Last week during Christmas, the market generally experienced a decline, one possible reason being investors' uncertainty regarding Trump's tariff policies after his inauguration on January 20, as well as uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision in January. As we enter a new week, there are relatively few important market data points, but the following key events are worth paying attention to:
On January 1, the stock market will be closed for New Year's Day holiday.
On January 2 (Thursday) at 21:30, initial jobless claims data for the week will be released, expected at 224,000, with a previous value of 219,000. This data may have limited impact on the market, but it is still an important indicator for observing the state of the U.S. job market.
On January 3 (Thursday) at 23:00, the U.S. December ISM Manufacturing PMI data will be released, expected at 48.4, with the previous value also at 48.4. This data will reflect the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector, and if it falls below expectations, it may have a certain impact on the market.
This week's economic data is relatively sparse, and the market's focus is mainly on the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy and policies, especially those of the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve's movements.
