Hi there,

Overview: Wall Street reached historic milestones on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 49,000 for the first time ever, and the S&P 500 notched a new all-time record. While the "everything rally" extended to metals, the session was marked by a clear rotation, as energy and communication stocks lagged while data storage and software firms led the AI-driven charge.

📈 Major Indices

• Dow Jones Industrial Average: Rose +0.99% (approx. 485 points), setting a new all-time record close at 49,462.08.

• S&P 500: Climbed +0.62%, hitting a fresh all-time record of 6,944.82.

• Nasdaq Composite: Gained +0.65%, closing at 23,547.17.

🏛️ Bonds, FX & Commodities

• US 10-Year Yield: Ticked slightly higher to 4.18%.

• US Dollar Index (DXY): Advanced +0.3% to 98.60.

• Gold: Rose +1.3% to trade near $4,510 per ounce.

• Silver: Surged another +6%, settling near $81.30.

• WTI Crude Oil: Pulled back after Monday's surge, falling to settle near $57.40 per barrel as the energy sector became the day's worst-performing group.

📊 Specific Stock Performance

• GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): Down -0.70% ($314.34). Dragged down as part of the broader weakness in the Communication Services sector.

• META (Meta Platforms): Down -0.28% ($660.62). One of the few laggards among mega-caps as investors rotated into other tech sub-sectors.
• ALK (Alaska Air Group): Down -2.39% ($50.73). Faced significant selling pressure, underperforming the broader industrial-led rally.

• PFE (Pfizer Inc.): Up +1.03% ($25.43). Caught a steady bid, outperforming the market as value-oriented healthcare saw interest.

• NVO (Novo Nordisk ADR): Up +2.09% ($56.26). Continued its strong momentum following recent FDA optimism.
• FLTR.L (Flutter Entertainment): Up +1.1% (approx. 16,720p). Performed well in London, tracking the global risk-on sentiment despite US-specific sector rotations.
• STZ (Constellation Brands): Up +0.8%. Participated in the broader market lift, managing to find some stability.

🏟️ The Road to 50,000: Dow Components Leading the Way

While the tech sector saw some rotation yesterday, several blue-chip giants are exhibiting the "relative strength" needed to bridge the remaining gap to 50,000.

1. The Industrial Powerhouses (Caterpillar & Boeing)

• Caterpillar (CAT): Has been a standout leader since the start of the year, surging over +4.5% in the first session of 2026. As a cyclical bellwether, its strength suggests institutional confidence in 2026 global growth.
• Boeing (BA): After a difficult 2025, Boeing has emerged as a top performer to start the year, gaining nearly +5% recently. Its heavy weighting in the price-weighted Dow makes it one of the most influential drivers for the index reaching 50k.

2. The Energy Catalyst (Chevron)

• Chevron (CVX): Following the weekend’s geopolitical developments in Venezuela, Chevron surged +5.1% yesterday. With the energy sector shifting from a laggard to a leader, CVX is providing the "heavy lifting" needed to keep the Dow at record levels.

3. Financial Strength (Goldman Sachs & JPMorgan)

• Goldman Sachs (GS): The investment banking giant rose nearly +4% to kick off the week. Financials are benefiting from a stabilizing yield curve and a surge in M&A optimism for the new year.
• JPMorgan Chase (JPM): Continues to hold near all-time highs, acting as a "pillar of stability" for the index.

4. High-Growth Tech Components (Amazon & Microsoft)

• Amazon (AMZN): While some tech lagged, Amazon bucked the trend yesterday with a +3.3% gain. Its cloud (AWS) and retail strength make it a vital engine for the Dow’s next leg higher.
• Microsoft (MSFT): Despite minor intra-day volatility, Microsoft finished up +1.2% yesterday. Along with Nvidia, it remains the primary driver of the "AI tailwind" for the blue-chip index.

Hi there,

Wall Street surged on Monday as the first full week of trading for 2026 began with a massive "risk-on" move. Geopolitical headlines regarding the U.S. military's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro over the weekend dominated sentiment. This sparked a huge rally in the energy sector, while tech stocks recovered from a sluggish start to the year.

📈 Major Indices

• Dow Jones Industrial Average: Rose +1.2% (approx. 600 points), setting a new all-time record close at 48,982.

• Gold: Jumped nearly 3% to $4,450 per ounce, benefiting from geopolitical uncertainty.
• Silver: Surged over 6% to settle near $75.90, continuing its parabolic run.
• WTI Crude Oil: Rose +1.9% to settle at $58.40 per barrel, led by hopes of a revival in the Venezuelan energy sector under new leadership.

📊 Specific Stock Performance

• NVO (Novo Nordisk ADR): Up +8.5% ($55.21). A standout performer, NVO soared as healthcare investors moved aggressively back into weight-loss leaders for the new year.
• META (Meta Platforms): Up +1.1%. Recovered from Friday's slump, tracking the broader tech rebound.
• GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): Up +1.5%. Gained alongside the mega-cap tech cohort as sentiment improved.

• PFE (Pfizer Inc.): Up +0.9%. Caught a modest bid as some value-oriented rotation persisted.

Overview: Wall Street kicked off 2026 with a mixed and volatile performance.

Market Review for Tuesday, December 23, 2025

Overview: Major stock indexes ended higher for a fourth straight session after delayed third-quarter GDP figures smashed expectations, showing an annualized growth rate of 4.3% (vs. the 3.2% forecast).

Hi there,

Hi there,

US equities charged higher yesterday following a "Goldilocks" inflation report. The November Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed inflation cooling faster than expected (2.7% vs. 3.1% forecast), providing a massive tailwind for growth stocks and betting on a more aggressive Fed rate-cutting cycle for 2026.

📈 Major Indices

• S&P 500: Surged +1.2%, reclaiming the critical 6,800 level.
• Nasdaq Composite: Jumped +1.6%, leading the charge as growth stocks benefited from plummeting yields.
• Dow Jones Industrial Average: Rose +0.8%, closing at 48,499.27.

🏛️ Bonds, FX & Commodities

• US 10-Year Yield: Tumbled to 4.08%, its lowest level in two weeks, following the cool CPI data.
• US Dollar Index (DXY): Weakened significantly to 97.80, making greenback-priced assets more attractive.
• Gold: Gained +0.7% to trade near $4,330 per ounce, benefiting from the weaker dollar.
• WTI Crude Oil: Rebounded slightly to $56.20 per barrel on improved "soft landing" hopes.

📊 Specific Stock Performance

• GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): Up +1.93% ($302.46). Strong AI momentum and "buy the dip" institutional flows following the inflation data.
• META (Meta Platforms): Up +2.32% ($664.45). Rebounded sharply as investors viewed it as a top-tier AI winner in a lower-rate environment.
• ALK (Alaska Air Group): Up +1.25% ($51.88). Gained alongside broader industrials as recession fears eased.
• PFE (Pfizer Inc.): Up +0.12% ($25.07). A relatively flat session as investors prioritized high-growth tech over defensive pharma.
• NVO (Novo Nordisk ADR): Down -0.31% ($47.62). Eased slightly despite news that the company filed for FDA approval of its new weight-loss drug CagriSema.
• FLTR.L (Flutter Entertainment): Down -0.67% (16,380.00p). Minor consolidation in the London session after recent tax-related volatility.
• STZ (Constellation Brands): Down -2.07% ($136.83). Underperformed significantly as investors rotated out of defensive consumer staples into high-growth sectors.

Next: The "main event" is happening this morning with the release of the PCE Inflation report (8:30 AM ET). This is the Fed's favorite metric and will dictate if we close the week at new all-time highs.
