Silver price today: SLV tumbles as CME margin hike spurs year-end shakeout

Silver price today: SLV tumbles as CME margin hike spurs year-end shakeout

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:30 PM ET — After-hours Spot silver fell sharply on Wednesday and the main silver-linked U.S. ETF slid, as traders booked profits into year-end and braced for higher collateral requirements in futures markets. Investing The timing matters. Silver has been one of 2025’s standout trades, and leverage has piled into the rally as liquidity thins around holidays and portfolio managers close their books. That can turn routine selling into outsized moves. Reuters The latest drop also tests how much of the year’s run-up was driven by fundamentals versus momentum. Silver’s blend of safe-haven and industrial

JPMorgan stock slips on final trading day of 2025 as banks lag; what to watch next

JPMorgan stock slips on final trading day of 2025 as banks lag; what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:35 ET — After-hours JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) shares were down about 0.3% at $322.22 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after a softer finish in the regular session. The stock traded between $322.13 and $324.82 on the day. The year-end dip mattered less for the biggest U.S. bank than what comes next: interest-rate expectations and the opening stretch of the 2026 economic calendar. Banks tend to track the bond market because shifts in rates can change loan margins and funding costs. JPMorgan is scheduled to release fourth-quarter and full-year results on Tuesday, Jan. 13,

Chevron stock barely budges as oil ends 2025 under pressure; OPEC+ in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:21 ET — Regular session Chevron Corporation shares were little changed in afternoon trading on Wednesday, down 0.03% at $152.27. The stock traded between $151.68 and $152.54, while peer Exxon Mobil fell about 0.6%. The muted move comes as oil heads toward its biggest annual drop since 2020, keeping a tight grip on big integrated producers such as Chevron. Brent was around $61 a barrel and U.S. WTI near $58, according to Reuters. Reuters Analysts have warned that supply could outstrip demand in 2026, with some forecasting more downside early next year before prices stabilize.

Alignment Healthcare stock rises today despite new insider-sale filings, with ALHC near $20

Alignment Healthcare stock rises today despite new insider-sale filings, with ALHC near $20

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:50 ET — Regular session Alignment Healthcare, Inc. shares rose about 3.4% to $19.90 in mid-afternoon trading on Wednesday, after earlier touching $19.93 as the stock fluctuated between $18.83 and $19.93. The move came as investors weighed a cluster of insider-transaction disclosures that can shape sentiment in smaller healthcare names, especially in thin year-end markets. Liquidity has been patchy heading into the New Year holiday, a setup that can magnify price swings. “Profit-taking opportunities” tend to show up “when liquidity was low,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity.

Bloom Energy stock slips today after Clear Street lifts target but sticks with a Hold

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 3:06 PM ET — Regular session Bloom Energy (BE.N) shares fell about 1% on Wednesday after Clear Street raised its price target — an analyst’s estimate of where a stock could trade over the next 12 months — to $58 from $50 but reiterated a Hold rating, a neutral call.

Endeavour Silver stock falls in New York trade as silver rout hits miners ahead of China export curbs

Endeavour Silver stock falls in New York trade as silver rout hits miners ahead of China export curbs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:17 ET — Regular session Endeavour Silver Corp (NYSE: EXK) shares fell 2.7% to $9.54 in early afternoon New York trading on Wednesday. The stock traded between $9.42 and $9.89, with about 9.3 million shares changing hands. The move highlights how quickly sentiment can shift for silver-linked stocks into year-end, after a blockbuster run in the metal. For miners, day-to-day swings in bullion can feed straight through to revenue expectations and risk appetite. A fresh jump in trading costs helped set the tone. CME Group raised margin requirements on gold and silver futures for the

Costco stock slips in year-end session as traders eye Jan. 7 sales update for COST

Costco stock slips in year-end session as traders eye Jan. 7 sales update for COST

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:14 ET — Regular session Costco Wholesale Corporation shares were slightly lower on Wednesday as Wall Street eased in the final trading session of 2025. The muted move matters because Costco is closely watched as a bellwether for value-focused spending and membership-driven retail, especially heading into fresh monthly sales data in early January. It also comes during thin holiday trading, when smaller orders can have an outsized impact on prices and investors reposition ahead of the New Year’s market break. Costco shares were down $1.28, or about 0.1%, at $864.37 in afternoon trading. The stock

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY slips as China Mounjaro cuts and U.S. pricing reset draw focus

Eli Lilly stock today: LLY slips as China Mounjaro cuts and U.S. pricing reset draw focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:48 ET — Regular session Eli Lilly shares edged lower on Wednesday as investors weighed new signals that blockbuster diabetes and obesity drugs are heading into 2026 with lower price tags in some markets. The stock was down 0.1% at $1,078.95 by 1:48 p.m. ET, after trading between $1,076.86 and $1,083.25. The pricing debate matters for Lilly because its growth story is dominated by GLP-1 drugs, a class of diabetes and obesity treatments that mimic a gut hormone to curb appetite and lower blood sugar. Moves that broaden access can lift volumes, but price cuts

Sandisk stock today: SNDK dips as company sets Jan. 29 earnings date

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:52 ET — Regular session Sandisk Corp shares were down 1.1% at $237.64 on Wednesday, after the flash-memory maker set Jan. 29 for its fiscal second-quarter results as year-end trading stayed thin. The stock has ranged from $235.54 to $241.69, while peers Western Digital, Micron Technology and Seagate Technology also traded lower and the broader market drifted modestly down. The timing matters because Sandisk has been one of 2025’s biggest winners, rising nearly 600% since returning to the market after being spun off from Western Digital earlier this year and joining the S&P 500 in

Micron stock slips today as China’s CXMT targets $4.2 billion DRAM IPO

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:00 ET — Regular session Micron Technology, Inc. shares were down about 1.8% at $287.35 in late-morning New York trading on Wednesday. The stock has ranged from $284.45 to $293.91 so far in the session, with about 9.2 million shares traded. The move matters now because Micron has become a high-sensitivity bet on memory pricing, where profits can swing quickly when supply or demand shifts. After a sharp run this year, investors have shown less tolerance for headlines that hint at fresh capacity. Micron has been among the strongest S&P 500 performers in 2025, with

XPeng stock slides 6% today as Chinese EV shares retreat in thin year-end trade

XPeng stock slides 6% today as Chinese EV shares retreat in thin year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:11 ET — Regular session XPeng Inc’s U.S.-listed shares slid about 6% on Wednesday, down 6.0% at $19.99 by 11:11 a.m. ET. The late-year session often brings thinner liquidity, which can magnify moves in higher-risk names. For investors in Chinese EVs, the timing matters because fresh demand signals arrive in early January, when manufacturers typically publish monthly delivery figures and China rolls out updated consumer incentives. XPeng’s ADRs (American depositary receipts, the U.S.-traded version of its shares) opened at $20.50 and hit a low of $19.87 before paring losses. The stock traded as high as

Molina Healthcare stock rises again after Michael Burry touts insurer; Feb. 5 earnings in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 10:30 ET — Regular session Molina Healthcare Inc shares were up 2.1% at $174.33 by 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, after trading between $170.03 and $176.33 earlier in the session. The move matters because Molina has been highly sensitive to shifts in sentiment after cutting its 2025 profit outlook in October on higher medical costs, particularly in its Affordable Care Act marketplace business. “Approximately half of our underperformance is driven by the Marketplace business,” CEO Joseph Zubretsky said at the time.
