NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:51 ET — Regular session U.S. stocks slipped on Monday as investors trimmed exposure to heavyweight technology names that powered last week’s rally. The move matters because benchmarks entered the final week of the year near record territory and close to the S&P 500’s next big round-number milestone, leaving little cushion for profit-taking. Reuters Trading conditions are also thinner in the holiday-shortened week, when fewer orders can make price swings look bigger than usual.

Tokyo AI Stocks Slide as SoftBank, Advantest Drag Nikkei on Dec. 15, 2025 — BOJ Rate Hike in Focus

Tokyo’s AI-linked stocks took a clear hit on Monday, December 15, 2025, as a pullback in global tech sentiment spilled into Japan’s market and triggered a rotation away from some of the year’s biggest “AI trade” winners. The headline move was in the Nikkei 225, which is heavily influenced by large, high-priced tech names. The index fell 1.31% to 50,168.11, even as the broader Topix gained 0.22% to 3,431.47—a split that underscored how concentrated the pressure was in AI- and semiconductor-related shares rather than across the entire market.
