Good MorningEquities markets corrected in a sell-the-news event following the FOMC's December policy announcement. As expected, the FOMC cut rates by 25 basis points and confirmed a reduced outlook for cuts in 2025. The new outlook assumes only two 25 basis point cuts next year, down from the previous four, because the United States economy remains resilient and the labor market healthy. The takeaway is that the FOMC won't cut rates as deeply as previously expected, but corporate earnings will continue to flow and fuel robust capital returns.
Next week is Christmas. The trading week will be shortened, with markets closing early on Tuesday and not reopening until Thursday. Traders should expect light volume and a potential for directionless, volatile trading. The next hurdles will come early in January as December's economic data is released and the Q4 earnings reporting cycle shifts into a higher gear.
