Eaton stock today: ETN slips as Wall Street cools in year-end trade — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:46 ET — Market closed Eaton Corporation plc shares closed down 0.22% at $321.45 on Monday, tracking a broader pullback on Wall Street as investors started the final week of 2025 with lighter risk appetite. Investing.com+1 The move matters now because trading volumes typically thin out into the year-end, making day-to-day swings more sensitive to broad index moves and positioning. Eaton, a large industrial seen as a beneficiary of electrification and data center buildouts, often trades as a proxy for that theme when there is little company-specific news. Reuters Investors have been quick to recalibrate

MercadoLibre (MELI) stock price today: Shares edge higher into Fed minutes as year-end trading thins

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:21 ET — Market closed MercadoLibre shares closed up about 0.4% on Monday at $2,014.97, a small gain that contrasted with declines in major U.S. stock indexes ahead of year-end.

Circle stock today: CRCL slips as year-end trading thins and prediction-market bets come into focus

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:41 ET — Market closed Circle Internet Group, Inc. shares ended down about 0.9% at $80.51 on Monday, after trading between $79.00 and $82.96 as volumes thinned in the final week of the year. The move matters because Circle is one of the most visible publicly traded plays on stablecoins — cryptocurrencies designed to hold a steady value, typically pegged to the U.S. dollar — and the stock has become sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and rates. Circle’s core earnings engine is reserve income, the interest generated on assets held against its USDC stablecoin.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:52 ET — After-hours Arista Networks shares ended up 1.75% at $134.15 on Monday and were last little changed in after-hours trading. Benzinga The gain stood out on a down day for U.S. equities, with the Nasdaq falling 0.50% and the S&P 500 down 0.35% at the close, according to Reuters. Investing.com That divergence matters in the final week of the year, when positioning and lighter liquidity can exaggerate moves in high-multiple growth stocks.

Binance’s $49B stablecoin pile grabs attention as $69B sits on exchanges

Binance’s $49B stablecoin pile grabs attention as $69B sits on exchanges

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 19:40 ET Stablecoins worth about $69 billion are sitting on centralized crypto exchanges, with roughly 71% concentrated on Binance, according to on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant. Source The concentration matters because stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to keep a steady value—often pegged to the U.S. dollar—and are widely used as cash-like collateral for trading. When those tokens sit on exchanges, traders can deploy them quickly into bitcoin or other assets. Large exchange balances can also amplify moves if sentiment turns and flows hit the market at once. CryptoQuant data cited by CryptoPotato showed total stablecoin supply reached

Bitcoin price today: BTC slips to $87K after $90K test as year-end flows weigh

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 17:08 ET — After-hours Bitcoin eased in late New York trade on Monday, slipping about 0.4% to $87,129 after an early jump above $90,000 fizzled. The retreat matters heading into the final three U.S. equity sessions of 2025, when thinner liquidity can amplify moves around big, round-number levels that many traders use as reference points. Reuters Markets are also resetting expectations for 2026 rate cuts, with investors awaiting Federal Reserve meeting minutes due Tuesday and watching whether year-end funding strains spill into risk assets such as crypto.

Gold price today: What just knocked gold, GLD and Newmont lower after record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 5:02 PM ET — After-hours Gold prices fell sharply on Monday, snapping back from record highs as investors took profits and risk controls tightened in futures trading. Spot gold fell 4.5% to $4,330.79 an ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET and U.S. gold futures for February delivery settled 4.6% lower at $4,343.60.

Silver whiplash slams PSLV as Sprott trust drops with bullion

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:05 ET — Regular session Units of Sprott Physical Silver Trust fell 7.6% to $24.05 in afternoon trading on Monday, tracking a sharp pullback in silver. The units swung between $25.32 and $23.41, with volume above 26 million. The move matters because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has turned bullion-linked funds into a high-beta macro trade heading into year-end. A fast reversal can prompt quick de-risking across products tied to the metal. An increase in margin requirements on U.S. metals futures added to the pressure. Margins are the cash deposits needed to hold leveraged futures positions,

Merck (MRK) stock holds steady as Wall Street cools into year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 3:12 PM ET — Regular session Merck & Co shares were little changed on Monday afternoon, up 0.01% at $106.79. The muted move mattered because investors have been shifting toward steadier corners of the market as 2025 winds down, a period that can amplify small price swings on lighter volumes. Health-care stocks largely held their ground, with the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF down 0.05%, as traders stayed selective in year-end positioning.

Circle (CRCL) stock slips today as prediction-market growth call collides with year-end trading

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:45 ET — Regular session Circle Internet Group, Inc. shares slipped on Monday, down about 0.8% at $80.62 in afternoon trading. The stock has moved between $78.96 and $82.96 so far in the session. The move matters now because Circle has become one of the market’s most direct listed bets on stablecoins — digital tokens designed to hold a steady value, typically by tracking the U.S. dollar. That ties investor expectations to both adoption trends in crypto payments and the path of U.S. interest rates. It also comes as investors parse where the next wave
