In the final full trading week of 2025, US markets were cautious and largely directionless, with equities drifting lower (tech and small caps lagging), bonds steady, and the dollar softer as investors awaited key jobs data to shape Fed expectations, while cryptocurrencies weakened and Treasuries remained on track for a strong year. Euro area industrial production increased at the fastest pace in five months in October, led by robust output growth in the energy sector and non-durable goods manufacturing, with preliminary data from the statistical office Eurostat showing a significant increase. The New York Fed's general business conditions index plunged to a negative 3.9 in December from a positive 18.7 in November, indicating an unexpected downturn in regional manufacturing activity with a negative reading. The European Central Bank plans to maintain interest rates at their current level and update their growth forecasts upwards, according to statements ahead of the ECB's December meeting.
