EQT stock wobbles premarket as U.S. natural gas futures slide after weather-driven rally

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:06 ET — Premarket EQT Corp shares were last down about 0.5% in extended trading early Wednesday, tracking a pullback in U.S. natural gas futures. Investing.com+1 The move matters because producers’ revenue is tied to natural gas prices, which can swing sharply in winter as heating demand rises and falls with the weather. This week’s volatility has been amplified by strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand — LNG is natural gas cooled into a liquid for shipment — which can tighten the domestic market when export plants pull more fuel from U.S. pipelines. hellenicshippingnews.com

Newmont stock rebounds as gold steadies after CME margin jolt; Raymond James lifts target

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:23 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed up 2.1% at $101.86 on Tuesday, snapping back as gold prices recovered from a sharp early-week slide. The stock traded between $100.31 and $102.70 during the session. The rebound came after the CME said new performance bond (margin) requirements for metals futures would take effect after the close of business on Dec. 29 — a change that can force leveraged traders to cut positions. Investors also digested minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9–10 meeting, released Tuesday, that highlighted divisions after officials voted to lower rates

Arm stock edges higher as Fed minutes steer year-end tech trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:11 ET — Market closed Arm Holdings’ U.S.-listed sponsored ADRs (ARM.O) ended Tuesday up 0.32% at $110.86, a small gain in a choppy session that left the broader market slightly lower. MarketWatch+1 The muted move matters now because investors are recalibrating rate-sensitive growth exposure into year-end, after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting highlighted unusually sharp divisions over the path of policy.

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:52 ET — Market closed. Prologis Inc (PLD) shares closed up 0.4% at $129.01 on Tuesday, after trading between $128.24 and $129.14. Volume was about 1.8 million shares, according to market data. The modest move still matters for Prologis because real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to trade with interest-rate expectations. Higher bond yields can pressure valuations, while lower yields can make REIT dividends and property cash flows look more attractive. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting, released Tuesday, showed the quarter-point rate cut was “finely balanced,” as officials debated labor-market risks against

Chubb stock today: CB slips on Fed minutes, holds near a 52-week peak

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:46 ET — Market closed Chubb Limited shares ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors weighed fresh signals on where U.S. interest rates go next. The stock closed at $314.14, down about 0.1%. The move matters because insurers invest premium income largely in bonds, and shifting yields can change what new investments earn over time. Rate expectations also shape risk appetite late in the year, when liquidity can thin and price swings can look larger than usual. U.S. stocks finished modestly lower and Treasury yields edged up after the Federal Reserve released minutes of its

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 8:58 PM ET — Market closed Lumentum Holdings Inc. shares ended Tuesday down 0.4% at $371.19, as year-end trading stayed subdued and investors trimmed exposure to parts of the technology complex. markets.businessinsider.com The optical-components maker has become a high-beta way to trade demand tied to cloud and AI infrastructure, and thin liquidity late in the year can amplify swings.

MercadoLibre stock closes higher as year-end trading thins; Fed minutes keep rates in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:48 ET — Market closed MercadoLibre Inc (MELI) shares closed up 0.3% at $2,020.88 on Tuesday, after trading between $1,997.46 and $2,028.95. Volume was about 294,000 shares. The muted move mattered because liquidity has been thin into the year-end, and small shifts in rate expectations can swing the prices of higher-growth stocks. Investors often adjust what they are willing to pay for future earnings when interest rates move. That rate sensitivity stayed front and center after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting showed officials divided on how much more to cut in 2026.
