Nasdaq Today (Dec. 3, 2025): Tech Stocks Slip as Wall Street Hovers Near Record Highs

The Nasdaq Composite spent Wednesday drifting around the flat line, as weakness in mega‑cap technology stocks offset big gains in select AI, biotech and retail names. With the index still sitting just a few percent below its record high, investors are weighing weak jobs data against growing confidence that the Federal Reserve will cut rates at its December meeting. indexes.nasdaqomx.com+2heygotrade.com+2

Microsoft Stock (MSFT) on December 3, 2025: AI Quota Shock, New Dividend, and Wall Street’s $630 Price Target

Constellation Energy (CEG) Stock: Latest News on DOE Loan, Calpine Deal and AI Power Boom — November 29, 2025

BALTIMORE — Constellation Energy Corporation remains one of Wall Street’s most-watched utility names as of Saturday, November 29, 2025, with its share price hovering just below record highs and a stack of fresh catalysts: a $1 billion U.S. government loan to restart a nuclear reactor at the former Three Mile Island site, progress toward closing its $26.6 billion acquisition of Calpine, and still-surging demand from AI data centers and electrification.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
