Next week's Christmas rhythm in the financial market is directly heightened! The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will have a half-day market on Wednesday, the US stock market will close early at 2 AM on Wednesday, and will be closed all day on Thursday, significantly reducing trading hours.

The hottest suspense right now is whether Trump will finalize the Federal Reserve Chairperson candidate during the Christmas period. Currently, Hassett is leading with a 54% probability, and his inclination towards interest rate cuts is likely to add some easing expectations to the market.

Data and events are also clustered: On Tuesday, key data such as the US Q3 GDP and core PCE will be released, directly affecting interest rate cut expectations; on Wednesday, the minutes from the Bank of Canada meeting and the US initial jobless claims data will follow up; on Thursday, the speech by the Bank of Japan Governor plus unemployment rate data will take over.

Year-end trading is already thin, combined with a dense bombardment of news, the market is likely to be volatile next week. Whether the Christmas market can deliver will depend on the performance of these key points!
