Stock Market 16 December 2025

On June 23, 2026, global markets saw significant volatility, especially in technology and semiconductor sectors. South Korea’s KOSPI index plunged 9.99%, its steepest drop in over three months, as investors sold off chipmakers following a record AI rally and regulatory warnings. This selloff spread to Europe and the U.S., with Nasdaq 100 futures down over 2% and S&P 500 futures falling 1.33% before the Wall Street open. Semiconductor stocks worldwide declined sharply, and concerns about debt-fueled AI spending and rate risks weighed on sentiment. Intel dropped about 8% in premarket trading, while Super Micro fell 6.3% after a strong previous session. IBM bucked the trend, rising over 3% on news of an OpenAI cyber-defense deal and new quantum-computing orders. Microsoft gained 1.1% premarket after a prior decline, amid attention on Chevron’s AI data center power deal and ongoing concerns about AI infrastructure costs. Tianci International surged 73.2% premarket after reporting more than doubled revenue and a swing to positive net income. Catheter Precision rose on news of new patents and a sports partnership. Ridgetech jumped 68.6% premarket with heavy volume. Ondas reported over $40 million in June defense orders but traded lower. Infleqtion rose after forming a U.S. quantum-space coalition, though it remains early-stage and loss-making. SOFI slipped 2.3% after Bullish listed its stablecoin, while Space Exploration Technologies Corp. continued to struggle, dropping below its IPO price and losing about $400 billion in market cap. Oil prices fell sharply as the Strait of Hormuz reopened, with WTI crude down nearly 10% for the week.

  • Oil Prices Drop Amid Strait of Hormuz Reopening; Stocks Near Record Highs
    June 23, 2026, 8:29 AM EDT. Oil prices have fallen sharply, with WTI crude down nearly 10% this week to $76.60 per barrel, and gas prices dipping below $4 a gallon, following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has surged about 9% since the Iran conflict began, buoyed by optimism around artificial intelligence developments. However, analysts caution that markets may be overly optimistic, as shipping traffic through the strait remains limited and risks such as a potential cessation of the 60-day ceasefire or logistical challenges could disrupt oil flows again. Traders also remain wary of the Federal Reserve's future interest rate moves, with the possibility of hikes resuming as early as September.
