U.S. stock logged a third consecutive session of losses on Tuesday. Dow Jones fell 0.17% to 48,392. Nasdaq 100 was down 0.25% to 25,456, and the S&P500 closed 0.14% lower to 6,897. The Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes reveal a deeply divided committee behind its December rate cut. While most officials agreed further cuts could be appropriate if inflation continues to ease, several favored pausing to assess progress, citing lingering inflation risks.
In the forex market, EUR/USD slipped to a fresh weekly low near 1.1740 as the US Dollar showed some strength, with the Dollar Index hovering around 98.25. Despite Fed minutes signaling that most officials favor further rate cuts to support the labor market and a return toward neutral policy, the dollar remained supported. Markets are pricing in at least 50 bps of Fed rate cuts in 2026. Meanwhile, the euro stayed subdued in thin year-end trading, as the ECB is expected to keep rates unchanged in the near term with inflation close to its 2% target.
Cryptocurrency markets rebounded Tuesday, driven largely by short liquidations. Bitcoin rose about 1.4% to $88,390, with liquidation from short positions fueling the move. Ethereum gained around 1.2% to $2,942.
Precious metals struggled to recover from Monday’s sharp declines as selling pressure from profit taking continues. Gold is currently trading at $4,317 after falling to a low of $4,372 in the Asian session. Silver dropped to $70.30 and is currently trading at $71.40.
