Good MorningSanta Claus made an appearance last week as the S&P 500 edged higher in holiday-shortened trading and broke out of its Q4 consolidation to reach new highs. The move reflected broad market strength, with the Dow setting records, the Nasdaq holding bullish patterns, and small caps trending near highs. Economic data was mixed but supportive overall, highlighted by strong Q3 GDP growth and improving labor conditions as jobless and continuing claims declined toward year's end.
The focus now shifts to a light but meaningful week ahead, including jobless claims and the release of FOMC minutes. Earnings season begins in less than two weeks, with rising earnings revisions shaping expectations into 2026. The AI trade remains central as investors monitor datacenter spending, GPU demand, and guidance, while sector rotation and January positioning set the tone as markets head into the new year.
