Happy Thursday. This is TheStreet's Stock Market Today for Sept. 25, 2025. You can follow the latest updates on the market here in our daily live blog.
We just got a wide range of economic data drops in the last few minutes. Remarkably, they're all pretty strong.
Durable Goods orders ticked up after two months of declines, +2.9% month-over-month [Prev: -2.7%] [Consensus: -0.5%]
GDP Growth Rate erased last quarter's 0.6% decline, replacing +3.8% quarter-over-quarter [Consensus: +3.3%]
Initial Jobless Claims were lower than expected (good!) at 218,000 [Prev: 232,000]
On the news, the Dollar Index DXY (+0.36%) rose to its highest point in three weeks.
Unfortunately, U.S. equities are taking a walk off a cliff this morning anyway, with futures for all four indexes in decline today. The Russell 2000 (-1.16%) is worst off, while the Dow (-0.31%) is best-situated going into the open.
The final full week of the third quarter is drawing to a close. It has been an eventful quarter, which has seen stocks to fresh highs amid the backdrop of weaker economic data and Federal Reserve-flavored anticipation.
But before we wrap up the quarter, we have one more big day of earnings and economic data. Yes, we've had plenty of those in what feels like the distant past. However, today is really the last "goodbye" to this remarkably strange three months in the market.
Here's what to keep an eye on today:

Here's all of them with a market cap greater than $1 billion:
Today is the busiest day of economic data this week, with Durable Goods Orders, Q2 GDP Data, Initial Jobless Claims, and Existing Home Sales among the reports coming this morning.
Not only that, but those versed in Fedspeak will be up bright and early for commentary from the Chicago Fed's Austan Goolsbee. Later in the day, there's even more Fed leaders slated to speak.
Here's everything on the docket for today:
