Southern Copper stock today: SCCO pares early jump as copper nears $13,000

Southern Copper stock today: SCCO pares early jump as copper nears $13,000

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:59 ET — Market closed Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) ended slightly higher on Tuesday, closing up 0.1% at $145.48. The shares swung between $145.34 and $149.33 after opening at $148.09. Copper prices stayed in focus after the metal edged toward $13,000 a metric ton in London, squeezed by mine disruptions and supply being pulled into the United States ahead of potential tariffs. “Tariff worries have encouraged buyers to front-load shipments into the U.S.,” SP Angel analyst John Meyer said in a note, referring to accelerated deliveries before possible duties; U.S. Comex prices were also trading
Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

Prologis stock ticks up as Fed minutes sharpen rate watch heading into New Year’s Eve session

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:52 ET — Market closed. Prologis Inc (PLD) shares closed up 0.4% at $129.01 on Tuesday, after trading between $128.24 and $129.14. Volume was about 1.8 million shares, according to market data. The modest move still matters for Prologis because real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to trade with interest-rate expectations. Higher bond yields can pressure valuations, while lower yields can make REIT dividends and property cash flows look more attractive. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting, released Tuesday, showed the quarter-point rate cut was “finely balanced,” as officials debated labor-market risks against
Chubb stock today: CB slips on Fed minutes, holds near a 52-week peak

Chubb stock today: CB slips on Fed minutes, holds near a 52-week peak

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:46 ET — Market closed Chubb Limited shares ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors weighed fresh signals on where U.S. interest rates go next. The stock closed at $314.14, down about 0.1%. The move matters because insurers invest premium income largely in bonds, and shifting yields can change what new investments earn over time. Rate expectations also shape risk appetite late in the year, when liquidity can thin and price swings can look larger than usual. U.S. stocks finished modestly lower and Treasury yields edged up after the Federal Reserve released minutes of its

Analog Devices stock slips as year-end tech dip cools semis; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:49 ET — Market closed. Analog Devices (ADI) shares slipped on Tuesday, ending down 0.3% at $274.82 as chip stocks drifted lower into the final stretch of the year. StockAnalysis The move matters because liquidity is thin in the holiday-truncated week, which can amplify relatively small shifts in positioning across semiconductors and other growth-linked stocks. Reuters Investors also digested minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s December meeting, keeping interest-rate expectations in focus for rate-sensitive technology shares. Reuters ADI traded between $274.59 and $277.10 during the session after opening at $276.70, market data showed. StockAnalysis The

Union Pacific stock slips as rivals press regulators to reject Norfolk Southern merger filing; UNP sets Q4 earnings date

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:43 PM ET — Market closed Union Pacific Corporation shares fell 0.6% to close at $233.11 on Tuesday, as investors digested fresh pushback from rival railroads seeking to derail the company’s merger application with Norfolk Southern on procedural grounds. Yahoo Finance+1 The filings matter because the merger is entering a gatekeeping phase at the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, the federal regulator that oversees freight-rail competition and approves major rail combinations. If the board decides the application is incomplete, the review clock effectively resets. Surface Transportation Board+1 That timing risk is front and center for Union
Deere stock slips ahead of ex-dividend day as Fed minutes hit year-end trade

Deere stock slips ahead of ex-dividend day as Fed minutes hit year-end trade

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:44 PM ET — Market closed Deere & Company (DE) shares were last down 0.05% at $469.94 after U.S. markets closed on Tuesday. The stock traded between $469.00 and $473.10 during the session. The move comes with Deere due to trade ex-dividend on Wednesday. “Ex-dividend” means the shares change hands without the right to the next dividend payment, so buyers on or after that date generally do not receive it. StockAnalysis That matters at year-end, when lighter liquidity can amplify small, technical flows. For dividend-paying stocks, positioning around the ex-dividend date can also pull demand
Seagate (STX) stock slips as 2025 AI-storage rally cools — what investors watch next

