GE Vernova stock today: Why GEV is holding near $665 as Fed minutes loom

GE Vernova stock today: Why GEV is holding near $665 as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:25 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc. shares were up about 0.2% at $664.52 in morning trade on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $660.91 and $667.99 so far in the session. The power-equipment maker has become a high-profile way to play rising electricity demand tied to data centers and grid spending. That has put the stock in a high-valuation cohort where shifts in interest-rate expectations can drive day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks edged lower in thin holiday trading, with investors waiting for minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due later Tuesday. “I

JPMorgan stock slips in early trade as Fed minutes and year-end funding signals take focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:25 ET — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares edged down 0.2% to $323.18 in late morning trading on Tuesday, after touching an intraday high of $324.89. U.S. bank stocks were mixed, with Bank of America up 0.2%, while Citigroup fell 0.9% and Goldman Sachs slid 0.8%. For JPMorgan, the biggest near-term driver remains the outlook for interest rates. Banks earn a large share of profits from net interest income — the spread between what they collect on loans and securities and what they pay out on deposits. That spread matters now because traders

Oracle stock rises as Fed minutes near; insider sale notice adds to OpenAI scrutiny

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:29 ET — Regular session Oracle shares rose 0.8% to $197.03 in morning trading on Tuesday, recovering after a 1.3% slide in the prior session. MarketWatch The move matters because Oracle is trading like a rate-sensitive, high-valuation software name, with investors using macro signals to price long-dated growth. Minutes from the Fed’s last policy meeting are expected later Tuesday, a potential catalyst for bond yields and tech multiples. Oracle has also become a flashpoint in the market debate over AI infrastructure spending, as investors weigh whether surging demand justifies heavy upfront buildouts. Capital expenditures, or

Amazon stock today: AMZN slips after appeals court rebuffs NLRB challenge as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:20 ET — Regular session Amazon.com Inc shares were slightly lower on Tuesday after a U.S. appeals court said it could not hear the company’s challenge to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as it sought to halt a case linked to delivery drivers employed by a contractor. Amazon stock was down about 0.1% at $231.82, versus a previous close of $232.07, after trading between $230.18 and $232.32.

Palantir stock slips today as Fed minutes loom and AI-linked tech cools

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:17 ET — Regular session Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O) slipped in morning trading on Tuesday, down $1.27, or about 0.7%, at $182.91. The stock has traded between $181.78 and $185.11 so far in the session. The pullback keeps the stock tethered to a broader retreat in high-growth tech shares as the final week of the year begins with a more defensive tone. Investors have been quick to lock in gains in names that surged on enthusiasm for artificial intelligence spending. That sensitivity matters now because markets are thinly staffed and volumes are lighter around year-end, which

Microsoft stock ticks higher today as year-end tech slump eases; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:06 ET — Regular session Microsoft Corp shares inched higher on Tuesday, up about 0.3% at $488.58 in morning trade after opening near $486 and holding a narrow range. The move matters because Microsoft remains a bellwether for U.S. megacap tech, where positioning shifts can swing the broader market in thin, year-end conditions. Small percentage moves in the biggest index weights often signal whether investors are adding risk or taking it off. Traders have also been wary of the push-and-pull between cooling inflation and higher-for-longer interest rates, a backdrop that tends to hit richly valued

XRP price today holds near $1.87 as Fed minutes loom and liquidity thins

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:03 ET — Regular session XRP was little changed on Tuesday morning, trading at about $1.87, as investors headed into the final days of the year with crypto volumes still subdued. The token was up about 0.1% over the past 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data showed. CoinMarketCap The muted move matters because crypto has become tightly tied to U.S. rate expectations and cross-asset risk sentiment, while many market participants are away for the holidays.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:01 ET — Regular session Shares of the iShares Silver Trust rose 3.5% in early U.S. trading on Tuesday, tracking a rebound in silver prices after a violent pullback from record highs. Reuters The move matters now because silver’s year-end surge has come with outsized swings that can force fast position changes in futures, ETFs and mining stocks. Investors are also adjusting to policy-driven supply and trading frictions at the same time, from tighter export administration in China to higher cash requirements for leveraged futures trades.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 27 points, or 0.06%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite edged down about 0.1% at the opening bell.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 04:32 ET Bank of America Chief Executive Brian Moynihan warned that financial markets would not tolerate political interference at the Federal Reserve as President Donald Trump looks for a successor to Chair Jerome Powell.
