Sugar Falls as India Ramps Up Production; Brazil Outlook Pressures Prices

December 1, 2025, 11:36 PM EST. Sugar prices closed at one-week lows as India ramps up cane crushing, with Oct-Nov output up 50% y/y to 4.1 MMT and 424 mills active as of Nov 30. A stronger domestic supply backdrop, plus rising Brazil Center-South output and revised 2025/26 forecasts (Brazil near 45 MMT) weigh on futures. Early November data show Brazil production up 8.7% y/y; some traders also note a cut to 2026/27 output to 41.5 MMT. India's food ministry weighing a higher ethanol blending price could divert cane from sugar. A 1.5 MMT export quota for 2025/26 supports tighter domestic balance. The ISO sees a global sugar surplus in 2025-26, with a +3.2% y/y rise to 181.8 MMT, helping explain the softer prices despite occasional rallies.

Cocoa Prices Rally as ICCO Cuts Global Surplus and Ivory Coast Shipments Drop

Also weighing on sentiment were the EU deforestation law delay and softer demand headlines, with Halloween sales cited as a weakness for chocolate demand.

Coffee Prices Slip as Global Supply Outlook Improves on EU Deforestation Delay

December 1, 2025, 11:32 PM EST. March arabica (KCH26) and January ICE robusta (RMF26) closed lower, pulling prices to a roughly one-week trough. The weaker tone stems from an improved global supply outlook after the EU approved a one-year delay to the EUDR deforestation law, permitting continued imports from Africa, Indonesia and South America. Brazil weather remains a factor: Minas Gerais received rain, tempering drought fears, though ICE inventories for arabica at 398,645 bags and robusta at 4,342 lots remain near multi-month lows and supportive of prices. US tariffs softened demand for Brazilian beans, tightening domestic stocks. Vietnam's record exports and a larger 2026/27 crop forecast by StoneX weigh on prices, while ICO exports hint at a mixed demand backdrop.

Prediction: These 4 Tech Giants Could Reach $5 Trillion by 2028

December 1, 2025, 11:28 PM EST. Analysts predict that four mega-cap tech names could join the $5 trillion club by 2028. The piece notes that Nvidia briefly crossed the threshold earlier this year and was around $4.4 trillion before the downturn, with AI GPUs driving demand. It argues Nvidia could reach $5 trillion if it sustains AI-led growth, and that Apple would need roughly 21% revenue expansion by 2028 to join the club, though its premium valuation and slower growth pose a challenge. Alphabet and Microsoft are also cited as capable of growing into the $5 trillion mark over the next several years. The takeaway: sustained growth, AI demand, and favorable earnings trajectories could propel multiple names to a $5 trillion market cap by 2028.

The 3 Best Trillion-Dollar Stocks to Buy Now (Nvidia Isn't One of Them)

December 1, 2025, 11:24 PM EST. AI chip leadership could shift away from Nvidia as Alphabet explores selling its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to Meta. If confirmed, a new trio of beneficiaries emerges in the TPU value chain: Alphabet, Broadcom, and Meta. Alphabet could unlock a new revenue stream by selling TPUs beyond Google Cloud, bolstering its cloud and AI initiatives. Broadcom stands to gain from ongoing TPU design and supply deals. Meta would likely be a major TPU customer, aligning with its AI-driven data-center expansion. The potential move is not guaranteed, but the potential rebalancing could diversify the trillion-dollar stock landscape beyond Nvidia. Investors should monitor any official confirmations and valuation implications.

December 1, 2025, 10:22 PM EST. Jay Woods, chief market strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, flags a retail momentum story and a clutch of earnings plays for the week.

Sugar Prices Fall as India Ramps Up Cane Crushing; Global Supply Outlook Mixed

December 1, 2025, 10:20 PM EST. Sugar prices slipped as India ramps up cane crushing, with the front-month NY and London white sugar futures lower on stronger domestic production. The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories said Oct-Nov sugar output jumped about 50% y/y to 4.1 MMT, as 424 mills crushed 46.8 MMT of cane by Nov 30. The backdrop remains bearish on global stocks: Brazil's Conab lifted 2025/26 output to about 45 MMT and ISO still foresees a global surplus in 2025-26, with world production up ~3.2% y/y to around 181.8 MMT. Still, policy moves-India considering ethanol-linked incentives and export allowances-could limit domestic stock buildup and offer occasional support. Market chatter continues to focus on Sugar, India, Brazil, ISO, and ethanol dynamics.

