New Zealand Stock Market Today (26 December 2025): NZX Closed for Boxing Day — Key News, Forecasts and What to Watch Before the Next Open

The New Zealand stock market will not open today, Friday 26 December 2025, because the NZX is closed for Boxing Day. The last trading session was the abbreviated Christmas Eve session on Wednesday 24 December, and the next time most investors can act on fresh headlines in local equities is when trading resumes after the holiday break.  NZX Announcements Even with the market shut, today still matters: U.S. markets reopen later (New Zealand time), commodities have been moving in thin year‑end liquidity, and several domestic macro and company-specific developments from the past week are likely to shape positioning when NZ shares trade again.

NVIDIA (NVDA) Stock: Key News, Catalysts, Forecasts, and Risks to Watch Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) heads into Friday’s Dec. 26, 2025 session with two narratives pulling at the stock at the same time: fresh, headline-driven momentum around inference and deal-making—plus a still-evolving policy story on China shipments—against a backdrop of investors debating how long the AI capex cycle can stay “bigger than expected.” After U.S. markets closed for Christmas Day on Dec. 25 and reopened on Dec. 26, NVDA is set up for a post-holiday session where liquidity can be thinner, price moves can look exaggerated, and “single headline risk” can matter more than usual.

NEW YORK — Dec. 25, 2025 — Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is closing out 2025 with a very different narrative than the one investors grew used to over the past decade: momentum.

MarketBeat That price action matters because 2025 has increasingly been framed on Wall Street as “the Citi comeback year,” driven by a combination of turnaround execution, improving sentiment toward large U.S. banks, and—critically—fresh signs that Citi’s

McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) News on Dec. 25, 2025: Christmas Day Hours, 2026 Value Rules, and Wall Street Forecasts

McDonald’s Corporation heads into Christmas Day 2025 with two storylines dominating the headlines: the practical question of which restaurants are open today, and the higher-stakes strategic shift now looming for 2026—new global franchising standards designed to sharpen “value leadership” across the system. For consumers, the takeaway is straightforward: many McDonald’s locations are open on Christmas Day, but operating hours are largely a franchise decision and can vary sharply by store. Axios For investors, the conversation is broader. The company is preparing to tighten accountability around value outcomes starting January 1, 2026, while analysts’ price targets cluster in the low-to-mid $300s
