PANews reported on December 28 that the decline of US stocks on Friday frustrated investors' expectations for the so-called "Santa Claus rebound". With the New Year's Day holiday approaching, global financial markets may also tend to remain calm in the coming week. The US ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) may be the only focus of economic data next week, but any policy-related headlines about Trump may also stimulate market volatility. The following are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week: Monday 23:30, US December Dallas Fed Business Activity Index Thursday 9:45, China December Caixin Manufacturing PMI Thursday 21:30, US initial jobless claims for the week ending December 28 Thursday 22:45, US December S&P Global Manufacturing PMI final value Friday 23:00, US December ISM Manufacturing PMI If the economic data slaps the Fed in the face, the US dollar's gains may fade. The number of initial jobless claims next week may also become a major driver of the US dollar's trend. Any data that shows that the Fed is too cautious about inflation and too optimistic about the labor market may cause the recent rise of the US dollar to collapse.

After taking into account the fall in the won, the KSOPI in terms of dollars has fallen 18.9%, both of which are the weakest in Asia.

PANews reported on December 28 that according to Reuters, the Federal Reserve implemented its third interest rate cut this year this month and hinted at fewer rate cuts in 2025 due to the uncertain inflation outlook, which disappointed investors who expected the rate cut to boost corporate profits and valuations, causing the stock market to plummet. However, this may not hinder the rise of alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies.

The Blockchain Association, a US cryptocurrency lobbying group, tweeted that it had filed a lawsuit against the new "broker" regulations passed by the IRS and the Treasury Department.
