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. For global investors watching from New York, the timing matters. The NSE’s cash market runs on Indian Standard Time (IST), with

Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Watch: ASX 200 Set to Reopen Dec. 29 as Futures Hold Steady, Aussie Dollar Firms and Metals Stay Hot

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

Frankfurt Stock Exchange Week Ahead: DAX Near Record Highs as Year-End Liquidity and Fed Signals Loom Large

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

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 8:30 a.m. ET — Market closed — Euronext N.V. — the operator behind major European exchanges in Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Oslo and, now, Athens — is heading into the final trading stretch of the year with a familiar mix of year-end calm and structural-change headlines. With U.S. markets closed for the weekend and Euronext cash markets also shut until Monday, investors in Euronext shares (ENX.PA; and the U.S. OTC line often quoted as EUXTF) are in “between sessions” mode: the last Euronext trading day was the holiday-shortened week ending Wednesday, Dec. 24,

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 8:08 a.m. ET — Market closed Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading is paused for the weekend — and the cash equities market is coming off the Christmas shutdown — but the story around HKEX is anything but asleep heading into Monday’s reopen. As of Sunday morning in New York, U.S. markets are closed, and Hong Kong’s cash market won’t reopen until Monday, Dec. 29, according to HKEX’s trading calendar. HKEX For U.S.-based investors watching Asia, that reopen arrives sooner than it sounds: HKEX’s securities market runs a pre-opening auction session from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30

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

Shanghai Stock Exchange Outlook: China’s 2026 Fiscal Signal, Yuan Strength, and STAR Market IPO Changes Set the Tone for the Next Session

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. Xinhua News With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, global investors are using the downtime to game out

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)

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET — Market Closed With U.S. stock markets shut for the weekend and London also dark until Monday, investors are heading into the final stretch of 2025 with an unusually familiar year-end cocktail: thin liquidity, big cross-asset moves, and a loud debate over whether London can finally turn “capital markets reform” into actual capital markets. 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

Nasdaq Today: Market Closed Sunday as Nasdaq Composite Near Record Highs; Fed Minutes and Year-End Rotation in Focus

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. Market participation was thin, with New York Stock Exchange volume running roughly half a typical day as many large institutional players have largely
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
