NIO stock steadies in premarket as China rolls out 2026 trade-in subsidies for EVs

NIO stock steadies in premarket as China rolls out 2026 trade-in subsidies for EVs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:12 ET — Premarket Shares of China’s NIO Inc were little changed in early premarket trading on Wednesday after climbing 3% in the previous session, as traders weighed fresh signs Beijing will keep leaning on consumer support into 2026. The focus is on policy, not company headlines. For EV makers, demand in China can turn quickly on rebates, financing incentives and price cuts — and investors have been hunting for visibility into early-2026 orders. The timing matters, too. Year-end trading can be thin, and China-linked American depositary shares (ADSs) often swing more than usual when

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:34 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures edged lower early Wednesday, setting up a cautious start to New Year’s Eve trading as investors weighed a fresh burst of dealmaking in artificial intelligence against a late-year pullback in big tech. The final session of the year tends to bring lighter volumes, and that can magnify moves as funds rebalance portfolios and adjust risk before year-end statements and benchmark resets. The S&P 500 is up about 17% so far this year and the Dow has logged a long monthly winning streak, leaving little tolerance for surprises.

Vodafone shares near £1 as buyback filing hits and valuation debate sharpens

Vodafone shares near £1 as buyback filing hits and valuation debate sharpens

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:53 ET Vodafone shares hovered just below the £1 level on Wednesday, trading at about 99.22 pence in London, as the telecoms group continued a steady run of share buybacks into year-end. (https://www.investing.com/equities/vodafone-historical-data) The move matters because the one-pound mark is a psychological threshold for retail and institutional investors in the U.K., where Vodafone is a heavyweight in the FTSE 100. It also comes as trading volumes thin out around the holidays, making price levels and corporate buying programmes more visible in daily market moves. In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, Vodafone said it repurchased

AI stocks today: Nvidia’s China H200 chip rush puts chipmakers in focus before New Year trade

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 03:59 ET — Market closed Nvidia (NVDA.O) has approached contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW) to ramp output of its H200 graphics processing units — chips used to train and run artificial-intelligence models — as demand from Chinese tech firms jumps, sources told Reuters. Chinese companies have ordered more than 2 million H200 chips for 2026, far above the roughly 700,000 units Nvidia holds in inventory, the people said. TSMC is expected to begin work on expanded output in the second quarter of 2026, and the plan depends on whether Beijing clears H200 imports

EQT stock wobbles premarket as U.S. natural gas futures slide after weather-driven rally

EQT stock wobbles premarket as U.S. natural gas futures slide after weather-driven rally

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:06 ET — Premarket EQT Corp shares were last down about 0.5% in extended trading early Wednesday, tracking a pullback in U.S. natural gas futures. Investing.com+1 The move matters because producers’ revenue is tied to natural gas prices, which can swing sharply in winter as heating demand rises and falls with the weather. This week’s volatility has been amplified by strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand — LNG is natural gas cooled into a liquid for shipment — which can tighten the domestic market when export plants pull more fuel from U.S. pipelines. hellenicshippingnews.com

Silver price stock today: SLV in focus as spot silver drops 7% from record highs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 02:54 ET — Market closed. Spot silver slid 7.1% to $71.02 an ounce early Wednesday, extending a sharp retreat from Monday’s record $83.62. Reuters The pullback matters now because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has pushed more trading into equity-style vehicles such as silver-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which trade like stocks. Those products reprice quickly when the metal swings. Reuters It is also a year-end tape. Liquidity is thinner, and positioning tends to be crowded after big runs, making price moves look more dramatic than they would in a normal week. Reuters The dollar was part

Dow Jones today: Fed minutes and thin liquidity set the tone for 2025’s final session

NEW YORK, Dec 31, 2025, 02:56 ET — Market closed The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors digested Federal Reserve meeting minutes and pared exposure to parts of the tech-heavy rally into the year’s final session. The index finished at 48,367.06, down 94.87 points, or 0.20%. Reuters The timing matters. Wednesday is the last U.S. cash equity session of 2025, and trading has been thin, a setup that can amplify swings when big funds rebalance portfolios and traders close books. Reuters A fresh debate is taking shape under the surface: whether 2026 returns broaden beyond

Bristol-Myers Squibb stock edges higher as Wall Street drifts into year-end — what’s next for BMY

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:30 ET — Market closed Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. shares closed up 0.18% at $54.21 on Tuesday, after trading between $53.92 and $54.35. The stock has ranged from $42.52 to $63.33 over the past 52 weeks. Bristol Myers Squibb Investors The modest gain came as Wall Street drifted lower in holiday-thinned trade. “The growth rates are going to converge between technology and everything else next year,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, as investors repositioned after a tech-led run; the S&P 500 slipped 0.14% and the Nasdaq fell 0.23%.

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:23 ET — Market closed Newmont Corporation shares closed up 2.1% at $101.86 on Tuesday, snapping back as gold prices recovered from a sharp early-week slide. The stock traded between $100.31 and $102.70 during the session. The rebound came after the CME said new performance bond (margin) requirements for metals futures would take effect after the close of business on Dec. 29 — a change that can force leveraged traders to cut positions.

Constellation Energy stock slips today as Calpine deal steps and nuclear AI demand stay in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Constellation Energy Corporation shares slipped 0.4% to $357.12 on Tuesday, ending the session lower as the market headed into the final trading days of the year. The move matters because Constellation has become a key proxy for bets that electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers will keep tightening U.S. power markets, lifting the value of steady, around-the-clock generation such as nuclear. Nuclear sentiment was in focus again after Duke Energy said it applied to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an early site permit for a potential new nuclear

Lockheed Martin stock today dips despite $500 million Pentagon contract flow for Aegis, THAAD work

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 23:22 ET — Market closed Lockheed Martin Corp shares finished slightly lower on Tuesday after the Pentagon disclosed about $500 million in contract modifications tied to the contractor’s naval combat systems and missile-defense work. The new awards matter now because investors are trying to gauge how reliably big defense primes can translate steady government spending into cash flow as 2025 ends and budget debates shift toward 2026. They also highlight the role of foreign military sales and allied demand in Lockheed’s order pipeline.
