Wall Street advances with broad gains, tech gains continue
Mon December 22, 2025 7:08 PM
The indexes shot straight up today and stayed there on yet another round of exuberance driven by Micron and lower than expected inflation. Also boosting was Nvidia’s announcement that its more powerful AI chips will begin shipping to China in February, lending ever more credence to AI after its very brief lapse. The VIX has fallen to its lowest level in over a year and the annual Santa Claus starts on Wednesday, which since 1950 has seen the S&P rise another 1.3%.
Tomorrow we get Q3 GDP and soon after consumer confidence and jobless claims, all of which will provide more insight on the health of the economy and future Fed policy. All the indexes are well on their way to a third consecutive year of gains with the S&P alone up 17% on the year. For a shortened holiday week, volume is light and likely to go lighter, today coming in at 14.57 billion vs the 16.9 average.
