Stock indices in a bear trend
After the release of US data displaying a tense situation in the labour market and Q3 GDP data revised upward, investors became more concerned that the US Federal Reserve will maintain its hawkish policy for longer than expected. Low trading volume before the New Year holiday increases the likelihood of sharp price movements. Friday's technical correction offers a good chance that the downtrend for stock index futures will resume.

Risk warning. Trading in financial instruments and other assets, particularly leveraged products such as CFDs, is complex and carries a high risk of losing money rapidly. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, so small market movements can lead to disproportionate losses. The value of the assets referenced may rise or fall, and you may lose your entire invested amount. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The use of artificial intelligence, algorithms, automated strategies, or any other analytical tool in trading does not guarantee any particular outcome, does not eliminate risk, and does not replace your own judgement — you remain fully responsible for assessing every instrument, strategy, and decision, and for the results of your trading.
