Today, we will receive another labor market report — the ADP report. This is the second most important U.S. labor market report after the NFP, which is due this Friday. In addition, the publication of the FOMC minutes from the last Fed meeting will be equally important.
The first macroeconomic reports of this year have not brought good news for stock market investors. Yesterday’s ISM data publication raised serious concerns about the return of inflationary pressures in the U.S. Additionally, Donald Trump continues to emphasize his campaign promises in his interviews, fuelling fears of a strong pivot in U.S. policy towards protectionism.

It is also important to note that tomorrow the U.S. stock market will remain closed due to a day of mourning following the death of former President J. Carter on December 29, 2024.
