New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Weekend Outlook: S&P 500 Near 7,000 as Fed Minutes Loom and Year-End Trading Enters the Final Stretch

NEW YORK — As of 7:52 a.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025, the New York Stock Exchange is closed, leaving investors with a classic “weekend gap” moment: plenty of headlines, no fresh price discovery. That pause comes after Wall Street finished Friday’s post-Christmas session almost unchanged and close to all-time highs, a quiet landing that still left the major U.S. benchmarks up solidly for the week — and strongly positive for the year. Reuters+1 With three NYSE sessions left in 2025 (Monday through Wednesday), investors are now staring at a familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, portfolio “window dressing,” and

Bank of America Stock (BAC) Holds Near $56 After the Fed’s December Cut: Latest News, Wall Street Forecasts, and What Investors Should Watch Next

As of 9:21 p.m. ET in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, U.S. stock markets are closed and will not reopen until the next regular session on Monday, December 29. For Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC), the timing matters: the market is moving into the final stretch of the year with thin holiday liquidity, a still-elevated 10-year Treasury yield around the low-4% range, and investors increasingly focused on how rate cuts and a shifting regulatory backdrop could shape big-bank earnings in 2026.

Dow Jones Today (26.12.2025): DJIA Hovers Near 48,700 in Thin Post‑Christmas Trading as Fed-Cut Bets Stay in Focus

NEW YORK — 26.12.2025 (10:14 a.m. EST) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was little changed in late-morning trade Friday as U.S. equities digested a quiet, low-volume “bridge” session following the Christmas holiday. Around 10:14 a.m. EST, the Dow traded near 48,698, down about 0.1%, after opening close to 48,712 and staying within a narrow early range. Investing The muted action isn’t surprising for the day-after-Christmas session, when many institutional desks remain lightly staffed and liquidity can be thin. Still, the Dow’s ability to hold near record territory keeps attention on the late-December Santa Claus rally window and on

Gold price today (Friday, December 26, 2025) surged to fresh all-time highs, extending a breakout above the psychologically loaded $4,500 level as traders leaned into a familiar cocktail: safe-haven demand, expectations of easier U.S. monetary policy, and thin holiday liquidity that can turn a normal move into a dramatic one.

Asian Stocks Rise in Thin Christmas Trade as Gold and Silver Hit Record Highs on Fed Cut Bets

The bigger headline, however, was in commodities: gold pushed deeper into record territory above $4,500 an ounce and silver surged to fresh all-time highs, underscoring how investors are closing out 2025 with a strong appetite for both risk assets (stocks) and classic hedges (precious metals).
