Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Brace for Shutdown-Delayed Jobs Report and Retail Sales

Wall Street is heading into December 16 with a familiar late-year mix of caution and urgency: investors want to lock in gains, but they’re also staring down a rare “data dump” after weeks of fog caused by a federal government shutdown.

After U.S. stocks ended Monday modestly lower—dragged by renewed weakness in big tech and AI-linked names—traders now turn to a long-delayed jobs report due Tuesday morning, alongside a rescheduled retail sales release that could reshape expectations for interest rates into early 2026.

Gold Price Now (Dec. 15, 2025, 3:30 PM EST): Spot Gold Holds Near $4,320 as Markets Weigh Fed Cut Bets, Ukraine Talks, and Tuesday’s U.S. Jobs Data

Gold prices are trading in the low $4,300s per ounce late Monday afternoon in New York, with investors juggling three competing forces: a softer U.S. dollar and easing yields that typically lift bullion, fading safe-haven urgency tied to progress in Ukraine peace discussions, and a looming slate of U.S. economic releases that could reset expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

Gold Price Today (December 12, 2025): Why Gold Is Down After a Seven-Week High — Fed Rate-Cut Bets, Dollar Bounce, and Profit-Taking in Focus

Updated: December 12, 2025 Gold is slightly lower in early trade today, even after a strong post-Fed rally pushed bullion to a seven‑week high. The move isn’t a full reversal—more a pause—driven mainly by profit-taking, a modest rebound in the U.S. dollar, and a short-term shift back into risk assets (stocks and industrial metals). The Economic Times+2Reuters+2 At the same time, the broader backdrop remains supportive: traders are still leaning toward further Federal Reserve easing in 2026, and physical-market pricing in Asia shows demand has cooled at these elevated levels—an important check on how fast prices can run.
