Hello everyone, I would like to briefly give you an important data and time forecast for next week. Next week is Christmas week, let's see if we will have the anticipated 'Christmas market'.

📅 Tuesday evening 9:30

The third quarter GDP data, personal consumption expenditures, and core PCE price index will be announced.

These three pieces of data directly reflect the economic growth and inflation situation in the United States, significantly impacting market expectations and sentiment, and are worth paying attention to.

📅 Wednesday evening 9:30

The initial jobless claims for last week will be announced, which will help observe whether the job market continues to cool.

⏰ Trading time reminder

Due to the Christmas holiday: U.S. stock markets will close early at 2:00 AM on Thursday

The market will be closed all day on Thursday, and U.S. stocks will actually only trade for 3.5 days next week. Those who trade must pay attention to the time to avoid missing opportunities. The market will close early on December 25th at 02:00 Beijing time.

📅 Thursday

The Governor of the Bank of Japan will give a speech.

Japan has just raised interest rates, but after the rate hike, the yen has clearly weakened. The market is concerned whether they will make a statement or take action regarding the exchange rate issue, which is also worth noting.

Overall, there are not many data and events next week, and liquidity may be low. As for the Christmas market, historically there is indeed a statistical probability of an increase, but it is more of a reference; do not be superstitious. It is more important to control the pace and risk.
