New York time check: It is 1:26 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025 in New York. Wall Street is back from the Christmas break for a single, full trading session — and the tone so far has been calm, cautious, and close to record territory. With many institutional desks already “done” for the year, volume is light and price moves can look deceptively small… right up until a sudden burst of buying or selling hits thin liquidity. That’s why today’s market is less about blockbuster headlines and more about how investors are positioning into the final stretch of 2025:

AP News+1 Why Planet Labs stock is down today A key catalyst circulating in market commentary: Zacks Research downgraded Planet Labs from “hold” to “strong sell.” Barchart.com+1 The rationale highlighted by syndication partners centers
