Shanghai Stock Exchange Update (Dec. 21, 2025): Shanghai Composite Near 3,900 as Policy Watch Meets STAR Market AI-IPO Boom

The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) heads into the final full trading stretch of 2025 with two stories unfolding at once: a steadier, policy-sensitive main board and a turbo-charged STAR Market where “hard tech” listings—especially AI chipmakers—are setting the tone for risk appetite. As of Sunday, Dec. 21 (when the mainland market is closed), the latest official close for the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index is Friday’s session, when it rose 0.36% to 3,890.45. Xinhua News Shanghai Composite ends the week flat, with investors waiting for fresh signals Friday’s uptick helped steady the market after choppy trading earlier in the week. Reuters’

Tokyo Stock Exchange Outlook (Dec. 21, 2025): Nikkei 225 Futures Jump After BOJ Hike as IPOs, New TOPIX Indices and AI Tools Shape 2026

TOKYO — As Japan heads into the final full week of trading before year-end holidays, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is balancing three big forces at once: a higher-rate era after the Bank of Japan’s latest hike, fresh volatility tied to global AI enthusiasm (and occasional panic), and a steady drumbeat of market-structure changes—from IPO mechanics to new indices and AI-powered disclosure search. With Tokyo markets closed over the weekend, traders are using futures, FX, and bond moves to game out Monday’s open. One early clue: yen-denominated Nikkei 225 futures were last marked around 50,375 as of Sunday, Dec. 21

London Stock Exchange Update (Dec. 21, 2025): FTSE 100 Near Record, IPO Pipeline Signals a 2026 Test, and LSEG Leans Into AI

LONDON — Dec. 21, 2025 — The London Stock Exchange is heading into the final stretch of the year with a split-screen story that’s become very “2025”: the FTSE 100 is flirting with landmark levels after a strong year, while the city’s IPO pipeline is still trying to prove it can outrun the gravitational pull of New York. A fresh wave of UK market reforms—from a stamp duty holiday for new listings to a long-promised equities “consolidated tape”—is meant to make London feel more liquid, more competitive, and less bureaucratic.

Rocket Lab Stock (RKLB) Hits Record Close After $816M Space Force Deal as Electron Wraps 2025 With 21 Successful Launches

Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) stock is back in the spotlight as of Sunday, December 21, 2025, following a rapid-fire stretch of catalysts that tied together two things Wall Street loves: defense dollars and operational execution. The company’s shares surged to a record close of $70.52 on Friday, December 19, after news of its largest contract to date, and Rocket Lab then capped the weekend with an announcement that Electron finished 2025 with 21 launches and a 100% mission success rate.

Micron Technology (MU) Stock News and Forecasts on Dec. 21, 2025: Record Earnings, HBM “Sold Out,” and Wall Street’s New Price Targets

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) is heading into the final full week of 2025 with fresh momentum—and not the subtle kind. After a blockbuster fiscal first-quarter report and an even louder outlook for the February quarter, Micron stock closed at $265.92 on the latest available tape, capping a sharp, AI-fueled run that has put memory chips back at the center of the semiconductor narrative. Reuters The immediate catalyst is simple: Micron just printed record results and guided to another step-change higher. The deeper catalyst is more structural—and more controversial.

December 21, 2025 — GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ: GFS) stock is heading into the final stretch of the year with a familiar investor question hanging in the air: is this “boring but essential” chipmaker quietly building a better growth engine—or just treading water while the AI boom happens elsewhere? As of the latest available trade (markets are closed today, Sunday), GFS last traded around $36.63 with heavy recent volume, putting it near the middle of its 52-week range and keeping the company squarely in “watchlist” territory for investors who want semiconductor exposure outside the bleeding-edge race.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals RXRX Stock News and Forecasts on December 21 2025

Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock (NASDAQ: RXRX) heads into the week of December 21, 2025 with investors focused on one thing above all: whether newly released clinical data can turn Recursion’s long-running “AI drug discovery” promise into a credible, repeatable pipeline story that ultimately becomes commercial revenue. The near-term backdrop is noisy. RXRX has been highly volatile for years, and even now the share price sits far below its prior highs, a reality that shapes how every catalyst is interpreted.

CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV) closed Friday at $83.00, up about 22.6% on the session, after Citigroup resumed coverage with a Buy rating—but paired it with a “High Risk” label and a reduced price target that still implies meaningful upside from recent levels. Finviz+2Barron’s+2 The rally comes after a bruising second half of 2025. CoreWeave’s shares have been highly volatile since the company’s March public listing, and the stock has at times traded far below its mid-year highs as investors wrestle with a familiar AI-infrastructure paradox: demand looks enormous, but the buildout is capital-intensive, debt-heavy, and execution-sensitive.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) is heading into 2026 with a familiar mix of strengths and stress fractures: a fortress-scale commercial footprint and one of Big Pharma’s deepest development machines—paired with fading COVID-era revenue, looming loss-of-exclusivity headwinds, and heightened political pressure on U.S. drug pricing.

Updated: December 21, 2025 Tesla, Inc. stock is closing out the week near the top of its 52‑week range, but the story driving TSLA isn’t a simple “EV demand up or down” headline anymore.
