The December rally has a reaso

The December rally has a reasonable chance of continuing, thanks to historical seasonality patterns often called the “Santa Claus Rally,” lighter trading volumes, and year-end optimism that can boost equities. Technical setups and investor sentiment could further support gains if macroeconomic conditions remain stable. However, the rally is far from guaranteed — unexpected inflation data, central bank decisions, or a slowdown in consumer spending could quickly reverse gains. While history and seasonal trends provide some tailwinds, it’s best to view any December rally with cautious optimism, seeing it as a potential opportunity rather than a certainty.

Tech Meltdown Friday: Bounce Next Week or More Pain Ahead?

U.S. tech stocks plunged, with AI-related names seeing a broad sell-off as capital rotated into defensive sectors. Weakness in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq was largely driven by a sharp drop in Broadcom, whose shares tumbled 11.4% on the day. Despite beating earnings expectations, investors were disappointed by lower-than-expected AI margins and the lack of AI guidance for fiscal 2026, weighing heavily on the stock. After Friday’s sell-off, will the market stage a strong rebound next week — or continue to slide?
