Wall Street Hits Fresh Closing Records Ahead of Christmas: When Stocks “Celebrate” and Gold–Silver Break Records

Wall Street Hits Fresh Closing Records Ahead of Christmas: When Stocks “Celebrate” and Gold–Silver Break Records

The shortened Christmas Eve session is usually defined by thin liquidity and muted moves. But 2025 was different: the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones closed at record highs, while gold and silver (and even platinum) printed new all-time records. It’s a rare picture: risk-on (stocks) and risk-off (safe-haven metals) both winning at the same time a sign that markets are walking into 2026 with two beliefs coexisting: rates may keep moving lower, but macro uncertainty still hasn’t left the room.

Gold Surges, Silver Explodes: Fresh Record Highs in a “Thin Holiday Week”

Gold Surges, Silver Explodes: Fresh Record Highs in a “Thin Holiday Week”

In a year-end holiday session when liquidity is thinner and price swings can be sharper precious metals have just delivered an unusually powerful breakout: gold pushed toward/above $4,500 per ounce and silver surged through $70, both printing new all-time highs. Notably, gold pulled back hard from the day’s peak after a stronger-than-expected U.S. GDP report gave hawkish policy voices fresh ammunition to argue against further rate cuts.

Gold Nears $4,500/oz, Silver Hits Record Around $70: What’s Fueling the Late-2025 Precious-Metals Surge?

On December 23, precious metals staged a session that felt unmistakably historic: spot gold pushed to fresh all-time highs, coming within a whisker of $4,500/oz after printing an intraday record near $4,497.55/oz, before easing to around $4,476/oz. U.S. gold futures (February) also climbed above $4,509/oz. At the same time, silver followed through with its own breakout, touching a record close to $69.98/oz, just shy of the psychologically important $70 level.

Nearly $1 Billion in Russian Gold in a Single Month: What China Is Really Stockpiling

Nearly $1 Billion in Russian Gold in a Single Month: What China Is Really Stockpiling

In November 2025, China imported a record $961 million worth of gold from Russia described as the largest bilateral gold deal on record. What makes this headline more than a one-off spike is the momentum behind it: October 2025 was also exceptionally strong at around $930 million, marking two consecutive months in which Russian gold exports to China exceeded $900 million.

AI-Linked IPOs in China Are Exploding — But Foreign Investors Can’t Easily “Join the Party

If you’ve been following China’s markets over the past few weeks, one thing is obvious: AI- and chip-related IPOs are on fire. Two of the most jaw-dropping examples are Moore Threads and MetaX Integrated Circuits both listed in Shanghai and both delivering “hard-to-believe” gains right out of the gate.

Japan’s Inflation Stays Above the BOJ Target for the 44th Month: Why a Rate Hike Looks Likely and Where the Risks Are

Japan’s Inflation Stays Above the BOJ Target for the 44th Month: Why a Rate Hike Looks Likely and Where the Risks Are

Japan’s latest inflation data suggests that headline CPI has cooled somewhat, but underlying inflation remains firm and continues to run above the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) 2% target. This combination strengthens the case that the BOJ has sufficient data support to keep normalizing monetary policy even as the economy faces clear growth headwinds.

Three Holds and a Cut”: How Europe’s Central Banks Are Closing Out 2025 on Rates

Three Holds and a Cut”: How Europe’s Central Banks Are Closing Out 2025 on Rates

This Thursday marks Europe’s year-end “closing entry” for monetary policy, as four major central banks release their final 2025 rate decisions and macro outlooks: the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of England (BoE), Sweden’s Riksbank, and Norway’s Norges Bank. The market’s base case is clear: only one of them is likely to move rates and that’s the BoE. But “holding” doesn’t mean “nothing to see”: in practice, guidance and internal policy debates are where markets reprice risk and opportunity.

Korea Zinc plunges 13% as Tennessee mega-smelter plan triggers shareholder power struggle

Korea Zinc plunges 13% as Tennessee mega-smelter plan triggers shareholder power struggle

On December 16, 2025, shares of Korea Zinc the world’s largest zinc smelter fell more than 13%, just one day after surging on news that the company would pursue a large-scale U.S. metals and critical minerals project in Tennessee. The selloff was driven by reports that the company’s largest shareholder bloc an alliance of Young Poong and MBK Partners is preparing to seek a court injunction to block Korea Zinc from issuing new shares tied to the project.
