Year end trade is quiet with low volume as grains fade post Santa Claus Rally while Argentina dryness looms and livestock mixed into contract expiration.

Derek Moore is joined by Shane Skinner to talk about silver prices going parabolic while Gold, Copper, Platinum, and other metals are clocking in gains. Does the rally continue? They, they look at how well international markets have done crushing the S&P 500 Index this year where Spain's IBEX 35 and South Korea's KOSPI are the top dogs that no one saw coming. Later, they discussed the attribution to gains this year including how much it is due to earnings growth vs the growth of the forward PE multiple.

This week's Money Wise episode takes a step back to assess where markets stand as the year winds down and the Santa Claus rally remains firmly in focus. With a holiday-shortened trading week and lighter volume, the S&P 500 edged closer to a new all-time closing high, supported by strong performance over the final five trading days of December. The guys discuss why late-year seasonality still matters and how recent gains align with historical Santa Claus rally patterns. Beyond market action, the conversation shifts to the broader economic backdrop. Despite incomplete and delayed data from the recent government shutdown, key indicators point to continued momentum: third-quarter GDP growth came in at a strong 4.3%, savings rates are rising toward 5%, and consumer spending remains a major driver of economic expansion. The Money Wise guys push back on narratives suggesting growth is narrowly driven by AI infrastructure, emphasizing that consumer activity continues to power a significant share of GDP. With year-end optimism intact and early 2026 catalysts on the horizon, the episode reinforces why long-term perspective matters, especially when headlines focus more on costs than growth. The Santa Claus Rally A Santa Claus rally refers to the market's historical tendency to rise during the final trading days of December and the first few days of January. This period is often supported by seasonal optimism, lighter trading volumes, and investors repositioning portfolios for the year ahead. When it occurs, it can help improve overall market sentiment and reinforce confidence after a full year of trading. A strong year-end rally may also provide momentum as markets enter the new year. While not guaranteed, it's a pattern investors often watch closely as a gauge of near-term market tone. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys explore RIA vs. Broker. You don't want to miss the details!

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/ ], joins me for another nuanced discussion around the fundamental drivers, macro catalysts, and technical momentum factors that are driving silver and the precious metals stocks to new all-time highs here at the end of 2025.   We also review trading strategies and the potential for valuation reratings to even higher levels in PM equities, that have lagged where valuations should be, despite their big moves higher on the price charts already seen this year.    We start off reviewing silver's continued breakout up above $77 to new all-time weekly highs on both the spot and futures charts, as we spoke on Friday morning. John outlines that there may be a few different types of super whale investors underpinning the silver price, from sovereign governments and select central banks, to large institutions that have been underweight the sector, and even manufacturers trying to secure larger supply inventories to front-run potentially higher longer-term prices.   We review the slightly different demand drivers silver with both the industrial component, and the growing investment demand. Next we consider how much technical pricing momentum may be fueling more generalist speculation into the metal and mining stocks,  where buying simply begets more buying.   While most market participants recognize that there will be strong record Q4 earnings for gold and silver producers, the spread between Q3 and Q4 average metals prices is so vast that it raises the question of whether the market is truly looking forward enough and properly factoring that into current company valuations.   We highlight the disparity between where gold and silver prices have run to and the comparatively low value that ounces in the ground are receiving inside of the PM developers.   We discuss how merger & acquisitions may shift to larger takeover premiums and higher prices for ounces in the ground, if the available assets and companies keep getting picked off the board.  John points out that it could be manufacturing end users that lead the charge in acquiring silver producers, just to guarantee future supply.  That would be a new dynamic for M&A from buyers that are less price sensitive, and just need to have metal for fabrication demand for their end products.   Wrapping up, we broaden out the discussion into the strength being seen across the whole metals complex, from gold and copper, to platinum, and palladium, throughout 2025. John believes that we are entering an environment where the world is waking up to the importance of supply chains and raw materials, which is going to lead to a continued commodities supercycle.    Click here to follow John's analysis and articles over at Substack   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, analiza los mercados bursátiles, el bono y el dólar, la recta final en 2025 y cómo serán los últimos días en el mercado en Wall Street, que expectativas sobre la plata y el oro en 2026, después de que estos metales preciosos estén en zona de máximos y cómo pueden afectar los conflictos geopolíticos al precio del petróleo. “Estamos ante lo que se llama el “Santa Claus Rally”, el 75% de las veces ha marcado subidas”, añade el invitado. El analista también ha analizado cuál es el momento de los metales preciosos. El oro sigue en zona de máximos. Las tensiones geopolíticas vuelven a impulsar a los metales preciosos, con subidas que no se veían desde 1979.La plata también se sitúa en máximos y lleva una revalorización del 140%. “Hay mucho movimiento especulativo, inversores apalancados, pero también la plata es un metal industrial con mucha demanda y lo que se está viendo es que tienen miedo a quedarse sin plata” afirma el country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares. También ha comentado la situación del cobre, donde destaca que “la demanda va a seguir subiendo mucho y también se ha visto que hay mucha especulación”. También la atención ha estado puesta en Asia, donde el Ejecutivo nipón ha aprobado un presupuesto récord de 781.000 millones de dólares. El presupuesto está destinado a financiar tanto un mayor gasto en defensa como los crecientes costos de la seguridad social. El Gobierno pretende invertir 9 millones de yenes en Defensa, donde destaca sobre todo el proyecto Shield, que se llevará de esta partida 100.000 millones de yenes. Ignacio Vacchiano apunta que “pero Japón lo que ha hecho en los últimos cuatro años de tener una deuda respecto a su PIB del 220 % está ahora en el 200%”.

