Global Stock Markets Today: S&P 500 and Nasdaq Slide on AI Funding Jitters as UK Shares Outperform (Updated 4:40 PM EST)

Updated 4:40 PM EST | December 17, 2025 Global stock markets ended a busy Wednesday with a clear split across regions: Wall Street sold off—led by tech—while the UK rallied on a fresh inflation surprise, and much of Asia finished firmer as China’s benchmarks advanced. Beneath the surface, investors are balancing three powerful forces heading into year-end: (1) renewed questions about the cost—and financing—of the AI buildout, (2) a sharp focus on delayed U.S. inflation data due Thursday, and (3) a geopolitical jolt in energy markets after the U.S. announced a “blockade” targeting sanctioned oil tankers linked to Venezuela.