Powell's Term Ends: Hassett Emerges as Favored Fed Chair Pick

December 1, 2025, 10:02 PM EST. Powell's term ends in May 2026, and markets are watching the Fed's next move. Powell steered through the COVID crash, the 2022 inflation spike, and the 2023 regional banking scare, earning broad support on Wall Street despite debate over his legacy. Critics aligned with President Trump accuse him of slow rate cuts; supporters stress Fed independence. On betting markets, Kevin Hassett-the current NEC director-has surged as the favorite to replace Powell, with odds near 75%. A Hassett-led Fed is viewed as dovish and potentially bullish for rates-sensitive stocks such as JPM, HD, LEN, NEE, and AEP. Bottom line: the policy leadership at the Fed is shifting, with substantial implications for markets.

Can PBNA Deliver PepsiCo's 2026 Mid-Teens Margin Target?

December 1, 2025, 10:01 PM EST. PepsiCo's PBNA unit is steering toward a mid-teens operating margin by 2026, aided by zero-sugar expansion, protein-infused innovations and stronger away-from-home channels. Q3 2025 delivered 2% organic revenue growth despite a three-point volume drag from the water case-pack transition. Core brands like Pepsi and Mountain Dew posted rebound momentum; Propel poised to top $1 billion in annual retail sales; PBNA also expanded distribution for Celsius-owned brands. On costs, PBNA is trimming complexity-over 35% of SKUs cut since 2022-and pursuing productivity gains in logistics. The plan faces inflation and consumer-price sensitivity headwinds, but signs of momentum support a credible target if innovation and cost actions scale. Peers KO and KDP likewise pursue ambitious targets, with Coca-Cola broadly on track and MNST showing solid progress.

Airbus stock slides as A320 software glitch triggers largest recall in 55 years

December 1, 2025, 9:52 PM EST. Airbus shares fell after the company announced a recall of its A320 family to install a software update following a late-October incident involving a JetBlue flight. In Europe, Paris-listed Airbus down about 5.8% on the Stoxx 600, trading near $192.58, while U.S.-listed shares slipped about 2.4% to $56.35 on the OTC market. The recall, the largest in Airbus's 55-year history, targets data-critical flight-control software after regulators cited potential impacts from intense solar radiation. The EASA and FAA orders require U.S. airlines to complete work quickly, with most of roughly 6,000 A320s already modified. Airlines including American, Delta, and Avianca faced varying flight disruptions. Airbus's market cap remains above Boeing's, underscoring differing stock trajectories in aerospace.

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) Could Rally 140% in 12 Months as Quantum Deployments Accelerate

December 1, 2025, 9:50 PM EST. D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) is entering a pivotal phase as new quantum deployments, a cleaned-up capital structure, and expanding government access reshape its long-term outlook. With rising federal funding momentum and growing commercial interest, the company positions itself inside one of tech's most explosive themes for the coming decade. Prices referenced reflect Nov. 27, 2025, with the video published Nov. 30, 2025. The piece contrasts D-Wave's trajectory with The Motley Fool's Stock Advisor emphasis on other top picks, noting historical examples like Netflix and Nvidia that would have yielded outsized returns. It also cites Stock Advisor's solid track record and disclosure practices. As always, investors should weigh risks alongside potential upside in this evolving quantum landscape.

Coherent (COHR) Poised to Capitalize on EV Momentum Through SiC Substrates and Strategic Investments

December 1, 2025, 9:46 PM EST. Coherent Corp. (COHR) is leveraging its SiC substrates and high-power laser tech to ride the global EV market surge, with a $1 billion investment from Denso and Mitsubishi Electric that secures minority stakes and supply agreements for 150mm/200mm substrates and epitaxial wafers. The deal boosts free cash flow and funds SiC expansion, positioning COHR as a leading supplier in EV power electronics while reducing balance-sheet risk. Financials show robustness: Q1 fiscal 2026 revenue up 17% YoY, with margins up 249 bps; fiscal 2025 gross margin up 400 bps. Yet COHR faces competitive pressure from Cognex and Applied Materials in battery process equipment. Valuation sits at ~29.6x forward P/E vs industry ~25.2x. Zacks ranks COHR #2 Buy.

