TheDrop Market Analysis, 12/26/24

Markets went from being a Christmas rally to a Christmas trickle as the day continued.

Today's experience greatly paralleled that of Christmas Eve's, where stocks marginally grew. Today is no different: The Dow rose by a mere 0.7%. While Christmas sales are partially driving up stocks, it is clear that investors are still skeptical over whether or not they should buy or sell. Holding has generally become a major trend this week, keeping stocks flat.

Most stocks either rose or fell by very miniscule margins. Nvidia, Google, and Amazon fell, while Apple rose. Most of these stocks experienced early morning surges until ultimately flattening or decreasing by the afternoon.

The "Trump stocks" differed in performance. Tesla fell by 1.8% as a result of its oversaturated nature after its rise on Tuesday. Meanwhile, DJT rose by an even larger 3.5% as investors pour in to fill the gaps left by Trump's massive evacuation of the company.

Three Japanese stocks-Nissan, Toyota, and Honda- all swiftly surged today after news of a successful merger deal. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy falls by a significant margin due to Bitcoin's stalemate in the markets.
