Holiday-Shortened Week: Markets Brace for Volatile 2026
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Traders brace for a holiday-shortened week, with markets closed for New Years Day and bonds shutting early on Wednesday. Stocks ended the year strongly, and December and January strength often sets the tone for the future. Monday brings November pending home sales data, Tuesday features the S&P Case-Shiller home price index, Chicago business barometer, and FOMC minutes. Wednesday sees initial jobless claims and ongoing labor market concerns. No major earnings, but twenty-two states raising minimum wage could impact labor costs and consumer spending. Markets reopen Friday, with reports shaping early momentum and investor sentiment.
