Dow Jones today: Tech pullback knocks the Dow down 249 points as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:51 ET — After-hours Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding 249.04 points, or 0.51%, to 48,461.93 as tech shares cooled after last week’s run-up. The S&P 500 fell 0.35% to 6,905.74 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.50% to 23,474.35. Reuters The timing matters because the market is heading into the final stretch of the year near record levels, when positioning and thin liquidity can magnify swings.

Strategy (MSTR) stock slips after-hours after SEC filing details fresh $108.8 million bitcoin buy

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares were last down 2.2% at $155.39 in after-hours trading on Monday after the company disclosed another bitcoin purchase funded by selling new shares. SEC The move matters because Strategy has positioned itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” tying its equity more tightly to bitcoin’s swings than most U.S. software stocks. Strategy Investors have also become more sensitive to dilution — when issuing new stock reduces existing shareholders’ ownership percentage — as Strategy continues to tap capital markets to accumulate the cryptocurrency.

Silver ETFs slide as silver retreats from $83 record, rattling late-year buyers

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET Silver-backed funds slid on Monday after the metal reversed from fresh records. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell to about $65 and Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) traded below $24, each down about 8% by 10:18 a.m. ET, according to market data.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 08:06 ET U.S. stock index futures slipped on Monday, opening the final holiday-shortened week of the year on a cautious note after the S&P 500 and Dow ended last week at record highs.

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:27 ET — Market closed PepsiCo shares ended slightly higher on Friday, last closing at $143.78, as investors moved through a muted post-Christmas session and looked ahead to a leadership handoff in the company’s North America business this weekend.
