarter results, when investors will see the impact of the accounting charge and any knock-on effects on capital and expenses. Reuters Citi said the loss is “largely related to the currency translation adjustment,” a bookkeeping line that records gains or losses when a foreign unit’s accounts are converted into U.S. dollars.

Natural gas price today: UNG stock ticks up after hours as Henry Hub futures settle below $4

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:47 ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas futures settled lower on Tuesday as warmer early-January forecasts cooled demand expectations, while the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) ETF was modestly higher in after-hours trading. The price action matters now because gas markets are entering the core winter heating period, when small changes in temperature outlooks can quickly swing demand and prices. Those swings spill into popular natural-gas ETFs such as UNG, which many investors use as a stock-like proxy for gas futures. A U.S. government storage report released Monday showed working gas in storage fell

AI stocks today: Meta rises on Manus buy as Nvidia slips and Fed minutes keep rates in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:48 ET — After-hours Meta Platforms rose on Tuesday after the Facebook owner said it would acquire Chinese-founded artificial intelligence startup Manus, keeping the spotlight on “agent” software that can act on a user’s behalf. The move matters now because Big Tech’s AI spending cycle is shifting beyond chatbots toward tools designed to do work, not just answer questions. Deals and funding rounds are one way companies try to buy speed in a crowded market. It also lands into year-end positioning, when light volumes can exaggerate moves and investors rebalance away from crowded winners. Rate

Gold price stock today: GLD steadies after wild swing as Fed minutes, margin hike keep traders cautious

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Gold prices rebounded on Tuesday, helping gold-linked stocks hold firmer in U.S. after-hours trading after a sharp two-day swing. The timing matters. Year-end liquidity is thin, and that has made price moves look bigger and faster than many traders expected. Investors are also repricing the path for U.S. interest rates after the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes highlighted divisions on policy, keeping the dollar and yields in focus. The SPDR Gold Shares exchange-traded fund (ETF) — a stock-like fund backed by physical bullion — was up 0.1% at $398.89 in late

XRP price today: Ripple token steadies near $1.87 as Fed minutes and year-end trade set the tone

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:44 ET — After-hours XRP was trading around $1.87 on Tuesday evening, up about 1.2% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. CoinMarketCap The token, associated with payments-focused blockchain company Ripple, has struggled to regain traction into year-end, leaving it sensitive to shifts in broader risk sentiment and U.S. interest-rate expectations. That matters now because markets are moving into the final trading days of 2025 with thinner liquidity than usual, which can amplify swings. Investors were also parsing fresh Federal Reserve minutes for clues on how quickly policymakers may ease in 2026. Reuters

Bitcoin price stock today: BTC ticks up near $88,000 as Fed minutes and ETF flows set the tone

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:43 ET — After-hours Bitcoin edged higher on Tuesday as investors weighed U.S. interest-rate signals and year-end positioning, with crypto-linked stocks trading mixed after Wall Street’s regular session ended. Reuters The modest move matters now because liquidity is thin into the final days of the year, which can exaggerate price swings across risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Analysts have cautioned against over-reading late-December moves. Reuters Markets were also digesting the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes, which underscored debate inside the central bank about the path for policy in 2026 after a quarter-point rate cut earlier this

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:42 ET — After-hours Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a silver-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF), were last up $2.99 at $68.98 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The move followed a bounce in silver prices after a violent, year-end swing that rattled positioning across precious metals. Spot silver hit a record $83.62 an ounce on Monday before registering its biggest daily drop since August 2020. Reuters+1 That matters now because tighter trading conditions can amplify moves in a market that has already been surging. CME said in a clearing advisory that updated “performance bond” (margin) requirements

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:41 ET — After-hours The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Tuesday slightly lower as investors parsed Federal Reserve minutes and trimmed exposure into year-end. The blue-chip index fell 94.87 points, or 0.2%, to 48,367.06. Reuters The soft finish comes with one more U.S. trading session left in 2025, a period when reduced liquidity can magnify small shifts in positioning. For the Dow, which is price-weighted, moves in higher-priced components can have an outsized impact on the index. Trading stayed subdued in a holiday-thinned market, with many investors already winding down activity for the year, the
