Today is Christmas, and major global stock markets (such as the US stock exchanges, NYSE, and NASDAQ) are closed, with no regular trading activities. No major unexpected financial events have occurred in the past hour. Below is a summary of key financial dynamics from recent times (the evening before Christmas and the morning of Christmas Day):
1. US stocks set records on Christmas Eve: On December 24, the Christmas Eve trading day (closing at 1 AM), both the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Index closed at historic highs, continuing a five-day rise. A rebound in technology stocks drove the market, with investors anticipating that the 'Santa Claus rally' will extend into early 2026.
2. Cryptocurrency market volatility: Bitcoin's price fell below $88,000, down about 1% in the past 24 hours, with mainstream coins like Ethereum also retreating. The total market capitalization shrank to approximately $2.97 trillion, partly attributed to year-end tax loss selling and institutional capital outflows.
3. Global market holiday mode: During the Christmas period, European and American bond and stock markets are closed, while some Asian markets, like Japan, operate normally, but with lower liquidity. No new economic data has been released, and investors are focusing on the Federal Reserve's policy path for 2026 and geopolitical trade uncertainties.
4. Other hot topics: Retail investors saw record inflows into US stocks in 2025, driving the market up; safe-haven assets like gold performed strongly, with significant gains throughout the year.
Overall, the financial market is calm in the festive atmosphere, with a focus on the dynamics of the opening after the holiday.
