Focus: US Daily Market Insights
Market Close: Mon, 08 December 2025
North American markets opened the week with modest declines amid mixed economic signals and rising volatility, as the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 both fell 0.4% while the Cboe Volatility Index surged 8.1%.
Investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the Federal Reserve's final policy meeting of the year, where a 25-basis-point rate cut was widely anticipated but uncertainty lingered over the pace of future easing. Treasury yields rose, reflecting some nervousness, while individual stock moves were influenced by corporate developments such as index inclusions and acquisition rumors.
