NEXT WEEK STORM IN MARKETS: ECONOMIC REPORTS WILL PUSH VOLATILITY TO THE PEAK‼️
Next week (December 15-19, 2025), a busy economic calendar is expected to shake global financial markets. This week,
On Monday, it will start with the Federal Reserve's (Fed) purchase of approximately $6.8 billion in Treasury bills (T-Bill); this is seen as a move to strengthen the Fed's liquidity management.
On Tuesday, critical US unemployment rate data will be released, with market expectations hovering around 4.4%.
Wednesday's FOMC members' speeches will provide clues about interest rate policies.
On Thursday, the weekly jobless claims report will be published, and according to the latest data, sudden increases have been observed at the 236,000 level.
The week will close on Friday with the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate hike decision; markets have almost fully priced in the increase from 0.5% to 0.75% (Reuters, 2025).
The Fed's bond purchases are characterized as a "technical purchase to manage market liquidity" and are part of a $40 billion monthly program (Reuters, 2025). 
For unemployment data, there is a warning that "positive surprises could trigger stock purchases before the holidays" (CNBC, 2025).
Although most of these reports have already been priced in, deviations could increase volatility. Investors should adopt a disciplined strategy instead of panicking.
As a result, this busy week holds opportunities while keeping a pulse on economic recovery; cautious approaches will be profitable.
