Financial Markets Update 8 December 2025
Certain US rate cut. Certain RBA rate hold
News Overnight
More inside trading right from the very top, saw risk assets spike just before PCE was released, only to go lower afterwards. It’s only a matter of time before market makers decide to abandon the sinking ship.
No matter, markets drifted for a lot of Fridays session, as the Silver fight at $60.00 drew all the attention.
RBA tomorrow and the FED Wednesday will have markets on their toes, but if it all goes as it almost certainly will, the run down before Xmas begins.
