Focus: US
Market Close: Mon, 29 December 2025
Daily Insights
Good afternoon. US markets edged lower today, with the S&P 500 declining 0.4% amid heightened volatility as the Cboe Volatility Index rose 4.4%.
The modest decline in US stock markets stemmed primarily from year-end profit-taking in heavyweight technology and AI-related stocks, amid thin holiday trading volumes that amplified moves.
Energy led sector gains at +0.9%, reflecting resilience in select names.
Precious metals (gold and silver) retreated sharply from records, adding to a risk-off tone in parts of the market.
No major negative economic data or news events dominated; the move appeared technical and positioning-related ahead of the new year, with upcoming Fed minutes (released December 30) in focus for 2026 rate clues.
