๐Ÿ“‹ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2025

Market Sentiment: Cautious optimism with mixed signals. U.S. equity markets are navigating the aftermath of yesterday’s employment data shock. Investors are reassessing Fed policy expectations and positioning for potential rate cuts in January 2026.

Key Focus Today: Producer Price Index (PPI) data released this morning provides crucial inflation insights for producers. This data will help confirm whether inflation is truly cooling or if there are underlying pressures that could complicate Fed rate cut decisions.

Market Dynamics: The market is in a transition phase, moving from economic strength and rising rates to economic uncertainty and falling rates. This creates both risks and opportunities for investors positioning for 2026.

Fed Policy Path: Yesterday’s employment data increased rate cut expectations, but today’s PPI data will be critical in determining the magnitude and timing of potential cuts. A hotter-than-expected PPI could delay rate cuts.

Year-End Positioning: With only 8 trading days left in 2025, portfolio managers are actively positioning for year-end and making strategic adjustments for 2026. This could create volatility in the final weeks of the year.

๐Ÿ”ด MARKET PULSE & OVERVIEW – WEDNESDAY SESSION

Market Status: U.S. equity markets are trading with mixed sentiment on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, as investors digest the Producer Price Index (PPI) data released this morning and continue to process yesterday’s employment report. The session is characterized by cautious positioning ahead of the holiday season.

PPI Data Impact: The Producer Price Index data released this morning showed inflation pressures at the producer level. This data is crucial for the Fed’s decision-making process, as it provides insights into whether inflation is truly cooling or if there are underlying pressures that could complicate rate cut decisions.

Trading Volume: Volume is moderate, reflecting year-end positioning and reduced participation as the market approaches the holiday season. Institutional investors are active in selective sectors, particularly technology and healthcare, while energy stocks remain under pressure.

Volatility: The VIX (implied volatility index) remains elevated but stable, indicating continued uncertainty about the Fed’s policy path and economic growth prospects. Intraday volatility is contained within normal ranges, though some sectors show significant movement.

Sector Performance: Technology continues to show selective strength with mega-cap names rebounding, while energy stocks remain weak due to crude oil weakness. Healthcare and consumer staples provide defensive support, while financials face headwinds from rate cut expectations.

๐Ÿ“Š Wednesday Session Analysis

S&P 500 (+0.22%): The benchmark index recovered to 6,815.00, gaining 14.74 points and moving back above yesterday’s close. This recovery suggests that investors are finding value after yesterday’s selloff. The index is now trading above its 50-day moving average (~6,750) and approaching its all-time high of 6,816.51. The recovery is being led by selective technology names and healthcare stocks.

NASDAQ Composite (+0.32%): The tech-heavy Nasdaq continued its recovery, gaining 74.04 points to 23,185.50. This represents a strong two-day rally of +128.09 points (+0.55%), indicating renewed investor confidence in technology stocks. The recovery is being driven by mega-cap names like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, which are rebounding after recent weakness.

DOW Jones (+0.28%): The Dow recovered 135.74 points to 48,250.00, showing strength across broad-based indices. However, the index is still down 166.56 points over the two-day period, suggesting that the recovery is not yet complete. The recovery is being led by financial stocks and selective industrials.

Russell 2000 (+0.64%): Small-cap stocks showed the strongest performance, gaining 16.20 points (+0.64%) to 2,535.50. This outperformance suggests that investors are rotating into smaller, more domestically-focused companies, which could benefit from lower interest rates and reduced economic uncertainty.

๐Ÿ“Š Forex Analysis – Wednesday

EUR/USD (+0.13%): The euro strengthened slightly to 1.1765, continuing its upward trend from yesterday. The euro has gained 0.74 cents over the two-day period, reflecting continued dollar weakness on rate cut expectations. The euro is now trading near its strongest levels in several weeks, supported by relative stability in the eurozone economy and expectations for a more dovish Fed.

US Dollar Index (-0.15%): The DXY fell to 98.80, continuing its decline from yesterday. The index has now fallen 0.35 points over the two-day period, reflecting broad-based dollar weakness. The weakness is particularly pronounced against major currencies like the euro and British pound, as investors rotate away from the dollar on expectations of lower U.S. interest rates.

GBP/USD (+0.16%): Sterling strengthened to 1.2670, gaining 0.20 cents today and 0.55 cents over the two-day period. The pound is benefiting from dollar weakness and the Bank of England’s relatively hawkish stance compared to the Fed.

USD/JPY (-0.50%): The yen strengthened to 148.75, declining 0.75 yen today and 1.60 yen over the two-day period. The yen is benefiting from risk-off sentiment and lower U.S. rates, both of which are supporting the currency.

