Hindustan Zinc Hits Fresh 52-Week High as Silver Breaks $65; Shriram Finance–MUFG Deal, Vedanta Demerger Lift Breakout Stocks (Dec 18, 2025)

Indian equity benchmarks opened nearly flat on Thursday, December 18, 2025, after three straight sessions of losses, as a modest rebound in the rupee and renewed foreign buying offered support even while most major sectors started lower. Reuters But beneath the quiet headline indices, a clear theme is playing out on Dalal Street: select “breakout” counters are printing fresh 52-week highs, powered by a mix of commodity tailwinds (especially silver) and deal/corporate-action catalysts. A late-session market scan on Wednesday showed six BSE 500 names hitting new 52-week highs—Hindustan Zinc, The India Cements, Kirloskar Oil Engines, National Aluminium Company (NALCO), Shriram

CBA Share Price Today: Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX:CBA) in Focus on 18 December 2025 as Options Expiry, Rate Outlook and Analyst Targets Collide

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) shares are back in the spotlight on Thursday, 18 December 2025 — not because the bank dropped a blockbuster announcement, but because the market is juggling three forces at once: year-end options expiry volatility, a shifting interest-rate outlook for 2026, and a persistent debate about whether CommBank’s valuation still makes sense at today’s price. As of 18 December, CBA was trading around A$154.56, up modestly on the day, after moving between A$153.11 and A$154.67. Investing.com’s snapshot put CBA’s market capitalisation at roughly A$258 billion and showed a 52‑week range of A$140.21 to A$192.00 —

Australia Stock Market Today (18 December 2025): ASX 200 slips as tech and uranium sink, Austal lands $1.03bn defence contract

SYDNEY, Thursday 18 December 2025 — Australian shares drifted lower for a fourth straight session as global “AI valuation” jitters again hit technology names, while a sharp sell-off in uranium stocks dragged on broader sentiment. The S&P/ASX 200 (ASX 200) spent most of the day in mild retreat — down about 0.1% to 0.3% — before stabilising into the afternoon. Even with the pullback, local losses were modest relative to the overnight slide on Wall Street, where tech weakness again dominated.

BHP Group Ltd stock is doing what big miners often do when the world can’t decide whether it’s panicking or partying: it’s being tugged by commodities, policy, and a very real legal overhang—all at the same time. On Thursday, 18 December 2025, BHP shares were modestly higher in Australia even as broader equities wobbled on renewed tech/AI valuation nerves, while headlines around the long-running Brazil dam disaster litigation resurfaced with a sharp new angle: a £189 million legal-costs demand following the UK court’s liability ruling.

Honeywell (HON) Stock After Hours on Dec. 17, 2025: What Happened After the Bell and What to Watch Before Thursday’s Open

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ: HON) ended Wednesday’s session with a rare advantage: it closed higher even as the broader market slid, then inched up again in after-hours trading—a setup that puts the focus squarely on Thursday morning’s macro catalyst rather than any fresh company-specific headline. With November’s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) due at 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Dec. 18, traders are effectively treating tonight as a “positioning window”—and Honeywell’s steadier, industrial profile is one reason it held up better than the tech-heavy tape on Wednesday.

Montreal Metro Grocery Store Robbed by Santa and Elf Crew as Quebec Food Insecurity Hits New Highs

Montreal Metro Grocery Store Robbed by Santa and Elf Crew as Quebec Food Insecurity Hits New Highs

MONTREAL — A surreal “holiday heist” in one of Montreal’s best-known neighbourhoods has sparked a very real debate about hunger, grocery inflation, and the limits of protest. According to Montreal police, multiple masked and costumed people walked out of a Metro grocery store on Laurier Street with food they hadn’t paid for — a theft the group behind it later framed as an act of “redistribution.” No one was hurt, no arrests had been announced as of Wednesday, and investigators say an inquiry is ongoing. tvanouvelles.ca+1 What made the incident travel fast across Quebec’s news cycle on December 17 wasn’t

Washington’s 2026 midterm fight came into sharper focus on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, as a burst of developments tied together the three forces that usually decide control of Congress: money, messsaging, and the cost of living. A small bloc of swing-district House Republicans broke with their party’s leadership to help Democrats force a vote on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits—a rare procedural defeat for Speaker Mike Johnson at a moment when Republicans can’t afford many.
