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

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

Bitcoin drifts near $87,000 as year-end outflows linger and crypto stocks slip

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:51 ET — Regular session bitcoin eased on Monday, hovering near $87,330, down about 0.3% in afternoon trade. The token earlier touched $90,247 before sliding to a session low of $86,780. The quiet move still matters heading into year-end, when thinner liquidity can amplify swings in volatile assets. U.S. stocks also traded lower, while the dollar hovered near a three-month low as investors bet on more Federal Reserve rate cuts next year, Reuters reported. Reuters Traders have been watching whether institutional demand stabilizes after weeks of withdrawals from crypto investment vehicles. That flow picture has

XRP price today dips as CoinShares data show fresh inflows into XRP funds despite broader crypto outflows

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:11 ET — Regular session XRP slipped 0.5% to $1.85 on Monday after CoinShares said XRP-linked investment products took in $70.2 million last week, bucking $446 million of net outflows from digital-asset funds. Bitcoin was little changed around $87,494 and ether hovered near $2,932. CoinShares The flow data matters because it points to selective buying of large “altcoins” — smaller tokens beyond bitcoin — even as investors continue to pull money from the wider crypto fund complex into year-end. That split can amplify price swings in thin holiday markets, when a relatively small order can

Dow slides as tech gives back gains into year-end, Fed minutes ahead

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:59 ET — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday afternoon as investors pared back positions in technology-linked names and banks in the final trading days of 2025. The move matters because year-end rebalancing and lighter holiday liquidity can amplify swings, with U.S. markets set to close on Thursday for New Year’s Day. The pullback also tests hopes for a “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal stretch when stocks often rise over the last five sessions of the year and the first two of the next — after major indexes pushed toward

IonQ fell about 1.8%, while Rigetti and Quantum Computing Inc slid about 2.8% and 2.6%, respectively. The move keeps D-Wave in focus as investors reassess a corner of the market that has produced outsized gains and abrupt pullbacks. The stock is up about 205% year-to-date but down about 4.6% over the past week, according to Finviz. Finviz With only a few sessions

Salesforce stock holds up as year-end tech pullback hits AI bellwethers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:47 ET — Regular session Salesforce shares were little changed in midday trading on Monday, holding near $266 as technology and AI-linked stocks pulled back in the final week of 2025. The muted move in the enterprise-software bellwether comes as investors lock in gains and rebalance portfolios during a holiday-shortened stretch when thin liquidity can amplify market swings. Reuters Traders are watching Federal Reserve meeting minutes and a weekly reading of U.S. jobless claims for clues on 2026 rate expectations, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day.

Visa stock slips with market ahead of New Year’s data and rates test

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:28 ET — Regular session Visa Inc shares edged lower on Monday as U.S. stocks slipped in year-end trading, with investors focused on interest rates and the near-term path for consumer spending. Visa was down about 0.2% at $354.19 by 12:28 p.m. ET, after trading between $354.00 and $356.54 earlier in the session. The moves matter for Visa because investors often treat payment networks as a real-time read on household demand. A softer macro backdrop can quickly feed through to card spending and travel volumes, while shifting rate expectations can sway valuations across large-cap growth

Silver breaks $80 then tumbles nearly 8% as precious-metals rally stalls

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:03 ET Silver prices slid sharply on Monday after a frenzied rally pushed the metal above $80 an ounce and to a record intraday high. Reuters The retreat matters because silver’s surge has been one of the biggest across major commodities this year and has pulled other metals to fresh highs, before profit-taking set in. Reuters The selloff comes as markets head into the final days of the year with holiday-thinned trading, which can exacerbate price swings. Reuters Spot silver was down 7.9% at $72.87 per ounce by 9:57 a.m. ET, off a record $83.62

Aeroméxico stock steadies before NYSE open as oil jumps and futures dip

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 07:18 ET — Premarket Grupo Aeroméxico’s U.S.-listed shares were indicated flat ahead of Monday’s open, last at $22.91 after a 3.29% jump on Friday. StockAnalysis The move matters because Aeroméxico is a relatively new U.S. listing, and thin, year-end trading can exaggerate price swings for recently listed stocks. Reuters+1 Airlines are also tightly linked to energy markets. Jet fuel is typically one of the biggest operating expenses, so rising oil prices can pressure airline shares.

Chevron stock eyes oil’s rebound as traders await U.S. inventory data

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:14 ET — Market closed. Chevron (CVX.N) shares last settled down 0.32% at $150.02 on Friday, as investors headed into the final week of the year with crude prices rebounding early Monday after weekend geopolitical headlines. Nasdaq+1 The move matters because Chevron, like other integrated oil majors, often trades with crude prices, especially when company-specific news is scarce and year-end liquidity is thin. Oil benchmarks rose in early trading, setting up energy shares for a macro-driven open once U.S. equities reopen later Monday. Reuters Chevron ended Friday at $150.02, down 48 cents, after trading between

HFCL jumps 10% on heavy volumes even as MarketsMojo keeps “Strong Sell” callNEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:11 ET

HFCL Ltd shares jumped about 10% in early trade on Monday, with the Indian telecom-equipment company drawing heavy turnover after weeks of weakness. MarketsMojo said the stock hit an intraday high of 67.66 rupees. Markets Mojo The move matters because HFCL has been trading close to its 52-week low, making any sharp rebound stand out during thin year-end sessions.
