Скачать или смотреть Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq notch solid weekly gains to begin 'Santa Claus rally' perio

Here is why the stock market’s recent performance matters right now. Today’s headlines highlight a strong weekly gain for major indices, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq signaling the onset of the so-called “Santa Claus rally.” This seasonal pattern—traditionally seen in late December—often reflects investor optimism ahead of year-end liquidity flows and corporate earnings cycles. But beneath the surface, broader macro forces are shaping this momentum.

The S&P 500’s resilience today, despite a minor dip, underscores institutional buying pressure. Large-cap tech and healthcare sectors led the charge, driven by improved earnings guidance and renewed confidence in fiscal policy stability. Meanwhile, gold surged to $4,532.58, a 0.83% climb, reflecting heightened risk-off sentiment amid geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures.

This dynamic is amplified by global macro conditions. The Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot in recent statements has eased yield curve steepness, making equities more attractive relative to fixed income. Additionally, energy prices stabilize after weeks of volatility, reducing input costs for manufacturing sectors—a tailwind for industrial stocks.

However, the path forward remains cautious. Inflation metrics like CPI and PPI show persistent upward pressure, keeping the Fed’s balance sheet under scrutiny. Traders must weigh short-term optimism against long-term risks, including potential rate hikes and slowing consumer spending.

For institutional investors, the key lies in balancing exposure. RaymondSwing levels suggest overbought conditions in tech and cyclical sectors, prompting a tactical shift toward defensive utilities and dividend aristocrats. Position sizing should reflect the probability of near-term consolidation before the next earnings season.
