Western Digital stock today: WDC slips after year-end drop as New Year’s Day shuts markets

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:26 ET — Market closed Western Digital shares fell 2.2% to $172.27 in the final U.S. session of 2025, underperforming a broader market pullback before New Year’s Day closed Wall Street. The NYSE and Nasdaq are shut on Thursday and are set to reopen on Friday. MarketWatch The move came as U.S. stocks ended the year’s last session lower, with investors trimming risk in thin holiday trading. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, as markets headed into 2026 with a heavy

Natural gas price today: U.S. futures sink on light storage draw, dragging UNG and EQT after hours

Natural gas price today: U.S. futures sink on light storage draw, dragging UNG and EQT after hours

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:35 PM ET — After-hours U.S. natural gas prices slid sharply on Wednesday after a smaller-than-expected storage withdrawal and warmer temperature forecasts pushed front-month futures to a two-month low. Natural gas-linked stocks were mixed in after-hours trading, led lower by the commodity-tracking United States Natural Gas Fund. Barchart.com The move matters because winter demand is typically the market’s stress test. A light pull from underground storage suggests supply remains comfortable, which can quickly pressure prices and the share prices of gas-focused producers. BOE Report+1 It also lands at a delicate moment for positioning. LNG —

Gold price today: GLD slips after hours as CME margin hike adds to year-end volatility

Gold price today: GLD slips after hours as CME margin hike adds to year-end volatility

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:30 ET — After-hours Gold-linked exchange-traded funds eased in U.S. after-hours trading on Wednesday as bullion drifted lower into the final hours of the year. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) was down 0.6% at $396.31. The late dip matters because gold has become one of 2025’s defining trades, and the last week has seen unusually sharp swings. A fresh increase in futures margin requirements — the cash collateral traders must post to hold leveraged positions — has added to the pressure. CME Group+2CME Group+2 Investors are also recalibrating interest-rate expectations after Federal Reserve minutes showed deep

Vanda (VNDA) stock jumps 28% after FDA approves Nereus motion-sickness drug

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:38 ET — Regular session Vanda Pharmaceuticals shares jumped 28.1% to $9.01 at 1:38 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Nereus (tradipitant) to prevent vomiting induced by motion. Vanda said the oral drug is a neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist — meaning it blocks a receptor involved in nausea signaling — and called it the first new pharmacologic motion-sickness treatment in more than four decades. In late-stage Phase 3 trials — the final stage before approval — vomiting rates were about 10%–20% on Nereus versus 38%–44% on

Gold price today slips as CME margin hike spurs profit-taking — GLD and gold stocks edge lower

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:27 ET — Regular session Spot gold slid on Wednesday as year-end positioning and tighter trading conditions pressured bullion after a blockbuster run. Spot gold was down 0.6% at $4,321.63 an ounce by 12:26 p.m. ET, while U.S. gold futures for February delivery fell 1.1% to $4,335.40. Reuters The retreat matters now because it is being driven less by a single macro headline and more by how traders are managing risk into the close of the year. Prices have eased as traders booked profits after CME raised margins again on precious metal futures, Reuters reported.

Transocean stock today nudges higher in premarket after Australia drilling update

Transocean stock today nudges higher in premarket after Australia drilling update

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:57 ET — Premarket Transocean Ltd shares (RIG) were up 0.2% in premarket trading on Wednesday at $4.14 after closing at $4.13 in the previous session. The offshore driller is trading near the top of its 52-week range and has a market value of about $4.55 billion. Google The move matters because offshore drillers sit downstream of oil-company budgets, and year-end price signals often shape spending plans for the next cycle. Investors tend to treat small-cap drillers as a high-beta bet on whether crude prices can stabilize and keep multi-year projects moving. Oil prices were

SoFi stock dips in premarket as thin year-end trading keeps investors cautious

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:33 ET — Premarket SoFi Technologies Inc (SOFI.O) shares were down about 0.7% at around $26.37 in premarket trading, MarketWatch data showed. (MarketWatch) The move comes on the final trading day of 2025, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day and volumes expected to remain light. (Reuters) That matters because thin liquidity can amplify day-to-day swings, especially in “high-beta” stocks — shares that tend to move more than the overall market. SoFi closed Tuesday at $26.56, down nearly 1% on the day, according to historical pricing data. (StockAnalysis) The stock has now

MARA stock steadies in premarket after share-registration filing, with bitcoin near $89,000

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 08:04 ET — Premarket MARA Holdings, Inc. shares edged up 0.1% to $9.34 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the bitcoin miner filed to register new shares for employee compensation. Investing.com+1 The filing matters now because MARA and its peers often trade as high-beta proxies for bitcoin, and liquidity can be thin into year-end, amplifying moves on small shifts in risk appetite. MEXC “Year-end de-risking, record ETF outflows, and thin holiday liquidity are keeping the market subdued,” said Wintermute strategist Jasper de Mare in a note on Tuesday.

Grab stock dips before the bell on final trading day of 2025 — what GRAB investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 07:24 ET — Premarket Grab Holdings Limited shares slipped in premarket trading on Wednesday, tracking a softer tone across U.S. equity futures on the final trading day of 2025. The Nasdaq-listed stock was down about 0.8% at $5.07. The move lands as investors head into a holiday-thinned session, with U.S. stock index futures edging lower and markets set to be closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Traders have been assessing how far 2025’s risk rally can extend into 2026, with the Federal Reserve’s rate path still a central swing factor for growth stocks. Reuters

Oriental Rise (ORIS) stock jumps premarket after Daguan Tea acquisition LOI

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 05:13 ET — Premarket Shares of Oriental Rise Holdings Limited jumped 36.9% to $1.67 in premarket trading on Wednesday after the China-based tea supplier said it signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a controlling equity interest in Hubei Daguan Tea Industry Group. Public+1 The proposed move matters now because it aims at a pressure point for food-and-beverage producers: securing reliable inputs while controlling costs. Oriental Rise pitched the deal as part of a “vertical integration” strategy—owning more steps of the supply chain, from cultivation and processing to downstream sales—to improve margins over time.

EQT stock wobbles premarket as U.S. natural gas futures slide after weather-driven rally

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:06 ET — Premarket EQT Corp shares were last down about 0.5% in extended trading early Wednesday, tracking a pullback in U.S. natural gas futures. Investing.com+1 The move matters because producers’ revenue is tied to natural gas prices, which can swing sharply in winter as heating demand rises and falls with the weather. This week’s volatility has been amplified by strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand — LNG is natural gas cooled into a liquid for shipment — which can tighten the domestic market when export plants pull more fuel from U.S. pipelines. hellenicshippingnews.com

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:53 PM ET — Market closed Honeywell International Inc shares slipped 0.37% on Tuesday to close at $196.36. The stock traded between $195.41 and $197.58, with about 1.9 million shares changing hands, while GE Aerospace rose 0.07%. Yahoo Finance+1 The move comes as investors keep a close eye on industrial names into year-end, when thin trading can amplify modest headlines. For Honeywell, steady defense and aerospace activity remains a key demand pillar. Broadly, stocks ended slightly lower in choppy, holiday-thin trade after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting showed policymakers debating risks around the