Criteo and NetEase Shine in AI-Driven Internet Software & Services Rally

December 1, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. The Internet Software & Services sector remains economically sensitive but resilient, with revenue volatility tempered by global exposure and rising dividends. Macro headwinds from tariffs, inflation, and rate hikes have weighed on estimates, yet a steadier economy and a stronger dollar help support consumer spend. Companies like Criteo (CRTO) and NetEase (NTES) stand out due to their global footprints, retention through subscriptions and platforms, and accelerating AI-driven efficiency. As the backbone of the digital economy, the group benefits from broad demand for cloud-first software and data analytics, even as valuations retreat to more attractive levels. The trend toward AI adoption and cloud-based services should sustain growth, though dispersion remains across players as investors reassess risk and growth trajectories.

Oil prices rally on dollar weakness and reduced Russian oil exports

December 1, 2025, 9:40 PM EST. Crude futures gained as the dollar weakened, lifting energy assets. January WTI (CLF26) rose about 1.2% and January RBOB (RBF26) jumped roughly 2%, marking multiday highs for oil and gasoline. A softer dollar supports higher prices for commodities amid tighter expectations for Russian crude exports. Attacks that disrupted a Baltic Sea terminal and geopolitical risks around Venezuela added risk tone. Markets weigh OPEC+'s December supply stance against a potential Q1-2026 pause and a looming global oil surplus, alongside higher U.S. production forecasts and sanctions affecting Russian flows. Traders will monitor supply discipline and demand signals as year-end revisions approach.

Improved Global Coffee Supply Situation Weighs on Prices

December 1, 2025, 9:38 PM EST. March arabica futures (KCH26) and January ICE robusta (RMF26) are down, with coffee prices posting a 1-week low. The softer tone for global supply comes after the European Parliament approved a 1-year delay to the EUDR deforestation law, keeping ample coffee supplies. The delay allows continued imports from regions with deforestation activity in Africa, Indonesia, and South America. Losses are limited by Brazil dryness concerns, with Minas Gerais receiving 20.4 mm of rain (39% of average). Shrinking ICE inventories supports prices, arabica at a 1.75-year low and robusta at a 6.75-month low. US tariffs reduced Brazilian purchases, tightening supplies. Brazil's 2026/27 forecast and rising Vietnam output add nuance, while ICO data show global exports down 0.3% y/y to 138.658 million bags.

STUB Investor Alert: Hagens Berman Probes StubHub IPO Disclosures in Securities Class Action

December 1, 2025, 9:36 PM EST. Hagens Berman has opened a securities investigation into StubHub (STUB) over its IPO disclosures. The proposed class action, Salabaj v. StubHub Holdings, seeks to represent investors who bought shares at the September 17, 2025 IPO (~34 million shares at $23.50). Plaintiffs allege the offering documents were negligently prepared and failed to disclose known trends, events or uncertainties, while placing heavy emphasis on free cash flow as a key liquidity metric. In Q3 2025, StubHub reported negative free cash flow of $4.6 million and net cash from operations of $3.8 million, and withheld Q4 guidance. The stock fell roughly 20% after the results, closing around $14.87, about 36% below the IPO price. Hagens Berman is examining market opportunity, growth prospects, and regulatory risk.

Global Exchanges Urge SEC to Curb Tokenized Stocks Exemptive Relief

December 1, 2025, 9:34 PM EST. A coalition of more than 250 exchanges and clearing houses, led by the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), has urged the SEC to slow its move toward exemptive relief for platforms offering tokenized U.S. stocks. In a letter to the Crypto Task Force, the WFE warned that broad exemptions risk investors and market integrity and should not apply to platforms that refuse standard SEC registration and Exchange Act standards. The group urged any relief be conditional, with ongoing SEC oversight, robust AML safeguards, and clear governance. The letter follows a recent SEC roundtable and signals support for public rulemaking over large-scale exemptive relief, while acknowledging the push for a sandbox to spur innovation under regulation.

