NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 21:21 ET — Market closed
- MercadoLibre shares ended modestly higher on Monday, outpacing a dip in U.S. indexes.
- Traders are positioning for Federal Reserve minutes on Tuesday and a holiday-shifted jobless-claims release on Wednesday.
- The next company calendar marker is a provisional date for fourth-quarter results in late February.
MercadoLibre shares closed up about 0.4% on Monday at $2,014.97, a small gain that contrasted with declines in major U.S. stock indexes ahead of year-end.
The move matters because MercadoLibre, a high-growth e-commerce and fintech name with large Latin American exposure, tends to be sensitive to shifts in U.S. interest-rate expectations and the dollar. Traders are focused this week on the Fed’s December meeting minutes after the central bank cut rates earlier this month and signaled a more cautious path, Reuters reported.
Wall Street’s main indexes ended lower on Monday in thin holiday trading, weighed by a broad selloff led by technology names, while Treasury yields eased, according to a Reuters market wrap. “In light volume trading, we’re seeing a reversal of what we saw over the last couple of days,” Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said.

MercadoLibre traded between roughly $1,986 and $2,037 during the session, and remains well below its 52-week high after a volatile 2025 tape for growth stocks.
The company runs an ecosystem spanning its Mercado Libre marketplace, Mercado Pago payments platform and Mercado Envios logistics network, among other services, a securities filing describes.
For investors, the near-term setup keeps the focus on macro signals rather than company headlines, with rate expectations and currency moves often driving short-term shifts in appetite for emerging-market growth exposure.
Before Tuesday’s session, the next scheduled macro catalyst is the release of the Fed’s December meeting minutes at 2:00 p.m. ET. The minutes are the central bank’s detailed written account of what policymakers debated and can move markets if it shifts expectations for future rate cuts.
Traders are also watching U.S. weekly jobless claims, which will be released on Wednesday, Dec. 31, due to the New Year’s Day holiday. U.S. stock markets are set to be open on Dec. 31 and closed on Jan. 1, while bond markets close early on Dec. 31, MarketWatch reported.
On the chart, a break below the $2,000 level could draw attention after Monday’s intraday low near $1,986, while a push back toward the day’s high around $2,037 would put the stock closer to recent resistance from late-December trading.

Until then, investors are likely to keep benchmarking the stock against rate-sensitive growth peers and watching for signals on consumer demand and payments activity across Latin America as 2025 closes out.
