Bitcoin price today: BTC slips to $87K after $90K test as year-end flows weigh

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:08 ET — After-hours Bitcoin eased in late New York trade on Monday, slipping about 0.4% to $87,129 after an early jump above $90,000 fizzled. The retreat matters heading into the final three U.S. equity sessions of 2025, when thinner liquidity can amplify moves around big, round-number levels that many traders use as reference points. Reuters Markets are also resetting expectations for 2026 rate cuts, with investors awaiting Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Tuesday and watching whether year-end funding strains spill into risk assets such as crypto. Reuters+1 Bitcoin traded between $86,780 and $90,247 on

Silver price today: SLV sinks after-hours as margin hike fuels sharp metal selloff

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:03 ET — After-hours Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a widely used proxy for silver prices, fell 7.1% to $66.01 in after-hours trading on Monday. The abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF (SIVR) was down 7.2% at $69.33. The late-day slide matters because it lands after a blistering year-end surge that pulled more speculative money into silver and the “silver stocks” tied to it. Sharp reversals this close to year-end can spill quickly into mining shares and risk appetite when traders are forced to cut exposure. Silver can move like a safe-haven hedge and like

Gold price today: What just knocked gold, GLD and Newmont lower after record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:02 PM ET — After-hours Gold prices fell sharply on Monday, snapping back from record highs as investors took profits and risk controls tightened in futures trading. Spot gold fell 4.5% to $4,330.79 an ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET and U.S. gold futures for February delivery settled 4.6% lower at $4,343.60.

Thin holiday trading can magnify moves when leveraged bets unwind. Reuters One trigger was higher collateral demands in futures markets. CME

Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as Tesla, Nvidia retreat; SoftBank deal lifts DigitalBridge

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:59 PM ET — After-hours Wall Street closed lower on Monday as heavyweight technology shares retreated in the final week of 2025, taking some air out of last week’s push to record highs. The late-December wobble matters because many investors are managing year-end risk and rebalancing portfolios after a strong run. With fewer traders at their desks, small order flows can move prices more than usual. The bigger question for markets is whether the momentum behind 2025’s rally can carry into the first sessions of 2026, or whether profit-taking and crowded positioning will keep volatility

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:51 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding 249.04 points, or 0.51%, to 48,461.93 as tech shares cooled after last week’s run-up. The S&P 500 fell 0.35% to 6,905.74 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% to 23,474.35. Reuters The timing matters because the market is heading into the final stretch of the year near record levels, when positioning and thin liquidity can magnify swings.

GOOG stock ends lower as year-end tech trade cools — what Alphabet investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:41 ET — After-hours Alphabet Inc’s Class C (non-voting) shares (GOOG.O) ended the regular session down 0.4% on Monday and were little changed after the bell as heavyweight technology stocks pulled back in thin year-end trading. In after-hours trading — electronic trading after the 4 p.m. close — GOOG traded around $314.4. Yahoo Finance The drift lower matters now because Alphabet has been a key beneficiary of the 2025 run in large-cap technology, leaving investors sensitive to any pause in the sector as December liquidity thins. Alphabet is up roughly two-thirds in 2025, according to

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were last down 2.2% at $155.39 in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed another bitcoin purchase funded by selling new shares. SEC The move matters because Strategy has positioned itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” tying its equity more tightly to bitcoin’s swings than most U.S. software stocks. Strategy Investors have also become more sensitive to dilution — when issuing new stock reduces existing shareholders’ ownership percentage — as Strategy continues to tap capital markets to accumulate the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was down about 0.3% at

Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close. StockAnalysis The muted move matters because Microsoft is one of the biggest weights in U.S. equity indexes, and late-December liquidity is thin as 2025 winds down. In that backdrop, small shifts in mega-cap technology can sway benchmarks and amplify day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks slipped broadly on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3%

Apple Stock Steadies After Hours as Year-End Trading Turns Choppy; Fed Minutes Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:14 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares were up about 0.1% in after-hours trading at $273.74 on Monday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even a small swing can move index performance and risk sentiment when liquidity is thin. That matters more in the final week of the year, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar. Investopedia U.S. stocks finished lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 down

The stock traded between $183.67 and $188.01 in the regular session, with about 26.4 million shares changing hands. The slide matters because Palantir has been one of 2025’s standout gainers, and year-end trading often magnifies profit-taking in high-flyers. The stock is up about 145% so far this year, according to Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance The broader tape turned softer into the final week of the year, with the S&P 500 down 0.34%, the Nasdaq off

The stock finished up 0.28% at $215.58. Investing.com The move comes with U.S. markets down to three sessions left in 2025, a stretch when thin liquidity can exaggerate swings in heavily owned technology and semiconductor names.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:09 PM ET — After-hours Micron Technology (MU) shares rose 3.4% on Monday to end at $294.40, rebounding from an early slide and finishing near the session high. The stock traded between $278.51 and $294.45 on volume of about 25.6 million shares, market data showed. The move matters because Micron sits in a pricing-driven corner of semiconductors, where small shifts in memory prices can flow quickly through earnings.

Nvidia was last down 1.3% at $188.01 in late regular trading, while Intel rose 1.3% and Advanced Micro Devices was little changed.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:13 ET — After-hours Tesla Inc (TSLA) shares were down 3.3% at $459.51 late in Monday’s regular session after South Korea’s L&F said the value of its battery-material supply deal with Tesla had shrunk to $7,386 from an earlier projection of $2.9 billion. “There is anxiety about the battery sector overall,” said Cho Hyun-ryul, a senior analyst at Samsung Securities. Reuters The supplier disclosure matters because Tesla is closing out the year with investors demanding proof points on the parts of its story that sit outside core vehicle sales.

Broadcom stock slips into after-hours as year-end tech pullback bites

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:05 ET — After-hours Broadcom Inc.

Yahoo Finance The stock traded between $344.69 and $350.33 during the session, hovering near the psychologically important $350 level heading into after-hours.

SMCI stock slips near $30 as Nvidia cools in year-end trade; what to watch

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:46 ET — Regular session Super Micro Computer shares fell about 1.1% to $30.29 in late afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $29.82 and $31.12 earlier in the session. The move matters now because year-end positioning is thinning liquidity and magnifying day-to-day swings in high-volatility tech names. Supermicro is treated as a proxy for spending on data-center builds, particularly systems that bundle advanced graphics chips into full server racks. With only a few sessions left in 2025, risk appetite has started to look more selective across AI suppliers. U.S. stocks dipped in light, holiday-shortened

DRDGOLD stock sinks as gold pulls back — what moved DRD today

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session U.S.-listed shares of South Africa’s DRDGOLD Limited were down about 8.3% at $30.55 in afternoon trading on Monday, as gold-linked equities sold off. The stock opened at $31.37 and has traded between $30.25 and $33.15 so far in the session. The slide mattered because gold miners often move more than the underlying metal. Their costs tend to be slow to change, so swings in the gold price can quickly reshape profit expectations. That sensitivity comes into focus near year-end, when funds and commodity desks rebalance and lock in gains. Thin
