Economic Calendar: Key Market Movers (week of 29Dec25)

New Year’s Day Closures

In the upcoming week, several major financial markets will observe closures in celebration of New Year’s Day. The United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China will be closed on January 1st. Additionally, China will extend its holiday and remain closed on both January 1st and January 2nd. In Hong Kong, the market will have a half-day session on December 31st before closing for the holiday.

Crude Oil Inventories and Market Outlook

It is anticipated that there will be a drawdown of 2 million barrels in crude oil inventories. This reduction suggests an increase in demand at the production site, which may be interpreted as a positive signal for the market outlook.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes are scheduled for release next week. These minutes will serve as a significant reference point for understanding the direction of future interest rate decisions.

Manufacturing Sector Indicators

The forecast for the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for December is 49.4, indicating a contraction in the manufacturing sector. Similarly, the Chicago PMI for December is forecast at 39.5, also suggesting a contraction in Chicago’s manufacturing activity. In contrast, the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for December is expected to show growth, with a forecast of 51.8.

Either way, you end up making no money. The declines so far don’t seem to match the levels seen in April. How do you judge if a full-blown market crash has really arrived? What indicators help you pick the bottom?
