Investors are on pins and needles waiting for Friday's December payrolls report, with expectations at around 55,000. Weak data Wednesday helped weigh on Treasury yields and stocks.
Investors await job openings and ADP employment data, but worries about geopolitics, including Greenland and Venezuela, remain in the mix after Tuesday's rally to new record highs.
Wall Street responded positively Monday to weekend U.S. strikes on Venezuela. Focus could stay on developments there and in oil today before jobs data start rolling in tomorrow.
Ahead of Friday's jobs report, investors might focus on the U.S. action against Venezuela and a tech industry meeting featuring Nvidia's CEO. Manufacturing data are due today, but earnings are sparse.
Stocks start 2026 on a four-day skid after another drop Wednesday amid little news. Trading could be light between the holiday and the weekend. No major data or earnings are due.
The S&P 500 index is down three straight days but up 17% for the year. Jobless claims are the only data on tap but today is a full trading session before tomorrow's holiday.
In an otherwise slow holiday week, one highlight is Fed minutes due at 2 p.m. ET. Thin volume has made trends tough to track, and stocks fell Monday amid tech and metals weakness.
Fed minutes tomorrow highlight another holiday-shortened week where volume could be light. No major earnings or data are due, and trading is shortened Wednesday and shut Thursday.
Investors will look ahead to the new year with no major economic reports and only a few earnings releases on the calendar. Fed minutes and housing data will be in focus next week.
Investors have a thin slate of earnings and economic data to monitor today, leaving the focus on the stronger-than-expected third-quarter GDP report with stocks at a record high.
Improving investor sentiment around AI helped stocks claw back late last week, while trading could be light in coming days ahead of holiday closures. GDP data is due tomorrow.
After Thursday's comeback driven by CPI data and Micron, investors contemplate a BOJ rate decision and earnings from Nike and FedEx. Consumer sentiment data is due after the open.
The S&P 500 starts today on a four-day losing streak ahead of an ECB rate decision and U.S. CPI. Analysts expect a 0.3% headline inflation rise. FedEx and Nike report later today.
Micron reports later with investors still digesting Tuesday's jobs data. CPI data, FedEx, and Nike loom Thursday, with tech shares under a microscope for potential signs of life.
Today's delayed November jobs report at 8:30 a.m. ET is likely to set the tone. Analysts see lethargic growth of 30,000. Tech shares, especially AI, lost more ground Monday.
Tomorrow's jobs report, Thursday's Nike results and Friday's BOJ decision are weekly highlights, but focus could stay on fast-retreating tech stocks and rising Treasury yields.
Chipmaker Broadcom beat analysts' earnings, revenue, and guidance with results late yesterday following new record-high closes for the DJIA and S&P 500 index. Cyclical names led.
Investors will continue to chew over the Fed's latest rate cut along with Broadcom earnings today after the S&P 500 closed just shy of a record high on Wednesday.
The Fed is seen cutting rates by 25 basis points today. Focus then turns to Powell's thoughts, the dot plot of rate projections, and any dissents. Oracle reports after the close.
