Markets on Holiday. Alpha Still Printing.

Issue #158

December 16, 2025

Good morning!

As expected, the Fed cut rates by another 25 bps last week, which the bond market had already fully priced in. Risk assets initially reacted positively, but the cut proved to be a non-event, as it was already priced in. This, accompanied by hawkish rhetoric (fewer rate cuts in 2026) and some disappointing earnings, has dragged stocks away from their all-time highs and caused another drawdown in crypto. 

Following the Fed, most other major central banks are holding meetings this week. The Bank of England is expected to cut rates by 25 bps tomorrow, while the ECB is set to keep rates constant, and the Bank of Japan is likely to hike by 25 bps on Friday. Tomorrow we also get inflation data from the US, with forecasts currently in line with the latest September print - therefore, a lot of room for surprises given the missing data lately. Next week, we will receive US GDP growth data, currently projected to grow 3.2% quarter-on-quarter, down from 3.8% previously.
