US indices pulled back from record highs after the Fed signalled no rate cut in January. The Nasdaq was hit hardest with AI sector anxiety resurfacing.
Combine that with this week's shutdown-delayed jobs data release, and questions are mounting on whether markets can muster a Santa Claus rally this year.
Delayed Jobs Data Could Define Santa Rally
This week delivers critical economic data that was postponed during the government shutdown:
Tuesday: Non Farm Payrolls
Thursday: Consumer Price Index (CPI)
These two releases could determine whether markets can rally or face further pressure into Christmas.
Volatility is expected around both announcements as traders position for potential surprises.
