Gold Price Above $4,200 as Fed Rate Cut Looms: Silver Hits Record, Oil Slips and Dollar Steadies on December 9, 2025

Gold is heading into the US Federal Reserve's December policy decision near record territory, capping a historic year for precious metals while oil prices wobble on oversupply fears and the dollar holds steady.

Fed Meeting Today: Markets Brace for December 2025 Rate Cut Decision — What to Expect from Powell and the FOMC

Fed Meeting Today: Markets Brace for December 2025 Rate Cut Decision — What to Expect from Powell and the FOMC

The U.S. Federal Reserve begins its final policy meeting of 2025 today, Tuesday, December 9, with investors overwhelmingly betting on another interest rate cut and watching just as closely for clues about what happens to borrowing costs in 2026. The two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting runs December 9–10 and will conclude with a policy statement at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, followed by Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference. Federal Reserve+1 Markets are treating a small cut as almost a done deal. Futures tracked by the CME FedWatch tool imply roughly a 90% probability that policymakers will trim the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point — a third straight reduction after cuts at the September and October meetings. That would move the target range from 3.75%–4.00% down to about 3.50%–3.75%. Investopedia+2NDTV Profit+2

US Economy News Today: Fed Rate Cut Looms as Inflation Sticks Near 3%, Layoffs Surge and Housing Begins a “Great Reset”

The United States economy heads into the final weeks of 2025 with a strange mix of strength and strain. Growth is holding up, stocks are near record highs and inflation has cooled sharply from its 2022 peak — but price pressures remain above the Federal Reserve’s target, layoffs have climbed to their highest level since the pandemic, and the national debt has blown past $38 trillion. Bureau of Economic Analysis+2Challenger Gray+2 At the center of it all: a pivotal Federal Reserve meeting this week, new Trump administration economic moves, and early signs that the overheated housing market may finally be starting a slow reset.

Asia Stock Market Today: Fed Nerves, China Policy Signals and Trade Jitters Drag Region Lower (9 December 2025)

Asian stocks mostly traded lower on Tuesday, 9 December 2025, as investors across the region hunkered down ahead of a widely expected US Federal Reserve rate cut and sifted through cautious policy signals from Beijing, Canberra and other key capitals. With Wall Street pulling back from record highs overnight and bond yields edging up again, risk appetite in Asia was fragile: broad regional gauges slipped, China and Hong Kong weakened, India extended losses after its steep fall on Monday, and even Southeast Asia’s outperformers eased off recent peaks. Japan was the major outlier, with the Nikkei holding modest gains despite lingering concerns after a powerful earthquake in the northeast. KSTP.com 5 Eyewitness News+2Reuters+2

  • Rolls-Royce Flags Defence Spending Tailwind, Bombardier Tie-Up and Board Changes
    July 3, 2026, 9:31 PM EDT. Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) is set to benefit from a boost in UK government defence spending, with focus on advanced warfare and propulsion tech. The company points to upside for its defence engines and support projects. Rolls-Royce struck a deal with Bombardier to step up aircraft engine monitoring. The board is bringing in new non-executive directors to strengthen governance. The stock is up 25.7% for the year, sitting 5.1% above analysts' targets and running 58.7% above estimated fair value, making valuation look stretched. Forecasts point to earnings dropping by 3.1% a year over the next three years, putting sustainability of recent gains in question. Investors are watching how defence contracts, the Bombardier partnership, and board moves will hit revenue, margins, and cash flow.
