December 22, 2025
Good morning investors,
This is the kind of week where the market puts its feet up.
Not because the economy changed overnight, or because a new AI breakthrough arrived down the chimney, but because liquidity thins, calendars shrink, and price moves start sounding louder than the information behind them.

The watchlist below is built for that Christmas-week reality.