Jacobs Stock: Hold for Margin Momentum and Record Backlog

December 1, 2025, 9:32 PM EST. Jacobs Solutions Inc. enters fiscal 2026 with a record backlog of $23.1 billion and improving EBITDA margin (14.4% in Q4 fiscal 2025), underscoring disciplined costs and higher-value work. Management targets another 50-80 bp margin lift in fiscal 2026, supported by digital and AI-driven tools and a diversified portfolio spanning digital solutions, infrastructure, and public-sector advisory. The firm has won notable contracts, including the New York MTA's Interborough Express and ongoing work with the UK's Aqua DNA platform via United Utilities and the Crown Commercial Service framework, all contributing to a solid long-term growth trajectory. Yet near-term headwinds persist: seasonal margin effects, cash-flow pressures and softer environmental markets. With a book-to-bill of 1.1x and a strategic international footprint, Jacobs remains a compelling hold for patient investors.

Zacks Rank #1 and rising revisions tend to outperform the S&P 500, suggesting the trend could continue as earnings visibility improves.

Crypto price crash drags indices lower; top losers and gainers to watch

Micron (MU) Earnings Preview: Positive ESP Signals Yet Another Beat on the Way

December 1, 2025, 9:22 PM EST. Micron (MU) has built a streak of beating earnings estimates, with the last two quarters delivering surprises of 9.09% and 2.29% and an average beat of about 5.69%. The upcoming report on June 25, 2025 could extend this run as the stock posts a positive Earnings ESP (+6.38%) alongside a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The combination of a bullish Most Accurate Estimate versus the Zacks Consensus boosts the odds of another beat, with studies showing roughly seven of ten such stocks beat. Investors should note that a negative Earnings ESP would weaken the forecast, while earnings surprises are not guaranteed by ESP alone. Stay tuned for Micron's latest quarterly print.

Will Winnebago (WGO) Beat Estimates Again in Its Next Earnings Report?

December 1, 2025, 9:20 PM EST. Winnebago Industries (WGO) has a history of beating estimates, with the most recent quarter posting EPS of $0.71 vs the $0.58 consensus (+22.4%) and the prior quarter at $0.81 vs $0.79 (+2.5%). The stock benefits from a positive Earnings ESP (+17.6%) and a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), suggesting room for another upside surprise. Historically, combining a positive Earnings ESP with a Hold rank yields a roughly 70% chance of beating. Investors should monitor any fresh revisions before the release, as near-term optimism remains reflected in the upside surprise potential. However, ESP values can be misleading if not considered with the broader earnings trajectory.

Wabtec Stock: Hold or Sell Despite Higher Valuation?

December 1, 2025, 9:18 PM EST. Wabtec (WAB) trades at a premium, with a forward 12-month P/S of 3.03x vs the industry's 2.15x and above the five-year median of 2.08x, signaling an unattractive valuation despite a rising stock. The stock carries a Value Score of D. Key risks weigh: persistent supply-chain issues, higher commodity costs, workers and chips shortages, higher SG&A, and substantial foreign exposure with currency volatility. Year-to-date, WAB is up about 10.6%, outperforming the industry (8.3%) but lagging peers like Ryder. On the positive side, Wabtec emphasizes new technologies, safety and reliability improvements, and aggressive cost-cutting and portfolio optimization to lift profitability. Its free cash flow supports dividends, though the valuation begs patience for investors focused on fundamentals.

U.S. stocks drift lower as indices threaten Wall Street's 5-day winning streak

December 1, 2025, 9:16 PM EST. U.S. stock indices drifted lower on the session, threatening to snap Wall Street's 5-day winning streak as traders weighed mixed data and shifting rate expectations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq edged into the red, led by declines in economically sensitive names and recent gainers pulling back after a broad rally. Investors weighed upcoming data against cooling inflation signals and the evolving outlook for Federal Reserve policy. Sector dispersion widened, with growth and cyclical groups selling off while defensives found some footing. Trading volume was modest, leaving the market vulnerable to headlines. A break below key support could extend the downside, while a bounce would renew momentum for the bulls.

