MEXICO CITY (Dec. 21, 2025) — The Mexico Stock Exchange is heading into the final full week of the year with a simple, slightly surreal message for investors: the rally is still alive, but it’s no longer effortless. Mexico’s benchmark S&P/BMV IPC index ended the last session before the weekend at 63,966.98 points, a hair below this month’s all-time highs.…

Johannesburg Stock Exchange News & Forecasts (21 December 2025): JSE All Share Near Record Highs as Rate-Cut Bets Build for 2026

Johannesburg — Sunday, 21 December 2025. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is closing out 2025 with a familiar year-end mix of momentum, macro optimism, and holiday-thinned liquidity — a cocktail that can produce either a smooth “Santa rally” or sudden, exaggerated swings. On the numbers, South African equities have been remarkably resilient, with the flagship indices sitting just shy of…

São Paulo — Dec. 21, 2025. The São Paulo Stock Exchange—officially B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão)—heads into a holiday-shortened stretch with a familiar mix of late-year ingredients: thinner liquidity, louder politics, and analysts turning the dial from “what just happened?” to “what could 2026 look like?” The headline number: the Ibovespa finished the week at 158,473.02 points, down 1.43% from the…

Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in Focus: ASIC’s $150m Capital Charge, CHESS Replacement Milestones, and the ASX 200 Outlook Into 2026

SYDNEY — 21 December 2025 — Australia’s financial markets are heading into the final trading stretch of the year with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under unusually bright floodlights: regulators have imposed a significant additional capital requirement on the ASX operator, demanded sharper governance and accountability across clearing and settlement, and effectively tied future “business as usual” to demonstrable technology…

Euronext News and Forecast (Dec. 21, 2025): Consolidated Tape Momentum, Post‑Trade Expansion, and What Analysts Expect for ENX in 2026

Euronext (ENX.PA) is having a very “market-structure” kind of month—the sort of news cycle that doesn’t scream in neon, but quietly decides how European capital markets work (and who gets paid) for years. As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, the pan-European exchange group is sitting at the intersection of three big themes investors keep circling back to: Below is a…

SEOUL — December 21, 2025 — The Korea Exchange (KRX), operator of South Korea’s main equity markets including KOSPI and KOSDAQ, is heading into year-end with a rare mix of momentum and stress tests: a roaring 2025 rally, intensifying competition from the alternative trading system Nextrade (NXT), and a regulatory drive to clean out “zombie” listings that’s colliding with court…

NEW YORK — December 21, 2025 — The New York Stock Exchange heads into Christmas week with three storylines converging at once: a holiday-shortened trading calendar, fresh regulatory filings that reshape parts of the NYSE rulebook, and a market still debating whether a “Santa Claus rally” can show up on schedule after a choppy December.

Mumbai/Bengaluru — December 21, 2025 — The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is ending 2025 in a situation that would have sounded contradictory a few years ago: India is home to one of the biggest derivatives machines on Earth, yet the country’s flagship equity market is behaving like it’s on sedatives. Options traders are being forced to rethink playbooks,…

Biotechnology stocks head into the Christmas-shortened trading week with fresh momentum—and plenty for investors to digest—after a dense run of catalysts between December 19 and December 21, 2025. In the span of 48 hours, the sector saw a major rare-disease acquisition, a closely watched FDA approval in cardiology, IPO paperwork from both biotech and medtech, and a sweeping wave of…

Mumbai | 21 December 2025 — The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) heads into a holiday-thinned, event-heavy week with a familiar cocktail: a late rebound in benchmarks, a looming BSE index reshuffle that can force passive-fund flows, and a fresh exchange-level proposal aimed at curbing “too many orders, not enough trades” behavior in the cash market.

Nuclear stocks head into the Christmas week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a holiday-thinned trading calendar that can exaggerate moves, and a still-bullish long-term narrative tied to grid reliability, AI data center power demand, and government-backed “reshoring” of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Space & Satellite Tech Stocks Week Ahead: Rocket Lab’s $816M Space Force Win, AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird 6 Launch, and EchoStar’s Spectrum Spotlight

Holiday-shortened trading weeks can be deceptively eventful for space and satellite tech stocks: lower liquidity tends to amplify moves, while “hard” catalysts like contract awards, launch milestones, and regulatory headlines still land on the tape.

  • Small Caps Outperform S&P 500 for 14 Days, a Pattern Not Seen Since 1996
    January 25, 2026, 11:08 PM EST. Small-cap stocks, tracked by the Russell 2000, have outperformed large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 for 14 consecutive days, the longest such streak since 1996. This marks a notable shift after the S&P 500's strong three-year run, driven largely by AI-focused mega-cap tech stocks known as the "Magnificent Seven," which doubled the Russell 2000's returns from 2023 to 2025. Historically, small caps tend to outperform in broadening bull markets due to higher volatility and economic sensitivity. While a similar streak in 1996 preceded the dot-com boom, it didn't predict returns favoring small caps over the long term then. Currently, valuation gaps remain significant, with the S&P 500 trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27.9 compared to 19.4 for the Russell 2000, suggesting potential further small-cap strength amid a rotation away from concentrated tech stocks.
