Santa Claus Rally 2025: AI Jitters, Fed Signals and Global Central Banks Put Wall Street’s Year-End Bounce to the Test

December 15, 2025 — The market’s most persistent seasonal storyline is back: will the “Santa Claus rally” save the final stretch of the year, or is Wall Street about to get a lump of coal? As the last full trading week of 2025 begins, investors are trying to stabilize after a tech-led slide last week—while juggling a rare mix of cross-currents: delayed U.S. economic data due to the government shutdown, multiple major central bank decisions, renewed worries about an AI-driven capex bubble, and fresh tremors from China’s property market.

Applied Digital (APLD) and the AI Data Center Power Crunch: $16B Backlog, New Buildouts, and the Utilities Rush (Dec. 15, 2025)

The global race to scale artificial intelligence is no longer just about who can secure the most advanced GPUs. Increasingly, it’s about who can secure the hardest inputs of all: grid-ready power, purpose-built data centers, and financing that can survive multi-year construction timelines. That shift is pushing Applied Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: APLD) into the spotlight. The company has positioned itself as a builder and operator of high-density, liquid-cooled “AI factories” — specialized data centers designed to handle modern AI training and inference workloads — and it’s doing it with long-term leases that are starting to look like a prized form

Dec. 15, 2025 — GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) is back in the spotlight on Monday as the stock digests a massive post–investor update run, fresh analyst coverage, and a fast-evolving debate on how to value the “picks-and-shovels” companies enabling the AI and electrification boom.

The move comes days after the company’s upbeat multi-year outlook helped propel the stock to record territory, and as Wall Street continues to publish new price targets and forecasts tied to data-center-driven power demand.

December 15, 2025 — Alphabet Inc.’s Class C shares (NASDAQ: GOOG) traded modestly lower on Monday as investors weighed a fresh wave of AI-focused analyst commentary against a growing list of regulatory and legal headlines spanning Europe, the U.S., and Russia-linked litigation. At the center of the debate: whether Google’s AI push is now moving from “who can spend the most” to “who can monetize the fastest”—and how much regulatory friction could disrupt that trajectory.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) began the week under a familiar spotlight: Wall Street still sees Microsoft as one of the most important “AI infrastructure + enterprise software” plays in global markets, but investors are also weighing the costs and constraints of the AI buildout—plus rising legal and regulatory scrutiny tied to cloud licensing. As of the latest available trading update on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, MSFT traded around $477.90, down about 0.13% on the day, after opening near $480.11 and moving between roughly $477.05 and $480.26 intraday.

Oracle Corporation stock (NYSE: ORCL) is starting the week under a bright spotlight after last week’s sharp selloff in AI-linked names, with investors weighing two forces that are pulling in opposite directions: a massive cloud-and-AI contract backlog that could reshape Oracle’s growth profile, and the heavy infrastructure spending—and financing questions—required to deliver it. Reuters+1 By mid-day Monday, Dec. 15, Oracle shares were down about 2.5% at roughly $185, after trading as high as about $191 earlier in the session—another reminder that ORCL has become one of the market’s most sensitive “tell” stocks for AI sentiment into year-end.

Broadcom Inc.

Tokyo AI Stocks Slide as SoftBank, Advantest Drag Nikkei on Dec. 15, 2025 — BOJ Rate Hike in Focus

Tokyo’s AI-linked stocks took a clear hit on Monday, December 15, 2025, as a pullback in global tech sentiment spilled into Japan’s market and triggered a rotation away from some of the year’s biggest “AI trade” winners.

The index fell 1.31% to 50,168.11, even as the broader Topix gained 0.22% to 3,431.47—a split that underscored how concentrated the pressure was in AI- and semiconductor-related shares rather than across the entire market.

SINGAPORE — 15 December 2025 — “AI stocks” in Singapore don’t look like a single crowded trade. On the Singapore Exchange (SGX), artificial intelligence exposure is spread across data-centre landlords, industrial REITs with digital tenants, chip-and-equipment supply-chain names, and a small but growing set of AI-enabled companies. That matters today because the global mood has shifted from pure excitement to a more selective stance: investors are once again asking a blunt question—when does all the AI spending translate into returns?

AI Stocks in India Today (15.12.2025): Wipro, TCS, Infosys and Tata Elxsi in Focus as Agentic AI Moves from Hype to Deployment

India’s “AI stock” story on 15 December 2025 isn’t being driven by a single breakout product or one blockbuster quarterly result. Instead, it’s being shaped by a clear shift in what enterprises (and investors) now want from artificial intelligence: less experimentation, more deployment—and a growing emphasis on agentic AI (systems that can take action with minimal supervision) over chatbots and content tools. That demand shift is playing out on Dalal Street at a time when the broader tape remains cautious. In early trade, benchmarks slipped amid foreign outflows, uncertainty around a US–India trade deal, and a record-low rupee, all of

Scale AI Valuation in 2025: Latest Read on the $29B Meta Deal, Private-Market Pricing Signals, and What Comes Next (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)