Stocks Fall as Yields Rise, Bitcoin Slumps; BOJ Signals Possible Rate Hike

December 1, 2025, 9:14 PM EST. Stocks are trading lower on Tuesday as rising bond yields spark risk-off sentiment. The S&P 500 ($SPX), Dow ($DOWI), and Nasdaq 100 ($IUXX) futures pointed to declines, and the 10-year yield climbed to about 4.08% as Japan's BOJ hinted it could raise rates again. Bitcoin tumbled over 7%, weighing sentiment, even as WTI crude rose roughly 1% and provided some offset. In data, the ISM manufacturing index fell to 48.2, with the ISM price paid index rising to 58.5, signaling persistent price pressures. The China PMIs and other data remained soft. Traders await the ADP payrolls, PCE inflation, and other Friday releases. The tone remains cautious with higher yields and policy chatter keeping risk appetite subdued.

Robinhood Stock Drops as Crypto Selloff and PBOC Warnings Hit HOOD

December 1, 2025, 9:12 PM EST. Robinhood Markets (HOOD) shares slipped about 7% through midmorning trading after broad crypto weakness spilled into stocks. The trigger: a crypto rout sparked by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) warning of renewed speculation and a crackdown on illicit stablecoins, prompting a sharp drop in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (all down double digits). The trouble for Robinhood is its heavy reliance on crypto trading for growth: in Q3, crypto revenues surged, helping overall transaction-based revenues rise, even as stock and options trading also grew. If crypto demand cools as traders retreat or use less leverage, Robinhood's growth rate could slow and its rich valuation (over 50x trailing earnings) may come under pressure. The Motley Fool's Stock Advisor offers alternatives, and HOOD isn't among its top picks.

Novo Nordisk Valuation in Focus After Share Price Rebound

December 1, 2025, 9:10 PM EST. Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) posted a 9.7% weekly rebound after a challenging year-to-date, leaving the stock down about 43% YTD and -53.7% over 12 months. The 5-year return remains positive at 53.8%, underscoring a durable core business despite volatility. The valuation debate centers on a split: at ~ $49.35 per share, some narratives peg fair value near $120.72, implying upside if growth and margins recover. Yet concerns persist about reliance on GLP-1 products, with ~80% of revenue tied to semaglutide, and pricing/access risks in the US. Regulatory pressures from the Inflation Reduction Act, FX headwinds, and potential tariffs could dampen earnings momentum. Investors must weigh whether the market has priced in future growth or if the stock remains undervalued against long-term fundamentals.

Finland's Framery prices €230m IPO at top of range

December 1, 2025, 9:08 PM EST. Finland's Framery has priced its IPO at the top of the range, aiming to raise about €230 million. The pricing signals strong investor demand for Framery's expansion story in office pods and aligns with a robust Nordic listing environment.

DRNZ: Monday Unusual Volume in the REX Drone ETF

December 1, 2025, 9:06 PM EST. The DRNZ ETF saw unusually high turnover Monday, with over 267,000 shares traded versus a three-month average of ~34,000. The fund itself fell about 2.5% on the day. Heaviest activity clustered in its components: Ondas Holdings moved more than 29.0 million shares and slid roughly 2%; Palantir Technologies traded on volume of over 15.2 million shares while the stock was flat.

Crypto on edge as yen carry unwind threatens stocks

December 1, 2025, 9:04 PM EST. Crypto markets were volatile in November and remain unsettled in December, hinting at broader pressure for equities. Bitcoin slid about 7% in 24 hours to around $85,000 after a late Sunday plunge as the December session opened in Asia. Ether fell nearly 10%. The move reflects rising risk-off sentiment and traders reevaluating the unwind of the yen carry trade ahead of a potential Bank of Japan rate rise. Higher Japanese yields would strengthen the yen, making cheap yen borrowing less profitable and squeezing liquidity. That could force traders to sell crypto and, in turn, weigh on stocks. US indexes were lower, with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq slipping as December kicks off.

