Coinbase stock dips after Needham cuts target to $290 on weak crypto volumes

Coinbase stock dips after Needham cuts target to $290 on weak crypto volumes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:54 ET — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares were down 0.1% at $233.47 on Tuesday after Needham cut its price target on the crypto exchange operator, citing continued weakness in crypto trading volumes. “Even if crypto prices are near a bottom, retail volumes typically remain muted until momentum returns,” Needham analyst John Todaro told investors. TipRanks The call matters because Coinbase’s revenue still swings with how much customers trade, not just where bitcoin is priced. Late-December sessions are typically thin, and that can expose any slowdown in activity. Needham’s trimmed target still sits above

Silver ETF SLV hit its worst day in five years — then bounced back as China export rules and margin hikes bite

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:52 ET The iShares Silver Trust, the biggest U.S. silver-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), fell about 7% on Monday in its steepest one-day drop in five years as silver prices retreated from record highs. SLV was up about 4% in Tuesday trading, a sign that volatility has not left a market that has surged through year-end. The swings matter because ETFs such as SLV have become a main channel for retail investors to trade silver without storing the metal. Sharp reversals can force fast exits in crowded trades, especially late in the year when liquidity is

Eli Lilly stock dips after report flags China price cuts for Mounjaro

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:48 ET — Regular session Eli Lilly and Company shares were down $1.73, or about 0.2%, at $1,077.00 in morning trading on Tuesday. The move comes as investors focus on whether the weight-loss boom is entering a tougher phase on pricing, not just supply. Lilly’s obesity franchise has helped propel the stock, so any sign of discounting tends to land quickly with traders. The issue matters now because competition is widening beyond the United States and into markets where access and affordability drive demand. For GLP-1 drugs — medicines that mimic a gut hormone to

Robinhood stock slips today after Needham trims target — traders eye 4:05 p.m. activity update

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:38 ET — Regular session Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) shares fell 0.7% to $116.64 by 10:38 a.m. ET on Tuesday, with the stock trading between $116.14 and $118.06. The move comes as investors look for fresh signals on retail trading demand into year-end, with Robinhood expected to publish a December activity snapshot after the closing bell. Needham lowered its price target on Robinhood to $135 from $145 while reiterating a Buy rating, citing expectations that crypto trading volumes stay weak for the next couple of quarters. A price target is an analyst’s estimate of where a

Exxon Mobil stock rises today as oil steadies on geopolitics — what traders are watching next for XOM

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:53 ET — Regular session Exxon Mobil shares rose about 0.5% to $121.19 in late morning trading, after moving between $121.00 and $121.75. The move mattered because Exxon, like other big integrated oil companies, tends to trade with crude prices day-to-day. Oil has been the main driver for the sector as investors react to fast-changing geopolitical headlines and near-term supply constraints. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate — the global and U.S. oil benchmarks used to price most crude trades — were modestly higher on Tuesday after both jumped more than 2% in the prior

Why Caterpillar stock is slipping today: AI data-center power bets meet year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:59 ET — Regular session Caterpillar, Inc. shares dipped on Tuesday, down about 0.2% at $577.21, as U.S. stocks edged lower in thin year-end trading. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all slightly in the red, with investors also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of its latest policy discussion. Reuters The modest move matters because Caterpillar has become a crowded way to express a bigger market theme: rising power demand from AI data centers, and what that means for industrial suppliers.

Allied Gold stock rebounds as gold prices bounce back after sharp selloff

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:15 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares were up 71 cents, or about 3.1%, at $23.67 in morning trading on Tuesday. The move tracked a broader rebound in precious-metals-linked names after bullion swung sharply over the past two sessions. That matters now because thin year-end liquidity can exaggerate moves, and gold’s price swings tend to ripple quickly into miners’ shares, which investors often treat as leveraged bets on the metal. Gold fell hard on Monday after hitting a record high late last week, as traders locked in profits following the rally. Spot gold

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:25 ET — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares edged down 0.2% to $323.18 in late morning trading on Tuesday, after touching an intraday high of $324.89. U.S. bank stocks were mixed, with Bank of America up 0.2%, while Citigroup fell 0.9% and Goldman Sachs slid 0.8%. For JPMorgan, the biggest near-term driver remains the outlook for interest rates.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:25 ET AST SpaceMobile director Keith Larson bought 625 shares of the company’s Class A stock at $80 apiece, according to a Form 4 filing dated Dec. 29. The filing said the transaction was executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan — a pre-arranged trading plan — and left Larson with 2,015 shares held indirectly through an IRA.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:25 ET Prenetics Global Ltd said on Tuesday it has stopped buying bitcoin and will not make additional purchases, redirecting its capital allocation to its IM8 health supplement brand. The Nasdaq-listed health sciences company said it halted daily buying on Dec. 4 and will keep its 510 bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

MarketWatch The move matters because Oracle is trading like a rate-sensitive, high-valuation software name, with investors using macro signals to price long-dated growth.

India’s UPI boom hits cigarette kiosks — but “cash is still king” in India

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:08 ET Cigarette and tobacco kiosks have become one of the fastest-growing merchant categories on India’s Unified Payments Interface, with transaction volumes rising more than eightfold between November 2023 and November 2025, a Moneycontrol analysis reported. The shift matters because India’s digital payments push is increasingly leaning on everyday, low-value purchases to keep UPI growth humming, even as cash remains entrenched in parts of the economy where digital adoption is harder and tax compliance is looser.

Silver rebounds after breaking $80 as gold steadies following record-high whipsaw

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:10 ET Silver prices bounced on Tuesday after a sharp selloff a day earlier erased a brief run above $80 an ounce and rattled the broader precious-metals complex. Spot silver was up 2.5% at $74.10 an ounce, while gold gained 0.7% to $4,361, Reuters reported. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/global-markets-wrapup-1-2025-12-30/ The whipsaw matters because it hit during a holiday-shortened week when liquidity is thin and price swings can be exaggerated.