Eddie Ghabour anticipates a year-end Santa Claus rally driven by money managers attempting to catch up with indices. He expects a rotation out of overbought tech stocks to continue in the first quarter of next year, preferring economically sensitive sectors like financials, industrials, and small caps. Ghabour identifies Apple (AAPL) as a defensive tech play due to lowered expectations and strong iPhone sales in China. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

En este cierre de año, Wall Street busca impulso mientras los mercados se preparan para una semana corta por las festividades. Aquí están los temas clave del día:

In today's episode,Tyler recaps a high-powered day for the markets as we close in on the end of 2025. Tyler dives into the latest economic data, including a standout Q3 GDP report and bullish trends pushing key indexes to all-time highs. He also shares insights on the impact of innovation especially AI and how deregulatory policies and a flood of liquidity could keep fueling this bull market into the new year. Plus, Tyler breaks down what the return of the Santa Claus rally could mean for investors, highlights strong consumer spending numbers despite weak sentiment surveys, and previews what to watch as 2026 kicks off. From sector standouts to record performances in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, this episode is packed with actionable analysis and optimism for the months ahead. Get ready for a fast-paced rundown of what's moving the markets and why Tyler Herriage believes the best is still yet to come! Tune into today's podcast to learn more. 

Markets are doing what they often do this time of year—attempting to stabilize and rally amid choppy trading. While some are already declaring that the Santa Claus Rally is "dead," history suggests patience is warranted. The official Santa Rally window hasn't even begun yet, and statistically, the odds still favor a year-end lift. Lance Roberts breaks down why recent pullbacks below key moving averages triggered algorithmic selling—and why disciplined investors avoid knee-jerk reactions. With markets rebounding above short-term technical levels and consolidating gains from earlier in the year, the bigger takeaway is this: how you managed risk mattered far more than what you owned. As we head toward year-end and look into next year, remember—markets rotate, leadership changes, and yesterday's winners are rarely tomorrow's. Stay patient, stay disciplined, and stay focused on risk management.

The end of the trading year can still lead to big market moves, says Kevin Hincks. "Less eyeballs" on the stock market means Wall Street is more susceptible to headlines. On the Fed, Kevin notes Beth Hammack as a potentially hawkish voting member effective January 1, though a neutral to dovish FOMC overall is what he believes keeps the rate cutting cycle intact. He later notes crude oil's rally as more uncertain develops around Venezuelan oil tankers being seized. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Is the Santa Claus Rally real, or is it just another Wall Street myth that gets recycled every December? That is exactly what this video digs into. Instead of hype, wishful thinking, or seasonal superstition, this breakdown looks at what the Santa Claus Rally actually is, how it is defined, and why traders get themselves into trouble when they treat it like a guaranteed payday.You will hear why the Santa Claus Rally is technically real in a narrow statistical sense, covering a specific window at the end of December and the start of January. You will also see why that does not mean markets owe you anything just because the calendar flips. This is where most traders get it wrong. They confuse historical tendencies with rules, and that mindset is how accounts get wrecked.The discussion goes deeper than surface-level stats. You will see how rallies can still happen inside downtrends, why a short pop does not magically fix a bad year, and how dangerous it is to pin hopes, prayers, and holiday spending plans on a few trading days. There is also a practical walkthrough of how to think like a professional investor instead of reacting emotionally to red and green days.Half the value here is not about the Santa Claus Rally at all. It is about process. Trading does not have to be exciting, stressful, or time-consuming. When you have a real plan, decisions get boring in the best possible way. That is how professionals operate. Check signals, manage risk, execute when needed, and then move on with your life.In the middle of the video, the focus shifts to real-world execution and discipline. Positions are reviewed, exits are checked, and the result is simple. No sell signals. No new entries. No panic. That calm approach is not accidental. It is the outcome of following a structured system instead of chasing noise.Here is what you will walk away with after watching:✅ What the Santa Claus Rally actually measures and why it exists✅ Why seasonal patterns are not trading signals✅ How rallies can still occur inside bearish trends✅ Why having a plan beats guessing every single day✅ How professionals manage positions without obsessingThere is also an important mindset shift toward the end. Markets do not care how much attention you give a stock. CEOs do not care how many hours you stare at their charts. Profits follow price and rules, not obsession. The goal is to save time, reduce stress, and let your strategy do the heavy lifting.If you want to trade with structure instead of emotion, this video lays out exactly why that matters. Subscribe to the OVTLYR channel for more breakdowns like this, market structure insights, and practical trading education designed to help you think clearly when everyone else is panicking.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Markets finished last week slightly lower but held critical support at the 20- and 50-day moving averages. As we enter the final two weeks of December—historically the strongest stretch of the month—investors are positioning for a potential Santa Claus Rally and looking ahead to 2026. Portfolio window dressing, year-end performance reporting, and managers chasing returns could provide an additional tailwind. Markets remain in a constructive consolidation near all-time highs, and early signs of sector rotation into utilities, real estate, and staples suggest improving market breadth. Futures are pointing higher this morning, indicating a positive open. For now, markets remain fine—stay invested, but continue managing risk.