Markets Open Lower as Data Delays Blur Jobs Week Ahead of PCE, PMI

December 1, 2025, 9:02 PM EST. Markets opened lower as pre-market futures slide, with the Dow down about -0.4%, the S&P 500 -0.67%, and the Nasdaq -0.94%.

Cyber Monday activity remains solid online: Adobe expects $11.8B in online sales and Mastercard reports strong online growth, though in-store traffic remains softer. Traders weigh whether another 25 bps cut is needed as the Fed goes into blackout ahead of December 10. This week also features Imports-Exports data, the all-important PCE print Friday, and final PMI reads for November.

OTC Markets Ties with Deutsche Börse to Lure US Investors, Sidestep Full Dual Listings

December 1, 2025, 9:00 PM EST. OTC Markets Group has struck a partnership with Deutsche Börse to help European listings access US capital without pursuing a full dual listing on Wall Street. The deal aims to bolster liquidity and investor visibility for companies trading on Deutsche Börse's platforms by directing US investor interest toward OTC quotation services. The arrangement gives European bourses a potential hedge against US exchange listings, while OTC gains a path to broaden its international footprint. In a climate where European bourses push back on US listing competition, the alliance positions OTC as a bridge to US markets rather than a direct listing alternative.

What is the K-shaped economy and why it matters for markets

December 1, 2025, 8:54 PM EST. The K-shaped economy describes divergent fortunes: the upper part sees rising incomes and wealth for higher-income Americans, while the lower part struggles with weak income gains amid stubborn inflation. The term helps explain a period of muddled growth: solid overall activity and steady consumer spending, yet slower hiring and a wobbling unemployment rate. AI-driven investment and data-center building boost demand for some sectors, even as factories shed jobs and home sales lag. The story fuels concerns about affordability and inequality, with asset inflation benefiting the wealthy while wage gains lag for many workers. Markets may hover near highs even as wage growth slows and inflation remains a political issue.

Dollar Softens as Fed Rate-Cut Bets Rise; Euro Extends Gains on ECB Outlook

December 1, 2025, 8:52 PM EST. The dollar is softer, with the DXY down about 0.33% to a two-week low as Fed rate-cut bets rise ahead of the December policy meeting.

Markets price in a 100% odds of a 25bp Fed cut at the Dec 9-10 meeting, while potential Fed Chair candidate Hassett adds dovish risk. The EUR/USD climbs about 0.32% to two-week highs on euro optimism and Nagel's hawkish stance, with the ECB seen as closer to end of cutting. Eurozone PMIs also softened (S&P PMI 49.6). On USD/JPY, the yen strengthens about 0.7% as Nikkei sinks, and Japan Q3 capex rose 2.9% y/y, undershooting expectations.

United Rentals Becomes Oversold as RSI Dips to 29.9

December 1, 2025, 8:34 PM EST. Dividend Channel's DividendRank places United Rentals Inc (URI) in the top half of its coverage universe, signaling a potentially compelling idea for investors. The stock has slipped into oversold territory, with the RSI at 29.9 on Thursday – well below the 30 threshold that signals momentum exhaustion.

A weaker price can lift yield for income buyers, especially with URI's annual dividend of 5.92 per share, yielding about 1.69% based on the recent price in the mid-300s. Bulls could view the RSI decline as a setup for an entry point, though due diligence on dividend history remains prudent.

YieldBoost on LPL Financial (LPLA): Covered Call Could Raise Yield from 0.3% to 9.2%

December 1, 2025, 8:30 PM EST. Investors in LPL Financial Holdings (LPLA) could boost income by selling the December 2026 covered call at the $410 strike. With a $33.00 bid, the premium annualizes to about 8.8%, adding to the stock's 0.3% dividend yield for a total potential 9.2% annualized yield if the shares stay below $410. If LPLA is called away, upside beyond $410 is forfeited, but the stock would need only about a 14.8% rise to trigger assignment, yielding roughly 24% total return from the trade plus any dividends earned before the call. The strategy's risk is capped upside; downside mirrors the stock's risk and depends on volatility and profitability. This illustrates the YieldBoost concept often discussed on StockOptionsChannel.

