Allied Gold slides 7% as gold pulls back from record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:07 ET — Regular session Allied Gold Corporation shares fell about 7.4% on Monday, tracking a broad pullback in precious metals. The stock was down $1.84 at $23.08 in afternoon trading after earlier touching $23.01. The move matters heading into the final sessions of the year, when holiday-thinned trading can amplify swings. Gold miners tend to react sharply when bullion reverses because earnings expectations often move faster than the metal price. Spot gold slid 4.5% to $4,330.79 an ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET after hitting a record $4,549.71 on Friday. “We are seeing profit-taking pullbacks

Coca-Cola stock today: KO rises as investors rotate to defensive staples in year-end pullback

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 15:05 ET — Regular session Shares of The Coca-Cola Company (KO) rose 0.5% to $70.19 in mid-afternoon trading on Monday, after moving between $69.86 and $70.41. The S&P 500 ETF was down about 0.3% at the same time. The relative strength matters now because Wall Street is entering the final, holiday-thinned stretch of 2025 with major indexes pulling back from last week’s record highs. When trading turns choppy and volumes dry up, investors often lean into defensive, dividend-paying names. Coca-Cola also sits at the intersection of that “defensive” trade and a more fundamental question for

XRP treads water near $1.85 as crypto fund outflows persist ahead of Fed minutes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:57 ET — Regular session XRP hovered near $1.85 on Monday, little changed after giving up earlier gains as trading stayed subdued late in the year. The token was last down 0.01% over the past 24 hours. CoinMarketCap The muted price action comes as investors continue to pull money from listed crypto investment products, a signal of still-fragile demand even as year-end approaches. Some corners of the market have held up better than others. CoinShares said digital-asset investment products recorded $446 million of outflows last week, taking withdrawals since an Oct. 10 price slide to

Silver ETF SLV slides as silver tumbles from $83 record high

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:35 ET — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell about 8.6% to $65.01 in afternoon trading on Monday, tracking a sharp reversal in silver after the metal briefly surged to a fresh record above $83 an ounce. The physically backed exchange-traded fund is designed to follow the LBMA Silver Price benchmark. Reuters+1 The move matters because silver is up about 150% this year, leaving positioning vulnerable as investors square books into year-end. When the metal swings, losses can quickly spill into silver-linked funds and mining shares. Reuters Traders cited profit-taking after the

Uber stock steadies in late-2025 market wobble as traders watch the next catalyst

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:09 ET — Regular session. Uber Technologies Inc. shares edged up 0.1% to $81.38 in afternoon trading on Monday, bucking a softer tape in the final week of the year. The stock traded between $80.61 and $82.19. The muted move matters now because liquidity is thin and many investors are rebalancing into year-end, making single-stock moves more sensitive to macro swings and sector rotation. For Uber, that backdrop comes as traders look for clarity on holiday-quarter demand and the legal headlines hanging over its subscription business. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were

Silver sinks from record highs as year-end profit-taking slams metals, oil climbs

Silver sinks from record highs as year-end profit-taking slams metals, oil climbs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:06 ET Gold and silver tumbled on Monday after touching record highs, as investors locked in gains in thin year-end trading. Spot gold fell 4.2% to $4,340.52 an ounce by 12:00 p.m. ET, while silver slid 8.4% to $72.51. The pullback matters because markets are heading into the final, holiday-shortened week of 2025 after a sharp late-year run in commodities and currencies. Traders have pushed precious metals to records on expectations of lower U.S. interest rates, which tend to support non-yielding assets like gold. With liquidity patchy around year-end, routine position trimming can move prices

Western Digital stock slips as investors digest its 303% 2025 rally

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:09 ET — Regular session Western Digital Corp (WDC.O) shares fell in Monday afternoon trading, slipping more than the broader market. The stock was down 1.0% at $179.68, after trading between $176.80 and $184.60, with about 1.9 million shares changing hands. The dip keeps attention on a stock that has become a proxy for the surge in data-center spending tied to artificial intelligence. Investors have chased storage suppliers on expectations that demand for capacity — and pricing for premium drives — stays firm into 2026. Barron’s said Western Digital is set to finish 2025 as

Why Goldman Sachs stock is weighing on the Dow in 2025’s final week

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:41 ET — Regular session Goldman Sachs shares slid on Monday, underperforming most big U.S. lenders and weighing on the Dow as year-end trading stayed choppy. The stock was down 1.1% at $896.74 in late-morning trade. The move mattered because markets are entering the final three sessions of the year with liquidity thin and investors quick to lock in gains or manage taxes.

UnitedHealth stock slips as WSJ flags Optum mail-order refills ahead of 2026 guidance

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:11 ET — Regular session UnitedHealth Group Incorporated shares edged lower on Monday after a Wall Street Journal investigation said mail-order pharmacies owned by major insurers, including UnitedHealth, dispensed billions of dollars of excess prescription drugs to Medicare patients. Wall Street Journal The report matters because it keeps a spotlight on Optum, UnitedHealth’s services arm, at a time when investors are focused on regulatory risk around Medicare and pharmacy practices and are looking for a clearer 2026 outlook from the company.

Silver drops from $80 peak as year-end profit-taking hits precious metals and miners

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:28 ET Silver tumbled from a fresh record high above $80 an ounce on Monday as investors locked in gains heading into the final days of 2025. Reuters The move matters now because precious metals have been among the year’s biggest winners, and the abrupt pullback underscores how quickly crowded trades can unwind in thin, holiday-affected markets. Reuters+1 Traders are recalibrating positions ahead of the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes and amid shifting headlines on Ukraine, both of which have recently shaped demand for haven assets and broader risk appetite.

Dow slips from record close as tech rally cools in year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:30 ET — Regular session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped on Monday as heavyweight technology shares gave back some of last week’s gains, pulling the blue-chip index off its recent highs. By 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow was down 66.86 points, or 0.14%, at 48,645.62. Reuters The move matters because the final week of the year typically brings lighter trading volume, which can exaggerate swings. U.S. markets will be closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, and traders expect holiday-affected conditions to keep activity thin. Reuters Investors have also been eyeing whether the late-year

Alphabet slips as year-end tech rally pauses; Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:06 ET — Regular session Alphabet’s Class C shares (GOOG.O) fell about 0.7% to $312.80 in early Monday trading, giving back ground as U.S. tech stocks eased at the start of the final week of the year. The move matters now because Alphabet is one of the largest U.S. companies by market value, and small swings in mega-cap tech can tug broader indexes in holiday-thinned trade. Investors have leaned heavily on AI-linked technology winners in 2025, making positioning vulnerable to profit-taking. Reuters Rate expectations are also back in focus.
