Indian Stock Market Today (Dec 17, 2025): Nifty 50 Hovers Near 25,900 as RBI Supports Rupee; Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and Meesho in Focus

Mumbai — Indian markets opened Wednesday, December 17, 2025, on a cautious note after a volatile week in which the rupee’s slide, persistent foreign selling, and uncertainty over an India–U.S. trade agreement kept risk appetite in check. The day’s early tone was defined by two cross-currents: the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) aggressive pushback that helped the rupee rebound from record lows, and continued investor nerves around capital flows and macro headwinds. Reuters+1 While benchmark indices steadied in early trade, attention remained firmly on stock-specific stories—especially Axis Bank after a sharp sell-off tied to margin outlook concerns, HDFC Bank after

EU Stock Markets Today (16.12.2025): STOXX 600 Holds Steady as Banks Rise, Defence Stocks Slide Ahead of Key U.S. Jobs Data

European stock markets were largely subdued on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors kept risk-taking in check ahead of a pivotal U.S. employment report and a packed week of central-bank decisions. Beneath the calm headline moves, sector rotation was pronounced: European bank and healthcare shares advanced, while defence and technology stocks dropped sharply—dragged lower by shifting geopolitics and persistent valuation concerns in mega-cap tech. Reuters+1 The tone across EU markets today is best described as “wait-and-see.” Traders are bracing for a combined October-and-November U.S. jobs report—delayed by a prolonged U.S. government shutdown—while also positioning for the European Central Bank’s meeting

Singapore Stock Market Today (16 Dec 2025): STI Edges Lower Near 4,582 as DBS and OCBC Hit Record Highs Ahead of Key US Data

SINGAPORE — Singapore stocks traded cautiously on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, with the market’s “mood music” set by a global risk-off session in Asia ahead of major US economic releases and a dense week of central bank decisions. Even as the broader market cooled after a strong run, Singapore’s heavyweight banks stayed in the spotlight: DBS and OCBC touched fresh all-time highs in intraday trade, underlining how financials continue to anchor the Straits Times Index (STI).

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) Stock Outlook on 16 December 2025: Rate-Hike Call, Analyst Targets and Key Catalysts

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stock (ASX: CBA) is back in the spotlight on 16 December 2025, not because of a fresh earnings release, but because the interest-rate narrative that helped define bank valuations in 2025 is shifting again—quickly. Over the past week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has moved from “rates on hold” chatter to explicitly warning the next move could be up, and today both CBA and NAB economists have publicly shifted their forecasts toward a February 2026 hike. Reuters+2CommBank+2 For investors in CBA shares, that’s a big deal: interest-rate expectations influence bank margins, credit growth, bad debts,

Bank of America (BAC) Stock Today: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and Key Catalysts for 2026 (Dec. 15, 2025)

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) stock is in focus on Monday, December 15, 2025, as investors weigh two big cross-currents: a shifting U.S. rate outlook after the Federal Reserve’s December cut, and fresh momentum behind the “banks-as-AI-efficiency-winners” narrative that has been gaining traction across global financials.

Singapore Stocks: What to Watch Before SGX Opens on 15 December 2025 (STI, Banks, REITs, Fed, Oil, Key Data)

Singapore equities head into Monday’s session with the Straits Times Index (STI) sitting at fresh highs after Friday’s strong close — but with a more complicated global backdrop than the headline level suggests. On one hand, Singapore’s market narrative has been supported by steady domestic participation (especially in REITs and index names), improving rate expectations, and a year marked by robust benchmark performance. On the other hand, U.S. tech-led volatility has resurfaced, bond yields have jumped, and central-bank risk is building into year-end with major meetings in Japan and Europe in the week ahead. Here’s what investors and traders may

Updated Sunday, 14 Dec 2025 Singapore’s stock market enters the new week with momentum after a late-week burst pushed the Straits Times Index (STI) to 4,586.45 on Friday (Dec 12) — a 1.5% daily gain that capped a ~1.8% rise from Monday’s close and underscored the market’s “rate-sensitive/value” leadership into year-end. The Business Times+1 But the coming week is also shaping up as a classic tug-of-war: lower policy rates and improving liquidity signals on one side, and renewed volatility in global technology “AI trade” names plus bond-market nerves on the other.

Italy Stock Market Week Ahead: FTSE MIB Outlook for Dec 15–19, 2025 as Banks, Budget Politics and the ECB Take Center Stage

Updated: Sunday, December 14, 2025 (Piazza Affari / Borsa Italiana) Italian equities head into the new week with momentum in one hand and macro uncertainty in the other. The FTSE MIB spent much of the Dec. 8–12 trading week oscillating between “rate-cut relief” and “risk-off reality,” ending broadly steady on a weekly basis even as intraday swings remained sharp. One major takeaway: in Milan, bank leadership still matters most—especially when the interest-rate narrative shifts. troweprice.com+1 The coming week (Dec. 15–19) raises the stakes.

Blackstone (BX) stock price rebounds after Sabre deal as jobs, CPI loom next week

Blackstone (BX) stock price rebounds after Sabre deal as jobs, CPI loom next week

7 February 2026
New York, February 6, 2026, 21:13 EST — Market closed. Blackstone Inc. (BX) shares closed up 2.25% at $129.69 on Friday, after a sharp drop the day before and a bruising week for the sector. The stock was last at $129.65 in late after-hours trading. (StockAnalysis) The swing matters because Blackstone sits in the crosshairs of a wider rethink of private-market managers. Investors have been quick to punish anything tied to leverage, credit risk and tech exposure, then just as quick to buy back when rates and risk appetite settle. That push-pull has been driven in part by an AI-linked
