Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) Outlook: All Share Near Record Highs as Precious Metals Surge Sets Up Monday Reopen

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:31 a.m. ET — Market closed The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) heads into the final trading stretch of 2025 with a familiar year-end cocktail: holiday-thinned liquidity, a powerful precious-metals rally, and a softer U.S. dollar backdrop that tends to favor emerging-market assets and commodity-heavy equity markets like South Africa’s. With both U.S. markets and the JSE shut on Sunday, investors are using the quiet window to position for Monday’s reopen—especially after gold, platinum, and silver pushed deeper into record territory late last week, a move with outsized implications for JSE heavyweight miners and the rand-linked

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:29 a.m. ET — Market closed Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) heads into the final trading week of 2025 with Wall Street still debating a familiar trade-off: explosive AI infrastructure demand versus the margin pressure that can come with lower-margin “systems” revenue and a richer AI mix. With U.S. stock markets closed Sunday and set to reopen Monday, December 29, investors are using the weekend to parse a fresh wave of analyst notes and year-end outlooks—many of them constructive—after Broadcom’s mid-December volatility.

SIX Swiss Exchange Today: Swiss Stocks Hold Near Record High as Markets Reopen After the Holiday Break — What Investors Need to Watch

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:28 a.m. ET — Market closed Zurich’s SIX Swiss Exchange is dark today — as it is every Sunday — but “closed” doesn’t mean “quiet.” With the Swiss market heading into one of its first full sessions since the Christmas shutdown, investors are using the weekend to game out a familiar year-end problem: how much of the recent rally is real conviction, and how much is thin liquidity plus seasonal optimism. The Swiss Market Index (SMI) — the flagship blue-chip benchmark for Swiss equities — last traded on Tuesday, Dec. 23, and it did so

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:33 a.m. ET — Market closed Singapore Exchange (SGX) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar year-end cocktail: thinner liquidity, elevated sensitivity to global rate expectations, and a steady drumbeat of positioning into the new year. With U.S. stock markets closed for the weekend, attention shifts to Asia’s Monday open—where Singapore investors will be balancing strong domestic manufacturing signals against a global macro backdrop that remains dominated by the Federal Reserve’s next move. The Singapore market’s last session offered a snapshot of that tug-of-war. The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) finished

(Nasdaq: TSLA) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with U.S. equity markets shut for the weekend, but the narrative around the stock is anything but quiet. Tesla shares last finished at $475.19 on Friday, down 2.10% on the day, after trading between $473.82 and $488.90 on heavy volume. With the next regular session set for Monday, investors are weighing two competing forces that have defined TSLA trading into year-end: autonomy/robotaxi optionality (the story bulls want to own) versus deliveries, margins, and regulatory scrutiny (the realities bears

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:02 a.m. ET — Market closed South Korea’s Korea Exchange (KRX) heads into the final stretch of 2025 with momentum, scrutiny, and a long to-do list—exactly the cocktail you’d expect when a market becomes the year’s standout performer. On Friday in Seoul (Dec. 26), the KOSPI closed at 4,129.68, up 0.51%, while the tech-heavy KOSDAQ finished at 919.67, up 0.49%, according to KBS World.

National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) Outlook: Nifty 50 Holds Near Record Highs as Year-End Data, F&O Expiry and IPO Buzz Take Center Stage

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025 — 8:58 a.m. ET — Market closed India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE) is shut for the weekend, but the conversation around Dalal Street isn’t taking a day off. After a soft finish on Friday, the Nifty 50 is still hovering near record territory, and the next session’s tone is likely to be set by a familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, foreign flows, macroeconomic data releases, and a calendar that’s about to flip to 2026.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:06 a.m. ET — Market closed The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) heads into a post-holiday restart with a familiar year-end cocktail: thinner liquidity, hypersensitive price action, and global crosswinds that can look deceptively calm—right up until they aren’t. With U.S. stock markets closed on Sunday, attention turns to what will drive Australian shares when the ASX cash market reopens in Sydney on Monday, Dec. 29. The key inputs investors are tracking now: index futures, a stronger Australian dollar, and a late-2025 surge in industrial and precious metals that could keep the resource-heavy Australian market in

Toronto Stock Exchange Outlook: TSX Reopens Monday With Oil Sliding, Precious Metals Surging, and Year-End Liquidity Thin

