The Christmas holiday just ended, and the US stock market has resumed trading. The three major indices performed steadily yesterday, with limited fluctuations throughout the day, ultimately closing roughly unchanged from the previous day, with a decline of less than 0.1%. The holiday atmosphere remains strong, trading volume has slightly increased compared to before the holiday, but overall remains relatively light.
Technology large-cap stocks showed mixed performance. Nvidia rose 1.02%, but Tesla was under pressure and fell 2.10%. The commercial aerospace sector experienced significant adjustments, with Rocket Lab Corp plunging 8.46%, AST SpaceMobile Inc-A dropping 7.82%, and Virgin Galactic falling 5.39%.
Chinese concept stocks, on the other hand, performed strongly against the trend. The NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index rose 0.72%, with XPeng Motors up over 6%, NIO up nearly 4%, and Alibaba and Baidu both gaining over 1%.
European markets remain closed for the holiday.
In commodities, oil prices declined, with US crude falling 2.43% to $56.93 per barrel. Precious metals continued to rise, with COMEX gold futures up 1.31% at $4,562.0 per ounce; COMEX silver futures surged 11.15% to $79.68 per ounce—both reaching new historical highs.
In the currency market, the US dollar index rose slightly by 0.15% to 98.06, while offshore RMB against the US dollar fell 32 basis points to 7.0040. Notably, Wall Street institutions are increasingly bearish on the Japanese yen. Strategists like JPMorgan predict that driven by the widening US-Japan interest rate differential and Japan’s negative real interest rates, the yen may fall below the 160 mark against the dollar before the end of 2026.

If the US-Japan interest rate differential continues like this, the yen really has to break 160

Gold and silver surge together, avoiding the holiday funds are looking for a safe haven.
Commercial aerospace collectively declines, the bubble of dreams still cannot withstand the hammer of the market.
Tesla fell, Nvidia rose, the divergence itself is a signal—someone is fleeing the illusion.
Chinese concept stocks suddenly strengthen? Don't be fooled by this rebound; history tells us that rebounds are often the last temptation before a decline.
The yen is about to break 160; this cycle rotation is truly ruthless. When the interest rate differential game reaches its extreme, it should come to an end.

The US stock market's holiday trading volume is just this bad, no real reference value.
Is this momentum in Chinese concept stocks a sign of a comeback?
Silver is going crazy, even more fierce than gold.
