Happy Holidays!

Hey,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

• S&P 500: -2.21% 
• Nasdaq 100: -2.24% 
• Russel 2000: -4.75%
• Bitcoin: -3.61%

Last week, stocks experienced what can only be described as a rollercoaster ride. The tech-heavy Nasdaq reached a record high on December 16th, buoyed by investor optimism ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. However, as the week progressed, market sentiment shifted due to the Fed's announcement of a quarter-point rate cut and indications that further cuts in 2025 might be limited or even reversed. This uncertainty led to volatility, with all major indices plummeting for two trading sessions.

On Friday, a cooler-than-expected inflation report provided a glimmer of hope for investors. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index came in lower than anticipated. This news spurred a rally, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all posting gains of over 1% for the day. Despite this rebound, the major indexes ended the week with losses.

Looking ahead to next week, degen traders should keep an eye on several key factors. The potential for a U.S. government shutdown looms large, as Congress has yet to agree on federal funding legislation. Additionally, any further statements from the Federal Reserve regarding monetary policy could influence market direction. Lastly, with the holiday season in full swing, retail sales data will be crucial in assessing consumer spending and overall economic health. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
