AI Bubble Fears Meet Record Highs: S&P 500 Near 7,000 as Big Tech’s AI Spending Surge Dominates December 26, 2025

Wall Street is closing out 2025 at record levels—and doing it while a louder debate simmers about whether artificial intelligence is building a durable foundation for the next decade of growth, or inflating the kind of expectations that tend to end in painful repricing.

Reuters But while equities took a breather, the real fireworks were in commodities: silver briefly surged above $75 an ounce for the first time, gold pushed past $4,500, and platinum