Futures pointed to up arrows ahead of Monday's trading session, starting the final full week of trading for 2025. Kevin Hincks warns investors that economic data, delayed or otherwise, will impact a lot of the action. He points to October's core PCE paired with November's CPI and unemployment as highlights. However, Kevin says the Santa Claus rally is coming even if it's a little delayed. He touches on President Trump's comments that he sees Kevin Hassett or Kevin Warsh heading the FOMC after Jerome Powell. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Steven E. Orr says to get ready for the trading day after Christmas, when he expects a Santa Claus rally to kick in through the end of the year. With markets at all-time highs and plenty of money still on the sidelines, he thinks the melt-up this year could stand out. He highlights rotation in markets right now but thinks fund managers and investors will pile back into tech before the end of 2025. Steven looks ahead to 2026 and what he thinks investors should be watching.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

On this crucial post-Fed episode, hosts Mark Longo, Uncle Mike Tosaw (St. Charles Wealth Management) and Henry 'The Flowmaster' Schwartz (Cboe) deliver expert options trading analysis and strategy. The team breaks down the dramatic Oracle (ORCL) plunge, the latest VIX and index (SPX, SPY, QQQ) volatility, and Henry Schwartz's insights into unusual options flow. Plus, a deep dive into the newly launched Cboe MAG 10 index options and market predictions for the highly anticipated Santa Claus Rally. The hosts also investigate unexpected options activity in names like Sentinel One (S), Rocket Labs (RKLB), and Honda Motor Corp (HMC). Tune in for essential year-end market strategy!

It's Fed Day, and today's Live Q&A covers what investors should expect as markets position around the announcement, why volatility may pick up afterward, and how this week's action shapes the potential for a Santa Claus Rally. We also discuss whether the Fed has stepped back from its inflation mandate, what that means for long bonds, and how Treasury supply-and-demand dynamics factor into portfolio risk. Lance Roberts & Danny Ratliff review the growth outlook for the AI sector, the power-cost assumptions built into datacenter models, the economic effects of the "One Big Beautiful Bill," and the $125 billion in tariff revenue collected this year—along with what tariffs really contribute to inflation. Additional topics include how to read 2x–3x standard deviations using Bollinger Band concepts, which data streams matter most (and where to find them), the link between inflation and economic growth, and practical insights on silver, ETF buy-and-hold strategies, NUA planning, valuation challenges when stocks trade at 25x earnings, and the realities of the "dollar debasement" narrative. As always, we approach these discussions pragmatically: no magic bullets, and market cycles end when they end.

Nathan Peterson with Charles Schwab says he's surprised the chances of the FOMC cutting interest rates Wednesday are high. He warns investors to brace for a hawkish cut if it happens. Nate notes a slew of economic data still to come, paired with notable dissents among Fed governors as headwinds. As for the SPX, he talks about the index consolidation and why there needs to be a new record high for a breakout Santa Claus rally to occur. Nate explains the role Mag 7 and Big Tech play in that action.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Lance Roberts looks at both sides of the Market Cycle—the bullish liquidity-driven momentum and the bearish fundamental weaknesses.

Verified Investing's Gareth Soloway isn't convinced Santa Claus is coming to the stock market. A Yen Carry Trade unwind is something he considers a real possibility, which will lead to a major selling event across markets. Gareth also sees the A.I. market being more fragile than many investors, pointing to concerns in circular A.I. spending and a lack of energy to power the evolving technology. His technical analysis continues to Bitcoin and its strong pullback since October. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
