The U.S. Dollar is ending the year in tight ranges after managing to squeeze out a bit of a winning streak in the past three days.
December is looking like it will represent a 1.2% loss for the Buck per the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index. 2025 closes out being the worst annual performance for the Buck in eight years. Meanwhile, oil prices are on track to finish with their steepest yearly loss since the 2020 pandemic.
Bitcoin and other crypto assets are saying “Goodbye” to the year on a sour note after initially gaining throughout the first half of the year with enthusiasm supported by regulation favoring smooth exchanges and transfers. Precious metals rose along with industrial elements such as Copper in a year when raw materials and sources of energy grew in importance, thus reaching fresh new all-time record highs. 2026 will bring elections across the globe and likely more surprises after 2025’s wild turns. Our Monex USA offices will be closed tomorrow in observance of New Year’s Day. We will return on Friday.
