Sharp Market Divergence as December 2025 Begins
Gold, Oil, and Stocks Climb as the Dollar Weakens
|
The first week of December 2025 witnessed a notable divergence in global asset movements, with several markets recording strong gains driven by improved risk appetite, while others remained under clear pressure due to the dollar’s weak performance. Below is an overview of the key developments: |
 |
GBP/USD
The British pound ended the week with a significant rise, supported by a strong rebound from key support levels. The pair continued moving within a short-term upward channel, reinforcing a mildly bullish outlook heading into next week.
EUR/USD
The euro maintained stable trading with a clear upward bias, closing near an important resistance zone. This performance reflects ongoing dollar weakness and market reactions to Federal Reserve expectations for December, which supports the bullish trend if U.S. weakness persists.
Gold
Gold closed the week above strong support levels within its rising channel. Despite mid-week weakness, the metal regained stability, reaffirming continued demand as a safe-haven asset amid broader market volatility.
Crude Oil
Oil continued to post gradual gains within a steady upward trend, supported by improving demand outlooks and declining inventories. The weekly close near the high signals sustained buyer control.
USD/JPY
The pair faced selling pressure throughout the week, closing near its lowest level. Failure to break major resistance pushed it further downward, keeping the short-term outlook bearish.
Nasdaq
The Nasdaq delivered strong performance, marking a new weekly high supported by continued strength in technology stocks. Upward momentum remains evident, especially with improving investor sentiment across major corporations.
Dow Jones
The Dow Jones moved within a steady upward trend, reaching new levels supported by rising risk appetite and declining market volatility. The strong close increases the likelihood of further gains should economic stability continue.
