Wall Street Is Slipping in Light Trading on the Final Day of 2025

On Wednesday, futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow ticked down 0.1% while Nasdaq futures fell 0.2% as institutional investors largely closed positions, making trading light on the final trading day of 2025 ahead of Thursday's market closure.
Valuation worries show that investors doubt artificial intelligence technology will yield enough profits, while inflation and a U.S.-led trade war add macro risks despite three rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
This year the S&P 500 has climbed more than 17%, while silver lost over 8% early Wednesday after gains and gold fell 1.5% but remains up 66% in 2025.
