Hello Traders,

Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few 'charts of interest' thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service - just what I am looking at and interested in.

Today we looked at; FX STAM,  Delta Air Lines ($DAL), Rocket lab Corporation ($RKLB), Deutsche Bank ($DB), and UBER Technologies Inc ($UBER).

Paul's Monday market update for December 15, 2025, covered the final session of the year. Key points included the Aussie dollar's strength, the Japanese yen's weakness despite expected rate hikes, and the US dollar's weakness due to anticipated rate cuts in 2026. Sterling showed mixed performance, with strength against the dollar, yen, and Swiss franc but weakness against the Aussie, kiwi, and euro. Indices like the Dow and S&P 500 were in strategic buy environments, while the ASX remained tactically short. Gold and silver were strategic buys, and Bitcoin was a strategic sell. Upcoming data releases and central bank meetings were highlighted as key events for the week.

We also covered the usual suspects: $DJIA, $NDX, $SPY, $RTY, $DAX, $FTSE, $N225, $WTI, $XAUUSD, $XAGUSD, $BTCUSD, $USD, $DXY, $JPY, $AUD, $CHF, $NZD and $GBP.

***That completes 2025 MMU. We now take a Christmas break and return on Monday 5th January 2026. Thanks for all your help and support throughout the year.***

Trade well,

Paul
