DRDGOLD stock rebounds in premarket as gold bounces ahead of Fed minutes

DRDGOLD stock rebounds in premarket as gold bounces ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:13 ET — Premarket DRDGOLD Limited (DRD) rose 4.4% to $31.89 in premarket trading on Tuesday, clawing back some ground after the stock closed down 8.4% on Monday at $30.54. The shares hit an intraday low of $30.23 in the prior session, according to StockAnalysis data. The snapback matters now because DRDGOLD trades like a high-octane proxy for the gold price, and bullion just put in a rare, sharp reversal into year-end. When the metal whipsaws, miners with outsized exposure to spot moves can swing even harder. The next catalyst sits squarely on the macro

Visa stock slips in thin year-end trade as investors brace for Fed minutes

Visa stock slips in thin year-end trade as investors brace for Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:26 ET — Regular session Visa Inc shares slipped on Tuesday as the payments giant tracked a softer tone in U.S. equities heading into the final days of the year. At 11:26 a.m. ET, Visa stock was down 0.2% at $353.83. The move matters now because year-end flows can exaggerate modest price changes, with funds rebalancing portfolios and traders trimming risk into a holiday-shortened week. Visa is often treated as a proxy for consumer activity because it earns fees when cardholders spend, making investors sensitive to shifts in rate expectations that can ripple through spending

GE Vernova stock today: Why GEV is holding near $665 as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 11:25 ET — Regular session GE Vernova Inc. shares were up about 0.2% at $664.52 in morning trade on Tuesday. The stock has traded between $660.91 and $667.99 so far in the session. The power-equipment maker has become a high-profile way to play rising electricity demand tied to data centers and grid spending. That has put the stock in a high-valuation cohort where shifts in interest-rate expectations can drive day-to-day moves. U.S. stocks edged lower in thin holiday trading, with investors waiting for minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due later Tuesday. “I

The muted move came in a holiday-shortened week marked by light trading volumes, with U.S. markets closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. “I wouldn’t try to make too much out of anything that happens in a holiday-shortened week,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth.

Silver ETF SLV hit its worst day in five years — then bounced back as China export rules and margin hikes bite

Silver ETF SLV hit its worst day in five years — then bounced back as China export rules and margin hikes bite

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:52 ET The iShares Silver Trust, the biggest U.S. silver-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), fell about 7% on Monday in its steepest one-day drop in five years as silver prices retreated from record highs. SLV was up about 4% in Tuesday trading, a sign that volatility has not left a market that has surged through year-end. The swings matter because ETFs such as SLV have become a main channel for retail investors to trade silver without storing the metal. Sharp reversals can force fast exits in crowded trades, especially late in the year when liquidity is

Robinhood stock slips today after Needham trims target — traders eye 4:05 p.m. activity update

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:38 ET — Regular session Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) shares fell 0.7% to $116.64 by 10:38 a.m. ET on Tuesday, with the stock trading between $116.14 and $118.06. The move comes as investors look for fresh signals on retail trading demand into year-end, with Robinhood expected to publish a December activity snapshot after the closing bell. Needham lowered its price target on Robinhood to $135 from $145 while reiterating a Buy rating, citing expectations that crypto trading volumes stay weak for the next couple of quarters.

Why Caterpillar stock is slipping today: AI data-center power bets meet year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:59 ET — Regular session Caterpillar, Inc. shares dipped on Tuesday, down about 0.2% at $577.21, as U.S. stocks edged lower in thin year-end trading. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all slightly in the red, with investors also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes — the detailed record of its latest policy discussion. Reuters The modest move matters because Caterpillar has become a crowded way to express a bigger market theme: rising power demand from AI data centers, and what that means for industrial suppliers. That narrative has helped broaden the stock’s investor

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:16 ET — Regular session Advanced Micro Devices shares edged down about 0.3% to $214.97 in early trade on Tuesday, after opening at $216.00 and moving between $214.76 and $216.54. The stock’s drift lower came as Wall Street opened subdued, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq little changed after a tech-led pullback the prior session.

Nvidia Stock Slips After $5 Billion Intel Stake Filing as Traders Weigh Its Next AI Bet

Nvidia Stock Slips After $5 Billion Intel Stake Filing as Traders Weigh Its Next AI Bet

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:05 ET — Regular session Shares of Nvidia (NVDA.O) slipped on Tuesday after Intel disclosed in a regulatory filing that Nvidia completed a $5 billion purchase of Intel stock in a private placement. Nvidia was down 0.2% at $187.89, while Intel (INTC.O) rose 1.5% to $37.24. Intel The filing matters because it tightens the relationship between the dominant supplier of AI accelerators and a chipmaker still deeply embedded in PCs and data centers.
