Santa Didn’t Disappoint Tech Investors

Last week might have been shortened by the Christmas holiday, but it certainly didn’t disappoint. Eight out of eleven sectors finished the week positive, and even the laggards were barely in negative territory.

We shouldn’t read too deeply into a single week of trading, particularly given that it was a shortened holiday week with thin trading. But one point is abundantly clear. The animal spirits are alive and well in these last days of 2025. Investors are ending the year much as they started it: hungry for growth and willing to take risk.

Is that a sign of things to come in 2026?
