Micron stock closes up 3% as DRAM prices tick higher — why MU is moving today

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. Investors have been watching for signs that supply remains tight as AI-related demand pulls capacity toward higher-end products. A key focus is high-bandwidth memory, or HBM —

Nvidia Stock Slips After Intel Confirms $5 Billion Share Sale to NVDA — What Traders Watch Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:08 ET — After-hours Nvidia Corporation shares slipped on Monday after Intel confirmed it completed a $5 billion private stock sale to the AI chip designer, formalizing a minority stake first announced in September. 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. The transaction matters now because investors are scrutinizing how the biggest AI winners deploy cash as 2025 closes and positioning resets for 2026. It also pulls Nvidia deeper into Intel’s turnaround efforts, where capital and execution on manufacturing plans

Tesla stock drops after supplier slashes $2.9 billion battery deal to $7,386

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.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:11 PM ET — After-hours Meta Platforms shares ended Monday’s regular session down 0.5% at $659.88, after swinging between $654.40 and $660.19. Volume was about 6.1 million shares, roughly in line with recent daily trading.

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

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 4:05 ET — After-hours Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) shares fell on Monday as profit-taking hit chip stocks in the final week of the year, ending regular trading down 0.8% at $349.39. 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. Yahoo Finance The dip matters now because Broadcom remains a heavily owned AI-infrastructure name, and price swings tend to amplify into year-end when liquidity is thinner and portfolio managers rebalance.

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

Nvidia dips on Intel stake filing as AI stocks cool; DigitalBridge jumps on SoftBank deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:00 ET — Regular session Nvidia shares slid on Monday after Intel disclosed in a filing that the AI-chip designer had completed a $5 billion investment in the chipmaker, as a broader retreat in heavyweight technology stocks weighed on AI-linked names. Reuters+1 The move matters now because AI leaders have been central to this year’s U.S. equity run, and thin holiday trading can magnify swings as investors adjust positions into year-end. Reuters Investors are also tracking big-ticket infrastructure and partnership moves for clues on where the next wave of AI spending will land in 2026

MongoDB stock slides as “MongoBleed” exploitation warning puts database security in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:18 ET — Regular session MongoDB Inc (MDB) shares were down about 2.2% at $426.35 in afternoon trading on Monday, after swinging between $421.11 and $435.80 earlier in the session. The decline put a spotlight on a cyber risk that can matter quickly for database providers: patching cadence. When a vulnerability can be exploited without a login, security teams often move to lock down internet exposure before they do anything else. That urgency can ripple into spending decisions. Enterprises running self-managed databases may delay rollouts or add controls, while vendors face questions about whether cloud-managed

MercadoLibre stock today: MELI edges higher as year-end trading stays thin

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:28 ET — Regular session. MercadoLibre, Inc. shares were up 0.4% at $2,014.52 on Monday afternoon, after trading as high as $2,037.13 and as low as $1,986.98. The Latin American e-commerce and payments bellwether is heading into the final three sessions of 2025, a stretch when lighter liquidity can make small moves look bigger than they are. That timing matters because investors often use liquid growth stocks to fine-tune exposure before year-end rebalancing, even when there is little fresh company-specific news. U.S. Treasury yields — the interest rates paid on government debt — eased and

Silver whiplash slams PSLV as Sprott trust drops with bullion

Silver whiplash slams PSLV as Sprott trust drops with bullion

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:05 ET — Regular session Units of Sprott Physical Silver Trust fell 7.6% to $24.05 in afternoon trading on Monday, tracking a sharp pullback in silver. The units swung between $25.32 and $23.41, with volume above 26 million. The move matters because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has turned bullion-linked funds into a high-beta macro trade heading into year-end. A fast reversal can prompt quick de-risking across products tied to the metal. An increase in margin requirements on U.S. metals futures added to the pressure. Margins are the cash deposits needed to hold leveraged futures positions,

Allied Gold slides 7% as gold pulls back from record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares fell about 7.4% on Monday, tracking a broad pullback in precious metals. The stock was down $1.84 at $23.08 in afternoon trading after earlier touching $23.01. The move matters heading into the final sessions of the year, when holiday-thinned trading can amplify swings. Gold miners tend to react sharply when bullion reverses because earnings expectations often move faster than the metal price. Spot gold slid 4.5% to $4,330.79 an ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET after hitting a record $4,549.71 on Friday. “We are seeing profit-taking pullbacks

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:25 ET — Regular session Wells Fargo & Company shares were down 0.6% at $94.66 on Monday afternoon, giving back ground after an early rise and underperforming their intraday high. The move matters because banks remain tightly linked to the interest-rate outlook heading into year-end. Even modest swings in yields can change expectations for what lenders earn on loans versus what they pay for deposits. Trading conditions are also thin in the final week of the year, which can exaggerate sector moves. That has left investors watching rates and liquidity gauges as closely as company
