Inside a dim, long-abandoned control room at Ukraine’s Chornobyl (Chernobyl) nuclear power plant, the instrument panels are a reminder of a catastrophe the world still hasn’t finished cleaning up. Nearly four decades after the 1986 explosion and fire at Reactor 4—widely regarded as the worst civil nuclear accident in history—engineers are once again racing to prevent radioactive material from escaping, this time in the shadow of a modern war. Dawn+1 The new danger centers on the New Safe Confinement (NSC)—the massive, arched, steel-and-concrete structure built to cover the ruins of Reactor 4 and the older “sarcophagus” shelter erected hastily after

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 3:45 p.m. ET — Market Closed (Weekend) Shopify Inc. (SHOP) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with U.S. markets shut for the weekend and investors weighing a familiar mix: year-end positioning, macro headlines, and whether big-tech momentum can extend into the first week of 2026.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:46 p.m. ET, Market closed GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) stock heads into Monday’s session with two powerful, near-term narratives converging: a year-end market backdrop defined by light holiday volume and record-level index territory, and a company-specific calendar catalyst as GE trades ex-dividend on Monday, Dec. 29.
