Indexes close higher as data keeps Fed rate cut expectations elevated
Wed December 3, 2025 4:27 PM
Today’s reports showed private payrolls unexpectedly declined and the service sectors remaining static, all of which boosted optimism for a December rate cut, today up to 89% odds, more evidence of a shrinking labor market and weakening economy, and thus boosted all three indexes straight up for the entire session, the Dow to another impressive mid-3-digit gain. Of course, the real test comes Friday with the Personal Expenditures, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. Compounding the problem is the fact that October and November employment data has been delayed until after the Fed’s announcement. Volume continues to be well below the 18.19 billion average, coming in today at just 15.44 billion.
