Zaveckas Laurynas @Bladke: "As we head into the..."

United Kingdom

As we head into the final stretch of the year, markets are flashing classic signs of a Christmas rally: lighter volumes, steady inflows, and improving risk appetite. FED meeting: At the December 9–10 meeting, the Fed is broadly expected to cut rates by 0.25%, which would bring the policy rate into the 3.50%–3.75% range. This would mark the Fed’s third consecutive rate cut in 2025, aimed at providing support for a slowing labor market while inflation data remains uneven. The tricky part is that recent U.S. economic data has been pushed back due to the earlier government shutdown, leaving the Fed with a more limited read on current conditions. Markets aren’t focused only on the cut itself — the Fed’s outlook for 2026 will be pivotal, influencing bond yields, the dollar, and broader risk sentiment. Rate cut decision could swing market either way so need to watch the space and be careful. Small market recap: U.S. stocks edged lower today, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all slipping as traders took a cautious stance ahead of the upcoming Fed decision. Tech and AI names still showed selective strength, even as overall sentiment stayed subdued. Global markets, including Asia, also pulled back, weighed down by interest-rate uncertainty and broader macro pressures. Treasury yields remained elevated, continuing to strain rate-sensitive parts of the market. Bottom line: all eyes are on the Fed—its next move could steer both market sentiment and volatility in the days ahead. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $BTC $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $META (Meta Platforms Inc)
