Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Brace for Shutdown-Delayed Jobs Report and Retail Sales

Dec. 15, 2025 — Oracle Corporation is starting this week in a market mood that can best be described as “AI sobriety, with a side of whiplash.” Shares were trading around $190 on Monday after last week’s sharp selloff, as investors continue to digest two big storylines: Oracle’s surging AI/cloud backlog and the very real, very expensive infrastructure spending required to deliver it.

Oracle Stock Forecast (ORCL): AI Capex Shock, OpenAI Data-Center Headlines and Earnings Fallout — What to Watch Next Week (Updated Dec. 12, 2025)

Oracle Corporation had one of its most volatile weeks of 2025 after a mixed quarterly report collided with a surprise jump in AI infrastructure spending, sparking an unusually sharp selloff in both the stock and the company’s credit risk gauges. By Friday’s close, Oracle shares were down roughly 13% on the week, as investors re-priced a near-term “spend now, monetize later” strategy that management says is necessary to meet surging AI demand.

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Fed’s “Hawkish Cut,” Delayed Jobs & CPI, and Triple Witching Set Up a Volatile Mid-December

Wall Street heads into the week of Dec. 15–19, 2025 with a rare mix of cross-currents: a freshly delivered Federal Reserve rate cut, a market-wide rotation away from mega-cap AI winners, and—most importantly—a compressed “data dump” of delayed U.S. economic releases after a 43-day federal government shutdown disrupted reporting schedules.

December 12, 2025 — Oracle Corporation is at the center of today’s market conversation after a sharp post-earnings selloff reignited a bigger debate: how much AI infrastructure spending is “strategic investment,” and how much is starting to look like a balance-sheet stress test.

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.
