Holiday vibes hit Wall Street with markets closed today for Christmas, leaving traders to digest last week's mixed bag of tech rallies and inflation cools that eased yields to 3.75% and locked Fed cut odds at 87%. No action on December 25, but the quiet shutdown adds thin volume nitro for amplified swings when trading resumes Monday – December's +0.8% seasonality could squeeze Santa higher to 7,100 if PCE Thursday cools below 2.3%, but hot prints >2.6% yank cuts to 60% for 1% dips. Emerging Asia shines resilient, with STI holding 4,500 on bank yields like DBS's 4.2% drip amid wealth fees surging 25%, while tariff thaw whispers boost EM inflows 5% on dollar dips to 94. Crypto clings to $85K support testing floors, but cool data could rebound 5% to $90K on risk-on flows. Gold ventures beyond $4,500/oz for the first time, up 2% to $4,503 on CB hoards hitting 900 tonnes and debasement fears – this 50th record break caps the strongest annual performance in four decades, with Goldman Sachs eyeing $5,000 in 2026 on limitless AI compute demand. Silver doubles to $66 on industrial EV/solar waves widening deficits to 220 million ounces, adding diversification punch amid global slowdowns crimp 5%. Trump's Fed pivot to lower rates if markets thrive adds spice, potentially supercharging cyclicals 3% if easing unlocks 100bps+ in 2026. Nvidia reorganizes cloud division for data center power, adding $2B rev if green edge scales, lifting NVDA to $150 highs. UiPath jumps 6.8% to join S&P MidCap 400 – automation surge on AI advisory crushes $350 from $320. 😊🌟

Stocks to watch amid the holiday hush: Micron (MU) for AI memory edge after 10% explosion on $9.05B rev crush, Tesla (TSLA) on $3T dream with 1% jump to $446.74, Novo Nordisk (NVO) on pill approval rallying 7% to $145, Oracle (ORCL) data center test jumping 6% after hours to $202, Rocket Lab (RKLB) space boom climbing 10% to $25, Huntington Ingalls (HII) Navy contract soaring 5% to $290, Alphabet (GOOG) clean energy deal rising 2% to $208, Nike (NKE) consumer pulse dipping 11% after hours to $315, Tilray (TLRY) pot order dipping 5% to $1.71, Paramount (PARA) Ellison bid up 3% to $14.

Trading opportunities shine even in shutdown mode: Long MU calls at $110 dips for 15% pop if AI shines post-holiday, TSLA longs at $440 for 12% to $500 on robotaxi buzz, NVO calls on approval for 10% to $150, ORCL longs at $190 for 10% to $210 on TikTok venture, RKLB calls on space surge for 15% to $30, HII longs at $280 for 10% to $310, GOOG calls on deal for 5% to $220, short NKE puts on holiday rebound for 10% to $350, TLRY calls on pot order for 20% to $2.10, long PARA on bid for 8% to $15. Arbitrary plays? Pair long MU/short legacy semis for AI alpha amid capex fears. Risks: Hot PCE spikes VIX to 30, flushing 2% on thin volumes.

My plans: Scooping MU dips for quick 10% flip when markets reopen, adding TSLA on $3T buzz, hedging with VIX calls amid PCE risks – annual goals crushed at 28%, gunning for 5% December grabs on AI/policy edges. πŸŽ―πŸ€‘
