NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:42 PM ET — Market Closed U.S. equity markets are closed Sunday, leaving investors in rare metals stocks—from rare earths and graphite to lithium, antimony, silver, and platinum group metals—to digest a headline-heavy stretch that reshaped the near-term setup for the next trading session. The big picture going into Monday is a push-and-pull: a powerful precious-metals surge is lifting sentiment across parts of the mining complex, while fresh signals from China’s EV ecosystem are raising new questions about battery-metal demand in early 2026.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 12:37 p.m. ET — Market closed. U.S. stock markets are shut for the weekend, leaving semiconductor stocks in a familiar year-end spotlight: investors are weighing bullish AI-driven demand against fresh supply-chain strain and renewed questions about how durable the “AI trade” really is. With the next regular session set for Monday, Dec. 29, chipmakers and chip-linked ETFs are likely to take their cues from Sunday night futures and any new headlines on AI infrastructure spending, memory pricing, and Big Tech capex.

Natural Gas Prices Rise Again as Colder Forecasts Return — What Henry Hub, LNG Exports, Storage Data and Today’s Stock Market Mood Mean for Investors

Natural Gas Prices Rise Again as Colder Forecasts Return — What Henry Hub, LNG Exports, Storage Data and Today’s Stock Market Mood Mean for Investors

New York time check: It is 1:31 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025 in New York. U.S. natural gas is back in the spotlight as winter weather risk re-enters the conversation, even while Wall Street trades in a post-holiday lull near record highs. With U.S. equity benchmarks hovering close to all-time levels and trading volumes typically thinner during the last week of the year, natural gas has become one of the more reactive “macro micro” trades: a market driven by near-term temperature models, storage withdrawals, and LNG export flows—yet increasingly shaped by bigger structural debates about global LNG supply

December 25, 2025 — Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG) is ending 2025 with two storylines that rarely move in sync: fresh regulatory momentum for its single-port robotic platform and a renewed valuation debate as analysts model what the next wave of procedure growth could look like in 2026. With U.S. markets closed for Christmas Day, ISRG was last quoted around the $578 level at the December 24 close, setting the stage for the next major catalyst: Intuitive’s Q4 2025 earnings expected in late January.

December 25, 2025 (Thursday) — Applied Materials, Inc. is closing out the year with a familiar paradox: strong financial performance driven by AI-era semiconductor demand, paired with real policy-driven friction tied to U.S.-China export controls. With U.S. equity markets closed for Christmas Day and set to reopen Friday, December 26, investors are digesting a late-year stack of catalysts—earnings and guidance, export-rule impacts, analyst upgrades, and a fresh dividend declaration—while trying to map what “normal” looks like for semiconductor equipment in 2026.

Wells Fargo (WFC) News on Dec. 25, 2025: Options Clearing Expansion, Investment Banking Push, and 2026 Outlook After Asset Cap Lift

Wells Fargo (WFC) News on Dec. 25, 2025: Options Clearing Expansion, Investment Banking Push, and 2026 Outlook After Asset Cap Lift

As the U.S. banking sector heads into year-end, Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) is closing 2025 with a noticeably different narrative than the one investors and regulators have debated for much of the past decade: less about constraint, more about growth levers, fee momentum, and capital flexibility. The shift is being driven by a cluster of late-December developments—most notably a move into options clearing, an investment-banking hiring surge that has lifted the firm’s league-table standing, and a renewed focus on efficiency as CEO Charlie Scharf signals more workforce reductions in 2026.

December 24, 2025 — Adobe Inc.

Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Week Ahead: $14.50 BioMarin Buyout Puts the Deal Spread—and New Filings—Front and Center (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Week Ahead: $14.50 BioMarin Buyout Puts the Deal Spread—and New Filings—Front and Center (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOLD) is no longer trading like a “typical biotech story stock.” After BioMarin’s all-cash $14.50-per-share takeover agreement, FOLD has effectively become a deal-driven, merger-arbitrage name—meaning next week’s action is likely to hinge less on quarterly fundamentals and more on the probability, timing, and conditions of closing. SEC+1 FOLD last traded around $14.18 (near the offer price), reflecting how quickly the market repriced the shares after the announcement.

December 20, 2025 — Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.

Reuters+2BioMarin Corporate+2 On December 19, FOLD shares surged and closed at $14.18, just below the cash consideration—leaving a small spread that now reflects time to close, regulatory clearance, and deal risk rather than day-to-day biotech sentiment.

Real Estate Stocks Outlook for 2026: REITs, Homebuilders, and PropTech Reset After December Rate Cuts

Real Estate Stocks Outlook for 2026: REITs, Homebuilders, and PropTech Reset After December Rate Cuts

Dec. 20, 2025 — Real estate stocks are heading into 2026 with a familiar catalyst back in the driver’s seat: interest rates. After the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.5%–3.75% at its December meeting, investors are reassessing everything from REIT dividend durability to housing demand and refinancing risk. Federal Reserve But the story isn’t a simple “rates down, REITs up” trade. Mortgage costs remain stubbornly high by pre-2022 standards, housing affordability is still tight, and commercial real estate is navigating a split market where “prime” and “problem” properties are diverging sharply. Meanwhile,

December 17, 2025 — Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) is stepping into one of the most closely watched earnings prints in the semiconductor sector this quarter, as investors look for a clear read on two forces tugging the market in opposite directions: a powerful memory pricing upcycle and fresh anxiety about AI infrastructure spending discipline.
