Real Estate Stocks Today: REITs Head Into the Weekend With Rates in Focus and a 2026 Rebound Narrative Building

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 1:41 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. real estate stocks enter the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar catalyst back in the driver’s seat: interest rates. With Wall Street closed for the weekend, investors in REITs and other real estate equities are using the pause to assess what Friday’s thin, post-holiday session signaled—and what could move the group when trading resumes Monday. The big picture is straightforward: real estate has struggled to keep pace with the broader market this year, but strategists see multiple pathways for a better setup in 2026, particularly if rate

Basic Materials Stocks: Copper Hits Records, Precious Metals Surge, and the Materials Sector Leads—What Investors Need Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 1:41 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend) Basic materials stocks are heading into the final trading stretch of 2025 with fresh momentum—and it’s being driven less by company-specific headlines and more by a powerful macro cocktail: record-setting metals prices, expectations for easier U.S. monetary policy, and year-end market rotation into cyclical sectors. In the most recent U.S. session (Friday, Dec. 26), trading was light after the Christmas holiday. The major indexes ended fractionally lower, but the market stayed close to record territory. In that subdued tape, the S&P 500’s materials sector stood out as the

Industrials Stocks Outlook: Defense, Transport, and Capex Themes Head Into the Final Week of 2025

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:57 PM ET — Market Closed Industrials stocks are heading into the final week of 2025 with momentum still intact—but with holiday-thin liquidity, investors are increasingly focused on what will matter once normal volume returns: defense spending signals, transport demand trends, and whether business investment can stay resilient as rates and tariff headlines continue to shape corporate planning. U.S. equities ended the latest session (Friday, Dec. 26) only slightly lower in quiet, post-Christmas trading, after a strong run into the holiday stretch. The broader tone has been consistent with the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” period

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:56 p.m. ET — Market Closed Communication Services stocks are heading into the final three U.S. equity sessions of 2025 with two forces pulling in opposite directions: bullish year-end momentum that has kept major indexes near record territory, and a fresh wave of regulatory scrutiny aimed at social media features that critics say drive compulsive use. With the New York Stock Exchange closed for the weekend, investors are using the pause to reassess what’s been a standout year for the sector—powered by Big Tech advertising platforms and streaming leaders—while mapping out catalysts that could shape

Technology Stocks Today: Nvidia’s Groq Licensing Deal, Nasdaq’s Year-End Test, and What Investors Need Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:56 p.m. ET — Market Closed U.S. technology stocks head into the final stretch of 2025 with Wall Street sitting just off record territory—and with several AI- and regulation-driven headlines likely to shape sentiment when trading resumes Monday. The stock market is closed for the weekend, but the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the broader S&P 500 remain in focus after Friday’s post-Christmas session ended with only minor changes and notably light conviction. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 20.19 points (‑0.04%) to 48,710.97, the S&P 500 dipped 2.11 points (‑0.03%) to 6,929.94, and the Nasdaq Composite

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:56 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. stock markets are shut for the weekend, and cloud computing stocks are heading into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar mix of tailwinds and stress tests: accelerating AI-driven data-center investment, easing (but still meaningful) rate sensitivity, and recurring investor focus on cloud uptime and concentration risk. Friday’s post-Christmas session ended nearly flat in light volume, snapping a short winning streak but keeping the broader tone constructive heading into year-end. The Dow dipped 0.04%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.03%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.09%, according

Big Tech Stocks Today: Nvidia’s Groq Licensing Deal, Apple’s China iPhone Signal, Tesla’s Safety Probe — What Investors Should Watch Before Monday

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:36 p.m. ET — Market closed U.S. stock markets are shut for the weekend, but Big Tech stocks are heading into the final stretch of 2025 with momentum still intact—and fresh headlines that could shape trading when the opening bell returns Monday. On Friday’s quiet, post-Christmas session, Wall Street finished only marginally lower, with major indexes slipping by fractions even as investors kept an eye on the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” window and year-end positioning. Reuters For Big Tech, the story into Monday is less about sweeping index moves and more about a handful of

Data Center Stocks Today: Nvidia’s Groq Deal, AI Power Bottlenecks, and What Investors Need Before Monday’s Open

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:55 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend) The U.S. stock market is closed for the weekend, but the “data center stocks” trade isn’t taking a holiday. In the final stretch of 2025, investors are still pricing a simple reality: AI growth is increasingly constrained not by software ambition, but by the physical stack—chips, servers, networking, cooling, and, most critically, electricity. Friday’s thin, post-Christmas session ended with major indexes fractionally lower but still near all-time highs, leaving markets focused on year-end positioning and the next week’s catalysts. Data center-linked names remain in the spotlight after Nvidia’s

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:40 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). Quantum computing stocks are ending the week on a cautious note after a sharp Friday pullback, even as the broader U.S. market remains close to record levels in what’s typically a thinly traded, post-holiday stretch. In the latest regular session (Friday, Dec. 26), several of the most-followed “pure-play” quantum names fell meaningfully, underscoring the sector’s defining trait for investors: extreme sensitivity to sentiment, liquidity, and narrative shifts—especially during year-end trading conditions. As of Friday’s close, IonQ (IONQ) finished around $46.00 (-7.6%), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) near $25.29 (-8.1%), Rigetti

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:32 p.m. ET — Market Closed Rare metals stocks — a corner of the market tied to rare earth elements, battery metals, and other “critical minerals” — are heading into the final three U.S. trading sessions of 2025 with a powerful mix of catalysts: thin year-end liquidity, a metals-friendly macro backdrop, and fresh geopolitical headlines that keep supply-chain risk front and center. With U.S. exchanges closed for the weekend, investors are digesting Friday’s light-volume session and a fast-evolving policy landscape that can move rare metals equities quickly — sometimes more on headline risk and government

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:27 p.m. ET — U.S. stock market closed EV stocks are heading into the final stretch of the year with a familiar mix of catalysts: regulatory headlines around Tesla, a high-profile autonomy narrative that continues to shape valuations, and new demand signals suggesting U.S. EV retail momentum cooled after earlier incentive-driven buying. With the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq closed for the weekend, investors are positioning for Monday’s open (Dec. 29) after a thin, post-holiday Friday session that left major indexes still near record territory.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 12:22 p.m. ET — Market closed Semiconductor stocks head into the final week of 2025 with a familiar mix of tailwinds and headline risk: AI-driven demand remains the sector’s dominant narrative, but supply-chain sensitivity is back in focus after a Taiwan earthquake prompted limited evacuations at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). With U.S. stock exchanges closed for the weekend, investors are using the pause to re-price the next set of catalysts that will hit when trading resumes Monday.
