Markets appeared poised to notch modest gains on Monday, attempting to recover some of last week’s losses as traders stepped in to buy the dip ahead of a busy slate of economic indicators and pivotal central bank announcements.
Dow Jones futures were higher by about 202 points, roughly 0.4%. S&P 500 futures gained 0.4%, and Nasdaq 100 futures rose about 0.4% as well.
After a rough session Friday, fueled in part by cautious responses to Oracle’s software earnings and Broadcom’s chip results, traders are weighing how AI-related valuations will evolve.
Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid noted on Monday that the weakest AI stories are increasingly being punished, a shift from the broader rally seen earlier in the year when AI optimism led gains across the sector.
There could be plenty of volatility ahead during the final full trading week of 2025. Tuesday brings updated employment data for October and November, providing a clearer picture of the labor market’s strength and potentially shaping the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate trajectory next year.
Across the globe, central banks are preparing to announce policy decisions this week. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan are all in focus. Any surprise from the Bank of Japan—especially a rise in borrowing costs—could ripple through markets and set off a shift in the yen carry trade, potentially lifting Treasury yields.
In government debt markets, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note edged down by 1 basis point to 4.18%. Gold advanced about 1.1%, trading near $4,377 per ounce, while the dollar held broadly steady against a basket of major currencies. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, slipped roughly 0.3% over the past 24 hours, hovering around $89,868.
If you’d like, I can tailor this rewrite to a specific audience (e.g., casual readers, institutional investors, or beginners) or adjust the tone to be more analytical or more conversational. Would you prefer a version with more detailed explanations of the economic indicators mentioned or a shorter, at-a-glance briefing?
