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 — 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 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, 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. Management and multiple analysts are increasingly framing the current environment as

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.

As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) heads into the final stretch of 2025, the stock is sitting close to record territory — but the story powering investor attention right now is bigger than “another strong iPhone cycle.” As of Dec. 21, 2025 (a Sunday, with U.S. markets closed), Apple shares were hovering around $273.67, below a 52-week high near $288.62.

Pfizer Stock (PFE) News Today: 2026 Guidance, Analyst Forecasts, Dividend Outlook, and Pipeline Catalysts (Updated Dec. 21, 2025)

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. As of the most recent close (Friday, Dec. 19), Pfizer stock finished around $25.19, leaving shares squarely in the “mid‑$20s” range where they’ve been pinned for much of the post-pandemic reset.

Ferrovial SE stock is heading into a potentially volatile—and headline-heavy—week. The infrastructure group is set to join the Nasdaq-100 before the U.S. market opens on Monday, December 22, 2025, becoming the first IBEX 35 constituent to do so, while also rolling out a fresh €800 million share repurchase program and paying an additional holiday-season cash dividend. Cinco Días+3Reuters+3Nasdaq+3 For investors, the near-term question is simple: are these catalysts still “fuel,” or mostly “fireworks” after a big 2025 rally? The longer-term question is harder and more interesting: can Ferrovial keep compounding value from its North American toll-road portfolio and airport pipeline

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.

As of the most recent close, Tesla shares were around $481, with recent trading stretching from the mid‑$470s up toward the $490 area. Investing.com Below is a full roundup of the major Tesla