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 8:39 a.m. ET — Market closed The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) heads into Monday’s reopening with a familiar late-December cocktail: thin liquidity, big commodity moves, and geopolitics that refuses to stay politely off the trading floor. After a holiday-interrupted stretch that left markets quiet but not calm, investors will be weighing whether the TSX’s 2025 leadership—powered by metals and financials—still has fuel, or whether energy’s headwinds and a firmer Canadian dollar start to bite. The last TSX session—Christmas Eve’s shortened trade—ended with the S&P/TSX Composite down 0.2% at 31,999.76, as materials and energy dragged while

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 8:33 a.m. ET, Market closed — Frankfurt’s stock market is off the tape this weekend, but the next open could pack more punch than the calendar suggests. With the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) and its flagship electronic venue Xetra heading into the final stretch of 2025, investors are staring at a familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, compressed trading schedules, and an outsized sensitivity to U.S. rate expectations. Germany’s blue-chip DAX last closed at 24,340.06 on December 23 (before the Christmas shutdown), within sight of its 52-week high of 24,771.34—a reminder that European equities have been

Shenzhen Stock Exchange Outlook: ChiNext, EV Battery Stocks in Focus as Beijing Signals More Proactive 2026 Policy

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:57 a.m. ET — Market closed. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) heads into its next trading session with investors balancing upbeat year-end positioning against a fresh set of policy signals and sector-specific warnings that matter disproportionately for Shenzhen’s tech- and manufacturing-heavy market. Mainland China’s markets are shut for the weekend, but the headlines have not stopped. In the past 24–48 hours, Beijing has reiterated a more “proactive” fiscal stance for 2026, regulators have rolled out tighter oversight of cross-border financing tied to overseas listings, and one of China’s best-followed auto industry voices warned of a

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market closed The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) heads into the final stretch of the year with momentum still intact—but with a growing “show me the earnings” demand from investors as policy headlines and macro data collide. The benchmark Shanghai Composite ended Friday at 3,963.68, up 0.1%, with combined turnover across Shanghai and Shenzhen totaling about 2.16 trillion yuan, as gains in themes such as commercial spaceflight and lithium batteries helped offset weakness elsewhere.

Tokyo Stock Exchange Preview: TOPIX Record High, Yen Intervention Watch, and What to Know Before Year-End Trading Resumes

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market closed As Wall Street takes its weekend pause, attention shifts across the Pacific to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) — where Japan’s TOPIX just capped the week at a fresh record, the yen remains under an intervention cloud, and year-end liquidity is thinning fast. Friday’s Tokyo close mattered for more than bragging rights. It stitched together three threads investors will likely be juggling as cash trading resumes: (1) Japan’s equity momentum (with the TOPIX pushing to new highs), (2) the yen’s uneasy slide even after a Bank of Japan (BOJ)

When the London Stock Exchange (LSE) reopens Monday, it will do so in a global backdrop where Wall Street is hovering near record territory, precious metals have been sprinting, and a growing chorus of market watchers is trying

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:51 a.m. ET — Market closed Wall Street’s tech-heavy Nasdaq complex is heading into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar late-December cocktail: light volumes, big year-to-date gains, and a market that seems calm—right up until it isn’t. The Nasdaq Composite finished the most recent session (Friday) down 20.21 points, or 0.1%, at 23,593.10, in a quiet post-Christmas trade that also saw the S&P 500 and Dow drift slightly lower.

ALGT Stock in Focus: Allegiant Travel Upgraded to Hold as Analysts Debate Valuation After a 50%+ Rally

ALGT Stock in Focus: Allegiant Travel Upgraded to Hold as Analysts Debate Valuation After a 50%+ Rally

Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) is ending 2025 in a familiar place for airline investors: caught between improving operating signals and a valuation that some analysts now say already reflects much of the turnaround. On Sunday, December 28, 2025, MarketBeat reported that Wall Street Zen upgraded Allegiant Travel from “Sell” to “Hold.” MarketBeat That call lands just days after broader market chatter about ALGT’s sharp six‑month climb and the company’s upgraded profit outlook—momentum that helped put the stock on many “top movers” lists heading into year-end. At the same time, Raymond James has recently argued for more caution—not because it

Reuters+1 With just three trading days left in 2025 (Monday through Wednesday), investors are heading into the final stretch watching a familiar year-end mix: lighter liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, and a growing debate about whether the
