BIG DAY AHEAD FOR MARKETS
Dec 15, 2025 — Volatility on High Alert
Markets are stepping into a session packed with catalysts, where liquidity flows, central bank messaging, and political headlines all intersect. Days like this don’t move slowly — direction can flip in minutes.
⸻
9:00 AM ET — Fed Liquidity Operations
Potentially large repo activity is on the table. These operations often fly under the radar, but they matter. Liquidity tends to show up in prices before it shows up in news alerts. Around the same time, fresh economic sentiment data lands, offering a live snapshot of confidence and risk appetite.
⸻
9:30 AM ET — Fed Governor Miran Speaks
Every line will be parsed for clues on inflation progress, the health of the labor market, and how close the Fed may be to easing. Even subtle changes in tone can reset expectations quickly.
⸻
10:30 AM ET — NY Fed President John Williams
Williams isn’t background noise for markets. His comments are usually treated as policy-relevant signals, which means bonds, equities, and crypto can react almost instantly.
⸻
3:00 PM ET — President Trump’s Remarks
The political wildcard of the day. Any hints around fiscal spending, trade direction, or growth priorities can ripple across assets in a hurry.
⸻
What matters today
Liquidity trends matter more than headlines. Rate expectations will steer direction. Mixed signals increase the odds of sharp, fast moves — sometimes without a clear trigger.
This is the kind of session where markets quickly decide between risk-on and risk-off.
Not a day for autopilot.
A day for staying alert and managing risk carefully.
