Salesforce stock today: CRM ticks up as Fed minutes loom in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 12:06 ET — Regular session Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) shares inched higher on Tuesday as investors positioned ahead of U.S. Federal Reserve minutes due later in the day. The stock was up about 0.2% at $266.84 in midday trading.

Bank of America (BAC) stock today: Shares slip as Fed minutes, year-end funding strains grab focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:54 ET — Regular session Bank of America Corp shares were down 0.2% at $55.23 by 11:54 a.m. ET, after trading between $55.20 and $55.64. About 6.5 million shares had changed hands.

Canada’s 2026 TFSA limit is $7,000 as tax brackets rise: key CRA dates ahead

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:34 ET Canada’s federal income tax brackets for 2026 will rise 2% with inflation and the lowest federal rate will be 14%, Canada Revenue Agency payroll tables show. The first bracket runs to C$58,523 and the top threshold begins at C$258,482, the tables show. Canada Why it matters now: employers set January payroll withholdings in days, and households are already lining up their first-quarter cash flows and registered-account contributions.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:30 ET — Regular session Intel shares rose 3.8% to $38.08 in morning trade on Tuesday after the chipmaker confirmed Nvidia had completed a $5 billion stock purchase. The transaction lands as Intel looks to reinforce its finances after years of missteps and capital-intensive production expansions, with the Nvidia investment seen as a key lifeline.

Harmony Gold (HMY) stock rebounds in premarket as gold steadies after CME margin jolt

Harmony Gold (HMY) stock rebounds in premarket as gold steadies after CME margin jolt

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:30 ET — Premarket Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited’s U.S.-listed shares were up 3.4% at $20.63 in premarket trading on Tuesday, steadying after a sharp selloff in the gold complex a day earlier. Public The bounce matters because gold-linked stocks have been trading in lockstep with bullion as a late-year rally pushed precious metals to record territory. When futures exchanges raise margin — cash required to hold a contract — leveraged traders often trim positions quickly, amplifying moves across the sector.

P&G stock slips as consumer staples lag — what Wall Street is watching next

NEW YORK, Dec 30, 2025, 12:04 ET — Regular session. Procter & Gamble shares fell modestly on Tuesday, trading at about $143.77, down 0.6% on the day in the middle of the U.S. session. The broader Consumer Staples sector was also lower, keeping pressure on household-products names even as investors typically lean on defensives when growth stocks wobble. For P&G specifically, there was no company announcement flagged in the latest tape that clearly explained the intraday move, leaving the stock trading in line with sector flows.

Lloyds pulls invoice factoring for SMEs, tightening cash‑flow options heading into 2026

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:32 ET Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) plans to close its invoice factoring service for small and medium-sized businesses by the end of 2025, the Financial Times reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. The timing matters because factoring is a day-to-day cash tool for smaller firms, letting them turn unpaid invoices into money they can use immediately. A year-end shutdown would force some businesses to line up alternatives for 2026. The move also signals a wider retreat by major UK lenders from labour-intensive working-capital products, as banks focus on steadier returns from mortgages and

The move matters now because Home Depot’s sales tend to track housing activity and household confidence.

The stock ranged from $236.64 to $246.84. The year-end tape has put Sandisk back on watchlists because it has been one of 2025’s biggest winners.

The stock traded between $882.43 and $895.39, leaving it just below the $900 level that has acted as a near-term line in the sand for traders.