US 30-Year Yield4.38%-4 bps-5 bps-114 bps
2-10 Yield Spread13 bps0 bps+1 bp+20 bps

๐Ÿ“ˆ Fixed Income Analysis – Wednesday

Yield Curve Dynamics: The 10-year Treasury yield declined 3 basis points to 4.15%, continuing the downward trend from yesterday. The 2-10 spread remains stable at 13 basis points, suggesting that the yield curve is normalizing as short-term rates are expected to decline faster than long-term rates. The overall decline in yields reflects continued flight-to-quality flows and reduced inflation expectations.

Rate Cut Pricing: The market is maintaining approximately 75% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in January 2026. Today’s PPI data did not significantly change these expectations, suggesting that inflation pressures at the producer level are not significantly higher than expected.

Credit Spreads: Investment-grade credit spreads remain stable, indicating that credit markets are not pricing in significant economic deterioration. High-yield spreads have widened slightly as investors continue to reassess risk in the energy sector.

๐Ÿ† Commodities Deep Dive – Wednesday

Gold (+0.31%): Gold gained $13.23 to $4,318.50 per ounce, continuing its strong performance. The precious metal is now trading near its all-time high of $4,381.58 set in October 2025. Gold is supported by safe-haven demand, the weaker dollar, and expectations for lower interest rates. The year-to-date gain of 63.2% reflects strong institutional demand and central bank buying.

Silver (+1.95%): Silver outperformed, gaining $1.25 to $65.25 per ounce. The white metal is benefiting from both safe-haven demand and industrial optimism. Silver’s year-to-date gain of 43.4% reflects its dual nature as both a precious metal and an industrial commodity. The recent strength suggests investors are positioning for economic recovery while maintaining defensive exposure.

Crude Oil (-1.8%): WTI crude fell $1.25 to $67.25 per barrel, continuing its downward trend. Oil is now trading at its lowest level since 2021, driven by a looming supply surplus and weak demand signals. The year-to-date decline of 22.7% reflects the challenging environment for energy producers.

Natural Gas (-2.5%): Natural gas fell $0.07 to $2.78/MMBtu, reflecting weak demand and ample supply. The year-to-date decline of 26.8% reflects the mild winter weather and reduced heating demand.

The 24-hour trading volume of $44.2 billion indicates strong institutional participation and confidence in the asset.

Technical Levels: Bitcoin is trading above its 50-day moving average (~$86,500) and 200-day moving average (~$82,000), confirming the long-term uptrend.

Institutional Interest: Bitcoin ETF flows remain positive, with institutional investors continuing to accumulate. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. has significantly increased institutional adoption, with major asset managers now offering Bitcoin exposure to their clients.

Macro Drivers: Bitcoin is benefiting from expectations of lower U.S. interest rates, which reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. The weaker dollar also supports Bitcoin, as investors seek alternative stores of value.

Ethereum 2.0 & Staking: Ethereum validators are earning approximately 6% APR on staked ETH, which equates to about 1.92 ETH or $5,750 per day for a typical validator. This yield is attracting institutional capital to the network.

4. ECONOMIC DATA & ANALYSIS – WEDNESDAY FOCUS

๐Ÿ“Š Producer Price Index (PPI) – Wednesday Release

IndicatorCurrentPreviousExpectedAssessment
PPI (Core, MoM)+0.2%+0.3%+0.2%IN LINE – Inflation cooling
PPI (Core, YoY)+2.4%+2.6%+2.5%BEAT – Lower than expected
PPI (Headline, MoM)+0.1%+0.2%+0.1%IN LINE – Stable
PPI (Headline, YoY)+2.2%+2.4%+2.3%BEAT – Lower than expected

๐Ÿ“ˆ PPI Data Analysis – Wednesday

Core PPI (MoM) +0.2%: The core PPI (excluding food and energy) increased 0.2% month-over-month, matching expectations. This suggests that inflation pressures at the producer level are moderating. The month-over-month increase is lower than the previous month’s +0.3%, indicating a slowdown in producer price inflation.

Core PPI (YoY) +2.4%: The year-over-year core PPI increased 2.4%, beating expectations of +2.5%. This is a positive sign for the Fed, as it suggests that inflation is cooling faster than expected. The year-over-year increase is lower than the previous month’s +2.6%, confirming the downward trend in inflation.

Headline PPI (MoM) +0.1%: The headline PPI (including food and energy) increased 0.1% month-over-month, matching expectations. This suggests that energy prices are stabilizing after recent weakness.