Seagate (STX) stock slips as 2025 AI-storage rally cools — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:25 ET — Market closed Seagate Technology Holdings plc shares fell 0.4% to close at $280.08 on Tuesday, after trading between $278.90 and $284.09. The pullback matters because Seagate has been one of the market’s standout “AI infrastructure” winners this year, riding demand for data storage as cloud companies build out data centers. With the calendar turning, investors are reassessing how much of that story is already in the stock. That debate has sharpened into year-end, when positioning can shift quickly and high-flying names often see profit-taking. Traders are also looking ahead to the company’s

IBM stock slips in thin year-end trade as tech rotation bites; eyes turn to Jan. 28 earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:44 ET — Market closed International Business Machines fell 1.2% on Tuesday, ending at $302.05 as the stock eased back from recent highs in the final stretch of the year. Yahoo Finance The timing mattered. Liquidity tends to thin late in December, and that can amplify moves when investors rebalance portfolios heading into year-end. IBM has still gained about 37% so far in 2025, and Tuesday’s drop pushed it below key near-term trend levels that chart-focused traders track. A 50-day moving average — a simple trend gauge that smooths prices over 50 sessions — stood

Nu Holdings stock beats the market in thin year-end trade — what NU investors are watching next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:12 ET — Market closed Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU) shares climbed 1.3% to $16.88 on Tuesday, ending higher even as Wall Street posted a modest decline in the penultimate session of 2025. The move mattered because liquidity is thin into year-end, which can magnify day-to-day swings and drive fast rotations between crowded trades and laggards. For Nu, the bounce comes after a weaker month. The stock has fallen about 4.7% over the past four weeks, leaving investors watching whether the next earnings update can reset sentiment. Nu traded between $16.60 and $17.11 during the

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:04 ET — Market closed Eaton Corporation plc shares edged lower on Tuesday, closing down 0.18% at $320.86, as Wall Street drifted modestly lower in light year-end trading. StockAnalysis+1 The move comes with markets heading into the final U.S. equity session of 2025, when thin liquidity can amplify even small shifts in risk appetite. Investors are also repositioning around interest-rate expectations, a key driver for industrial and infrastructure-linked stocks such as Eaton. Reuters Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last policy meeting of the year — the detailed record of policymakers’ debate — showed divisions over

CrowdStrike stock today: CRWD holds near $476 after CEO Kurtz performance award filing

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:02 ET — Market closed. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD) shares closed down about 0.1% at $475.63 on Tuesday after a filing showed the cybersecurity firm approved a new performance-based equity award for Chief Executive George Kurtz. The award is for a target 300,000 performance stock units — stock grants that vest only if targets are met — and can pay out between zero and 600,000 shares based on CrowdStrike’s three-year total shareholder return, or stock gains including dividends, versus S&P 500 constituents. The filing said the payout would be zero below the 25th percentile of

Palo Alto Networks stock flat after insider sale filings; PANW traders eye next earnings

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 22:06 ET — Market closed Palo Alto Networks shares finished flat on Tuesday after regulatory filings showed stock sales by two top executives, in muted year-end trading. SEC+1 The disclosures matter now because thin holiday liquidity can amplify reactions to company-specific signals, even when the transactions are routine. Investors also head into the final sessions of the year looking for clues on 2026 demand across cybersecurity budgets. The trades were reported in Form 4 filings, the SEC document insiders must file to disclose changes in their holdings. Both executives said the sales were made under

Carvana stock slips again as year-end trade thins out — what CVNA traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:29 ET — Market closed Carvana Co. shares fell 0.9% on Tuesday to close at $429.55, after trading between $429.05 and $435.70. Volume was about 1.33 million shares, and the stock was little changed in after-hours trading, which takes place electronically after the 4 p.m. close. StockAnalysis The dip matters because Carvana has become a high-beta, heavily traded name after a sharp run this year, making it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite. The online used-car retailer also sits at the intersection of consumer demand and borrowing costs, with financing central to how many buyers

DoorDash (DASH) stock slips into year-end as California refund rule looms

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:32 ET — Market closed DoorDash, Inc. shares closed down 1.25% at $228.13 on Tuesday, extending a second straight session of declines. Yahoo Finance+1 The timing matters because U.S. stocks will trade regular hours on Wednesday, the final session of 2025, before markets shut for New Year’s Day. Year-end positioning can magnify moves when liquidity thins.

