RTX stock jumps 2% as Iran headlines lift defense contractors — what to watch next week

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:54 ET — Market closed RTX Corp (NYSE: RTX) shares rose 2.1% on Friday to close at $187.25, up $3.83. The aerospace-and-defense contractor traded between $182.20 and $187.68, with about 3.3 million shares changing hands.

Energy Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 22–26, 2025): Oil Near Multi‑Year Lows, Venezuela Crackdown, LNG Glut Fears—and a Holiday Data Vacuum

Energy Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 22–26, 2025): Oil Near Multi‑Year Lows, Venezuela Crackdown, LNG Glut Fears—and a Holiday Data Vacuum

Energy stocks head into Christmas week pulled in opposite directions: bearish supply math is pressing crude toward multi‑year lows, while geopolitical headlines—especially around Venezuela and Russia—can still jolt oil prices in thin holiday trading. On the macro side, the market has been testing the downside after crude slid to levels last seen in early 2021, with Brent settling at $58.92 and WTI at $55.27 earlier in the week amid oversupply concerns and shifting expectations tied to Russia‑Ukraine diplomacy. Reuters But by Friday, prices bounced as traders reacted to escalating U.S. enforcement actions near Venezuela, with Brent at $60.47 and WTI

Pharma Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 22–26, 2025): Drug-Pricing Deals, FDA Catalysts, and M&A to Watch

Christmas week is usually about thin liquidity and shorter trading hours, not blockbuster headlines. But pharma and biotech stocks head into the final full week of the year with a rare mix of policy shockwaves, deal-making, and FDA-driven volatility—all clustered around Dec. 19–21, 2025. From the White House’s sweeping “most-favored-nation” (MFN) push on U.S. drug prices to BioMarin’s largest-ever acquisition and fresh FDA approvals, the setup into year-end has become more headline-sensitive than the calendar would suggest. Here’s what investors and traders should be watching in pharma stocks in the week ahead. Christmas week trading: shorter sessions, fewer buyers, faster

Cloud Computing US Stocks Week Ahead: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle, ServiceNow and IBM After a Volatile Dec. 8–14, 2025

Updated: December 14, 2025 Cloud computing stocks head into the week of Dec. 15, 2025 with investor attention split between two powerful forces: accelerating AI-driven demand for cloud infrastructure and growing market skepticism about the cost, timing, and margins of that buildout. The past week (Dec. 8–14) delivered a clear message for U.S.-listed cloud names: it’s no longer enough to show strong “AI exposure.” Markets increasingly want proof of profitable growth, durable demand signals, and disciplined capital spending, especially after Oracle’s outlook and spending plans rattled confidence and Broadcom’s margin commentary reignited “AI bubble” fears across technology.

Last week (Dec. 8–14, 2025) delivered a concentrated mix of catalysts: the Fed cut rates again but signaled caution, Big Tech’s global AI infrastructure buildout accelerated (with major India commitments), and AI’s geopolitical fault lines showed up in real time via Nvidia’s China export decisions and backlash.

Germany Stock Market Week Ahead: DAX Outlook on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange After the Fed Cut, ECB Decision and Key German Data (Updated 14.12.2025)

Frankfurt heads into the new week with the DAX balancing on a familiar year-end tightrope: global rate-cut optimism has improved risk appetite, but rising European bond yields and renewed debate about AI-driven equity valuations are keeping traders selective. On Friday, 12 December 2025, Germany’s benchmark index finished at 24,186.49, ending the session lower as risk sentiment cooled into the weekend. RTTNews Even so, several weekly summaries put the DAX modestly higher on the week (around +0.7%)—a gain built on mid-week central-bank relief that was later tested by a fresh wave of “AI bubble” jitters.

Updated: December 14, 2025 Mainland China’s stock market heads into the new week with a familiar tug-of-war: supportive policy messaging versus still-stubborn evidence of weak domestic demand—especially in property and household credit.

US Stock Market Week Ahead (Dec. 15–19, 2025): Delayed Jobs & CPI Data, AI-Trade Volatility, and a High-Stakes Year-End Test

New York — Dec. 14, 2025 — After a headline-grabbing Federal Reserve rate cut and a late-week tech stumble that revived “AI bubble” anxiety, Wall Street heads into the last full trading week of 2025 with an unusually packed catalyst list: a catch-up wave of delayed U.S. economic data, crucial inflation signals, and a final burst of major earnings that could shape positioning into the holidays. The setup is simple but consequential: stocks have enjoyed a strong 2025 run, yet the market’s next move may hinge less on narratives and more on hard numbers—November payrolls, November CPI, and retail spending—arriving all at once after weeks

GBP/USD and EUR/USD Weekly Outlook: Pound and Euro Hold Gains After Fed Cut — What to Watch Next Week (Dec 8–14, 2025)

Updated: December 14, 2025 GBP/USD and EUR/USD rose last week as the dollar softened after a Fed rate cut. Here’s what moved the pound, euro and USD — and what could drive prices in the week ahead. Sterling and the euro ended the week firmer against the US dollar, extending a December upswing as markets digested the Federal Reserve’s latest quarter-point rate cut and a run of weaker US data. But while GBP/USD advanced modestly, the pound lost ground against the euro, reflecting a softer UK growth picture and a market that is increasingly confident the Bank of England will cut rates at