Bloomberg Analysts Warn Bitcoin's Slide Below $86K Signals Deeper Bear Market

December 1, 2025, 8:20 PM EST. Bitcoin slipped below $86,000 as Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone warned the 7% drop marks the opening act of a deeper bear market. The move comes as crypto markets log their worst month since February, with exchange volumes at $1.59 trillion and bitcoin ETFs bleeding $3.48 billion in November. McGlone says Bitcoin could fall another 35% toward the $50,000 region. He cites normal market reversion, record gold prices, subdued stock volatility, and an influx of competing cryptos. A likely BOJ rate hike in December ties into a weaker yen carry trade, with odds around 52% (Polymarket) and 76% among bonds. Glassnode flags a heavy overhead supply block at $93k-$99k and resistance at $101k-$105k.

Barrick weighs spin-off of North American assets into IPO; potential Newmont play

December 1, 2025, 8:18 PM EST. Barrick Mining Corp. is weighing a spin-off of its North American assets into a separate IPO, with a majority stake kept by Barrick. The plan aims to unlock value after the stock traded at a discount to peers. The assets in question include Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick 65%), Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic (Barrick 60%), and Four Mile in Nevada, with the latter fully owned. Analysts say a disciplined spin-off could yield a top-five global producer, producing about two million ounces annually at an all-in sustaining cost around US$1,640/oz. The move could lift Barrick's share price by 15-20%, but the assets account for roughly 60% of Barrick's current net value and could become an acquisition target for Newmont Corp.

December 1, 2025, 8:14 PM EST. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has surged on the AI wave in 2025, rallying over 117% before retreating from a high near $208 to roughly $165 as tech rotations and valuation concerns cooled gains. The market's prediction odds show no clear breakout for year-end 2025, with bets clustering around $165-$170 and thin liquidity underscoring caution.

December 1, 2025, 8:12 PM EST. InnovestX Securities has selected Intercontinental Exchange's Portfolio Analytics to upgrade risk management and cross-asset analytics, consolidating pre-trade pricing, intraday analytics, and lifecycle management.

Investors should weigh regulatory and cyclical risks in energy and commodities. With divergent fair-value views, ICE remains at the crossroads of electronic trading and analytics, offering upside tempered by policy and market volatility.

Intel's Apple Deal Won't Save INTC: Limited Upside Amid Turnaround Challenges

December 1, 2025, 5:50 PM EST. This article argues that even if Intel and Apple sealed a deal, it would likely be incremental, not a cure for INTC's fundamentals. Apple's pivot to in-house silicon and performance concerns around supply and margins limit the strategic upside. The piece highlights ongoing turnaround challenges, stiff competition from AMD and NVIDIA, and the capital-intensive nature of foundries. Any collaboration might boost near-term sentiment but offers limited long-term value without broader execution, price/competitive pressures, or a sustained market upturn. Investors should weigh potential synergy against execution risks, capital needs, and the uncertain timing of any deal within the context of semiconductor demand and AI chip demand.

Apple Could Give Intel's Foundry Ambitions a Much-Needed Boost

December 1, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Intel's IFS unit has aimed to manufacture for external clients, backed by $7.86 billion in CHIPS Act funding and an 18A process. Yet, IFS has posted large losses and delays, with 2024 losses near $13 billion. A potential deal with Apple (AAPL) could provide credibility and a revenue stream, with Apple reportedly testing 18A samples for entry-level M-series chips slated for 2027-volumes of about 15-20 million units. The project would run at Arizona's Fab 62, aligning with Apple's domestic push, while Apple would still rely on TSMC for most production. If confirmed, the modest $0.5-$1 billion annual revenue by 2028 would help cover fixed costs and build a track record, signaling real progress for Intel's foundry ambitions.

Global growth concerns resurfaced as China PMIs contracted and traders eyed BoJ policy and US data. The so-called Santa rally looks less certain amid volatility, with earnings reports from MongoDB, CrowdStrike, Snowflake, Salesforce and Pure Storage on deck, plus ISM and Powell speeches ahead.
