Market pulse
U.S. equities finished higher overall with most of the upside coming in the three sessions heading into Christmas. The move was led by a rebound in mega-cap AI/tech–especially Nvidia and semiconductors–which provided the biggest index lift, while a run of supportive economic signals (including a much stronger Q3 GDP reading and lower jobless claims) reinforced the “resilient economy” narrative even as rates reacted. Holiday-thinned liquidity and “Santa rally” positioning likely amplified the steady drift higher, with volatility sliding to near one-year lows. Stock-specific headlines (such as Tesla on Musk pay-package news and Target on activist-stake reports) and intermittent strength in materials/energy on commodity moves added marginal support, before a quiet, low-volume post‑Christmas session left the market essentially flat on Dec. 26.
Crowd vs. price
The market’s modest recovery led to little movement in relative investor interest in my holdings.
