NIO stock in focus after China EV demand warning, Fed minutes ahead

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:35 ET — Market closed Shares of NIO Inc (NIO.N) rose 3.9% in the latest session on Friday to close at $5.10, even as broader U.S. indexes finished little changed in holiday-thinned trade.

Bitcoin’s $90,000 test puts Coinbase stock back in play ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 01:53 ET — Market closed Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares were last down 1.2% at $236.90, as traders tracked a late-year rebound in cryptocurrencies ahead of U.S. markets reopening later on Monday.

RTX stock sets up Monday: Fed minutes, Taiwan drills and the $185 line

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 01:20 ET — Market closed. RTX Corp shares ended the last session lower, closing at $185.17 on Friday.

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 05:50 EST — Market closed.