Headline PPI (YoY) +2.2%: The year-over-year headline PPI increased 2.2%, beating expectations of +2.3%. This is a positive sign for the Fed, as it suggests that overall inflation is cooling.

Implications: The PPI data supports the Fed’s rate cut expectations. With both core and headline PPI coming in lower than expected, the Fed has more room to cut rates in January 2026 without worrying about reigniting inflation. This data should support equity markets and cryptocurrencies.

โš ๏ธ Economic Risks

  • Accelerating Unemployment:ย If the unemployment rate continues to rise, it could trigger a recession and force the Fed to cut rates more aggressively.
  • Wage Pressure Easing:ย A weaker labor market could ease wage growth, reducing inflation but also pressuring consumer spending.
  • Consumer Confidence:ย Rising unemployment could weigh on consumer confidence and discretionary spending.
  • Corporate Earnings:ย A weaker labor market could pressure corporate earnings as companies face reduced consumer demand.

โœ“ Economic Opportunities

  • Rate Cut Catalyst:ย Weaker labor market and stable inflation data increase the probability of Fed rate cuts.
  • Defensive Positioning:ย Investors may rotate into defensive sectors like healthcare and utilities.
  • Fixed Income Rally:ย Bond prices could rally as investors price in lower rates.

๐Ÿ”‘ Primary Market Drivers – Wednesday

  • PPI Data Confirmation:ย Today’s PPI data confirmed that inflation is cooling at the producer level, supporting Fed rate cut expectations.
  • Fed Rate Cut Expectations:ย The combination of weaker labor market data and stable inflation data increases the probability of a 25bp rate cut in January 2026.
  • Technology Recovery:ย Mega-cap technology stocks are rebounding after three days of losses, suggesting that investors are finding value at current levels.
  • Year-End Positioning:ย With only 8 trading days left in 2025, portfolio managers are making strategic adjustments for year-end and positioning for 2026.
  • Holiday Season Dynamics:ย Reduced trading volume during the holiday season could create exaggerated price movements.

โš ๏ธ Key Risks to Monitor – Wednesday

  • Valuation Risk:ย Some technology stocks are trading at elevated valuations, creating downside risk if earnings disappoint.

โœ“ Investment Opportunities – Wednesday

  • Fixed Income:ย Bond prices could rally as investors price in lower rates, providing capital appreciation opportunities.
  • Dividend Stocks:ย Companies with strong dividend yields could provide attractive risk-adjusted returns.
  • Defensive Sectors:ย Healthcare, utilities, and consumer staples could provide stable returns in a slowing economy.

7. INVESTMENT THESIS & RECOMMENDATIONS – WEDNESDAY

๐Ÿ“Š Current Market Thesis – Wednesday Update

The market is transitioning from a period of economic strength and rising rates to a period of economic uncertainty and falling rates. The employment data released yesterday and the PPI data released today confirm that the Fed has room to cut rates in January 2026 without worrying about reigniting inflation. This shift is creating both risks and opportunities for investors.

Bull Case: Rate cuts could support equity valuations, particularly for growth stocks and technology companies. Lower rates would also support bond prices and reduce borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. Cryptocurrencies could benefit from lower rates and increased institutional adoption. The recovery in technology stocks today suggests that investors are finding value at current levels.

Bear Case: Weaker labor market data could signal the beginning of a recession, which would pressure corporate earnings and equity valuations. Credit spreads could widen, creating stress in credit markets. Geopolitical tensions could disrupt energy markets and create additional uncertainty.

โœ“ Recommended Positioning – Wednesday

  • Equities:ย Maintain a balanced approach with selective exposure to technology stocks with strong earnings and reasonable valuations. Increase exposure to defensive sectors like healthcare and utilities.
  • Fixed Income:ย Increase exposure to bonds as prices could rally on lower rate expectations. Consider a mix of government and investment-grade corporate bonds.
  • Commodities:ย Maintain exposure to gold and silver for portfolio diversification and inflation protection. Reduce exposure to energy given weak crude oil prices.
  • Cryptocurrencies:ย Consider modest exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum for portfolio diversification and potential upside from lower rates.
  • Cash:ย Maintain adequate cash reserves for opportunities that may arise from market volatility.

โš ๏ธ Risk Management – Wednesday

  • Diversification:ย Maintain a diversified portfolio across asset classes to reduce concentration risk.
  • Stop Losses:ย Use stop losses to protect against downside risk in equity positions.
  • Hedging:ย Consider hedging strategies to protect against market downside in a recession scenario.
  • Rebalancing:ย Regularly rebalance portfolio to maintain target asset allocation.
  • Monitoring:ย Closely monitor economic data and Fed communications for changes in market conditions.

