S&P Hits 6900, Wall St. Ends Year on High

Stock markets closed 2025 on a high note, with S&P 500 reaching new record highs. S&P futures barely budged, while Dow and Nasdaq futures remained flat. The year ended with impressive gains: S&P up 17.7%, Dow up 14.5%, and Nasdaq leading with 22.2%. Wall Street is now in the Santa Claus rally, a historically bullish period. The week ahead is light on data, but the Feds December meeting minutes, released Wednesday, will be closely watched for clues on future monetary policy.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
