Silver Price Today: Silver Breaks $65 to Record High as U.S. Unemployment Rate Hits 4.6%

December 17, 2025 — Silver surged to new all-time highs on Wednesday, powering past $65 an ounce for the first time as investors piled into precious metals on a potent mix of tight physical supply, heavy industrial demand, and renewed bets that interest-rate cuts are coming after softer U.S. labor-market data. Gold climbed alongside silver, while platinum and palladium extended a “white metals” rally that has gathered pace into year-end. Reuters Silver’s move is remarkable not just for the headline price, but for what it says about today’s market structure: the demand story is no longer only about safe-haven buying—it’s

Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALT) is back in the biotech spotlight on December 17, 2025—less because the company suddenly became “safe,” and more because it’s heading into the kind of binary stretch that turns small-cap biotech charts into roller coasters: a high-stakes clinical update is expected before year-end, leadership is changing hands, and Wall Street price targets remain dramatically spread out. Shares were indicated around $5.03 early Wednesday, after closing at roughly the same level on Tuesday (Dec. 16).

Diageo (DGE.L) Stock News Today: Guinness Maker Strikes $2.3bn Asahi Deal — What It Means for Diageo Shares on 17 December 2025

Diageo plc stock is firmly in the spotlight on 17 December 2025, after the Johnnie Walker and Guinness owner announced a major East Africa transaction that brings in fresh cash, reduces leverage, and reshapes how the group operates in the region. In a market that has been punishing global spirits makers for slowing demand (especially in the US and parts of Asia), Diageo’s decision to sell its controlling stake in East African Breweries (EABL) to Asahi is being read as more than a simple portfolio tweak. It’s a balance-sheet move, a “simplify the footprint” move, and—depending on your level of