INVESTMENT THE ORIGINAL DIGEST NOVEMBER 18/19 2025โœŒINVESTMENT DAS ORIGINALย 18./19. NOVEMBER 2025 FOUNDED IN 2000 ANNO DOMINIโœŒ


INVESTMENT THE ORIGINAL โ€” DAILY DIGEST (NOV 18/19)

ENGLISH VERSION

โšก MARKET OVERVIEW โ€” GLOBAL RISK REPRICING INTENSIFIES

Markets enter the week with sharpened volatility as investors weigh mixed inflation signals, persistent geopolitical pressure, and unusually aggressive liquidity movements inside both US and EU bond markets.

  • S&P 500: Flat to +0.3% pre-market, with tech rotation continuing into semiconductors and away from megacap AI names.
  • NASDAQ: +0.5% as renewed demand for chip-heavy ETFs drives early flows.
  • DAX: Opens weak at โ€“0.4% despite strong industrial orders; European equities face a new wave of defensive repositioning.
  • 10Y U.S. Treasury: Stabilizing around 4.43%, indicating improved demand after three sessions of heavy outflows.
  • Gold: Holds above $2,380, supported by central bank buying.
  • Bitcoin: Trades between $63,800โ€“65,200, with leverage flushing out overleveraged longs again.

The big theme:
Liquidity is shifting toward defensive real assets, energy, and mid-cap industrials while investors wait for the Fedโ€™s December tone.


๐Ÿ“‰ INFLATION & MACRO SIGNALS

United States:

  • Producer prices fell โ€“0.2% month-over-month, contradicting analysts expecting +0.1%.
  • Core services inflation remains sticky, weakening the โ€œsoft landingโ€ narrative.

Eurozone:

  • Germanyโ€™s wholesale prices continue to flatten; energy components turn negative for a third month.
  • ECB members signal โ€œno cut before April 2026,โ€ triggering bond repricing in peripheral EU states.

Asia:

  • Japan records highest wage growth in 30 years, increasing pressure on BOJ to finally exit ultra-loose policy.
  • China injects liquidity equivalent to $110B into the banking system to stabilize private credit.

๐Ÿ“Š SECTOR SNAPSHOT

Tech:
NVIDIA, AMD, and ASML lead inflows; AI server demand still expanding. Apple underperforms due to supply chain downgrades.

Energy:
Oil rebounds to $80.40, driven by Middle East shipping disruptions and reduced US inventories.

Financials:
US banks continue reshuffling commercial real-estate exposure after new stress-test guidance.

Real Estate:
European CRE valuations face third downward adjustment in Q4, especially logistics and retail.


๐Ÿ”ฅ SPECIAL ANALYSIS: โ€œTHE LIQUIDITY TRIANGLEโ€

Todayโ€™s dominant structural driver is the interaction between:

  1. US Treasury Issuance
  2. Global Central Bank Reserve Rebalancing
  3. Corporate Buyback Cycles

The liquidity triangle is turning in favour of
defensive equities (healthcare, industrial automation) and short-duration fixed income.

Aggressive investors are rotating into:

  • Lithium refiners
  • Uranium mining
  • Niche AI hardware suppliers
  • Long-dated gold miners with low extraction costs

๐Ÿ’Ž THE PATRON SECTION โ€” EXCLUSIVE STRATEGY SIGNAL

(Shortened preview โ€” full access only on Patreon)

Todayโ€™s private model output identifies:

  • Two undervalued infrastructure ETFs
    (5โ€“8% expected quarterly upside based on capital-expenditure flows)
  • One energy major with abnormal insider accumulation
  • Three micro-cap AI automation firms screened through the proprietary โ€œVolatility-Adjusted Revenue Vector (VARV)โ€ model

Patreon subscribers receive:

  • The complete tickers,
  • The entry ranges,
  • The risk-adjusted exit models,
  • And the full technical breakdown used in the Investment The Original system.

Join via Bernd Pulchโ€™s Patreon to unlock the complete professional-grade dossier.


๐Ÿ“ข BERND PULCH NOTE โ€” TODAYโ€™S INSIGHT

Bernd Pulch highlights the widening gap between public market sentiment and private deal-flow intelligence.
Private capital is already deploying into:

  • energy transition assets,
  • digital payment rails,
  • cross-border AI compliance infrastructure.

Public markets will follow with a 3โ€“6-month delay, creating a rare accumulation window.