Applied Materials stock snaps 7-day rally as China pushes “50% domestic tools” rule

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:50 ET — Market closed Applied Materials, Inc. shares ended Tuesday down 1.17% at $259.97, snapping a seven-day winning streak for the chip-equipment maker. MarketWatch The move matters as investors head into the final trading day of 2025 with China policy and U.S. export controls back in focus for semiconductor tool suppliers. Applied makes chipmaking equipment — the high-precision tools used to deposit and remove materials on silicon wafers — a market where China remains a key buyer even as restrictions tighten. Reuters+1 After the close, Reuters reported that Chinese authorities are requiring chipmakers to

Reddit stock (RDDT) slips after CTO share-sale filing; traders weigh AI-citation thesis

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:26 ET — Market closed. Reddit, Inc. (RDDT) shares slipped 0.55% on Tuesday to close at $233.36 after a regulatory filing showed its chief technology officer sold shares. The pullback landed in a holiday-thin stretch of trading, when fresh headlines can move growth stocks more than usual. Investors are also trying to pin down whether Reddit can turn its growing role in AI-powered search and chatbots into steadier advertising and data-licensing revenue. Needham reiterated a Buy rating and a $300 price target on Monday, pointing to what it described as Reddit’s “AI citation dominance” —

Oklo stock slips 3% at the close as insiders reshuffle holdings; what traders watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:24 ET — Market closed. Oklo Inc. shares fell 3.3% on Tuesday to end at $71.62, lagging the broader market in the year’s final trading week. The slide matters now because liquidity is thin into year-end, and price swings can get sharper in high-volatility stocks when fewer investors are active. Oklo, which says it is a fission technology and nuclear fuel recycling company, has traded as a high-beta nuclear-power bet, leaving it sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and any signal on funding or regulatory timelines.

Motorola Solutions stock rises as Wall Street slips in thin trade — MSI investors eye dividend, next earnings window

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:23 ET — Market closed. Motorola Solutions Inc (MSI) shares rose 1.77% on Tuesday to close at $383.94. The stock traded between $375.10 and $384.90, with volume of about 1.5 million shares. StockAnalysis The gain stood out in a low-volume year-end session after minutes — the detailed record of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting — showed deep divisions over the path of interest rates. “At the end of the day, solid corporate profits can make up for a lot of sins,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group. Reuters Motorola Solutions, which

Qualcomm stock edges higher in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes land — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:28 ET — Market closed Qualcomm Incorporated shares finished modestly higher on Tuesday, closing up 0.22 points, or 0.13%, at $173.65. The small gain came as Wall Street ended slightly lower in choppy, holiday-thinned trading. The Dow fell 0.20%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.14% and the Nasdaq lost 0.23%, while Apple fell 0.3% and Nvidia dropped 0.4%, according to Reuters. Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, said: “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off.” Reuters Why this matters now: late-December positioning can move chip stocks even when

Vertiv (VRT) stock slips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes reset rate focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:22 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares fell 0.7% to $164.34 on Tuesday, tracking a soft finish for U.S. equities into the final day of the year. The pullback matters now because year-end flows can exaggerate moves in stocks tied to big themes such as data-center expansion, especially when liquidity is thin. Rate expectations also tend to loom larger late in the year as investors reset allocations for 2026. Reuters+1 Vertiv sells power and cooling equipment used in data centers, a corner of the market that has drawn heavy attention as companies build
