Dow Jones today: Tech pullback knocks the Dow down 249 points as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:51 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding 249.04 points, or 0.51%, to 48,461.93 as tech shares cooled after last week’s run-up. The S&P 500 fell 0.35% to 6,905.74 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% to 23,474.35. Reuters The timing matters because the market is heading into the final stretch of the year near record levels, when positioning and thin liquidity can magnify swings. Traders have also been watching whether a late-December “Santa Claus rally” — the seasonal tendency for stocks to rise into

Microsoft stock edges lower after the bell as year-end trade cools tech; MSFT investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:35 ET — After-hours Microsoft Corp shares ended Monday down about 0.1% at $487.11, after trading between $484.18 and $488.35 in the regular session. The stock was down about 0.1% in after-hours trading, the period after the 4 p.m. ET market close. StockAnalysis The muted move matters because Microsoft is one of the biggest weights in U.S. equity indexes, and late-December liquidity is thin as 2025 winds down. In that backdrop, small shifts in mega-cap technology can sway benchmarks and amplify day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks slipped broadly on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.3%

Apple Stock Steadies After Hours as Year-End Trading Turns Choppy; Fed Minutes Next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:14 ET — After-hours Apple Inc shares were up about 0.1% in after-hours trading at $273.74 on Monday, after slipping 0.15% in the regular session. The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even a small swing can move index performance and risk sentiment when liquidity is thin. That matters more in the final week of the year, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and few major corporate catalysts on the calendar. Investopedia U.S. stocks finished lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 down

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

Wells Fargo stock dips in late trade as yields ease; Fed liquidity, earnings date in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:25 ET — Regular session Wells Fargo & Company shares were down 0.6% at $94.66 on Monday afternoon, giving back ground after an early rise and underperforming their intraday high. The move matters because banks remain tightly linked to the interest-rate outlook heading into year-end. Even modest swings in yields can change expectations for what lenders earn on loans versus what they pay for deposits. Trading conditions are also thin in the final week of the year, which can exaggerate sector moves. That has left investors watching rates and liquidity gauges as closely as company

XRP treads water near $1.85 as crypto fund outflows persist ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:57 ET — Regular session XRP hovered near $1.85 on Monday, little changed after giving up earlier gains as trading stayed subdued late in the year. The token was last down 0.01% over the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap The muted price action comes as investors continue to pull money from listed crypto investment products, a signal of still-fragile demand even as year-end approaches. Some corners of the market have held up better than others. CoinShares said digital-asset investment products recorded $446 million of outflows last week, taking withdrawals since an Oct. 10 price slide to

Spotify stock slips in late-December trade as tech cools — SPOT investors watch Fed minutes, 2026 pricing

Spotify stock slips in late-December trade as tech cools — SPOT investors watch Fed minutes, 2026 pricing

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:46 ET — Regular session Spotify Technology S.A. shares fell about 0.4% to $582.26 in afternoon trading on Monday, down $2.09 from the prior close, according to LSEG data. The stock traded between $577.29 and $586.53. The move matters because markets are in the final stretch of the year, when fewer buyers and sellers — thinner liquidity — can magnify intraday swings. In that backdrop, single-stock moves often follow broad risk sentiment more than company headlines. Wall Street’s main indexes eased as investors took some profits in large-cap tech, and trading volumes were expected to

Marvell stock falls today: MRVL tracks tech pullback as traders eye Fed minutes

Marvell stock falls today: MRVL tracks tech pullback as traders eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:44 ET — Regular session Marvell Technology, Inc. shares fell about 1.1% to $85.41 in afternoon trading on Monday, tracking a broader retreat in technology stocks at the start of the final week of the year. The Nasdaq-listed chipmaker has traded between $84.21 and $86.09 so far in the session. The move matters because Marvell is closely tied to data-center spending, where investor sentiment can swing quickly on any shift in views about the pace of AI infrastructure buildouts. With liquidity typically thinner late in December, sector moves can translate into sharper single-stock swings. Wall

Dow slides as tech gives back gains into year-end, Fed minutes ahead

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:59 ET — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday afternoon as investors pared back positions in technology-linked names and banks in the final trading days of 2025. The move matters because year-end rebalancing and lighter holiday liquidity can amplify swings, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. The pullback also tests hopes for a “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal stretch when stocks often rise over the last five sessions of the year and the first two of the next — after major indexes pushed toward

Mastercard slips in thin year-end trade as investors eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:30 ET — Regular session Mastercard shares slipped on Monday as U.S. stocks eased in holiday-thinned trading in the final week of 2025. The payments company’s stock was down about 0.2% at $578.34 in afternoon New York trading. Reuters The dip matters because markets are shifting from chasing momentum to protecting gains, with trading volumes expected to stay light into the New Year’s holiday. Investors are bracing for U.S. Federal Reserve meeting minutes and fresh labor-market data that can sway rate expectations and broad risk appetite. Reuters+1 Mastercard often trades as a proxy for consumer

SoFi stock slips in year-end wobble as traders eye Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:43 ET — Regular session Key points SoFi Technologies (SOFI.O) shares fell 0.6% to $26.91 in midday trading on Monday, after swinging between $26.60 and $27.39. Affirm slipped 0.8%, Upstart fell 1.6% and LendingClub lost 1.1%. The move came as Wall Street eased from record highs in thin year-end trade. At 11:13 a.m. ET, the Dow fell 0.45%, the S&P 500 lost 0.42% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.63% as heavyweight tech stocks pulled back. Reuters That backdrop matters for SoFi now because investors often treat rate-sensitive consumer lenders as a read-through on risk appetite. Shifts

JPMorgan slips with big banks as traders eye Fed minutes in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:51 ET — Regular session JPMorgan Chase & Co shares dipped on Monday, tracking a broader pullback in U.S. equities as traders headed into the final stretch of 2025 with light volumes and a thin economic calendar. The stock was down 0.8% at $325.21 in morning trading. The banking bellwether traded between $324.88 and $328.39 earlier in the session. The moves matter because large U.S. banks are closely tied to interest-rate expectations. When Treasury yields fall, it can pressure the spread banks earn between loans and deposits, a key profit driver. Markets are also entering

Barrick slides as gold cools from record highs; Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:25 ET — Regular session Barrick Mining shares slid about 6% on Monday as gold prices retreated from record highs and investors locked in profits into year-end. Google+1 The move matters because gold’s 2025 rally has been steep, leaving miners exposed to sharp swings when traders unwind positions. Gold is often treated as a safe-haven — an asset investors buy when they want shelter from economic or geopolitical stress — and that demand can fade quickly when risks appear to ease. Reuters Investors are also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes, due
