💨 Abstract

On December 12, 2025, the U.S. stock market saw mixed results. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell slightly due to declines in AI-related stocks like Broadcom and Oracle, which despite strong earnings, faced investor concerns over future profitability and spending. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose, led by gains in McDonald’s and Visa, as investors grew more optimistic about interest rates following the Fed's recent cuts.
