Stocks Slip, Yields Climb: Markets Go Into Fed Holding Pattern
TL;DR
Quick Summary
* Stocks slipped to start the week (Dec. 8, 2025) as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq pulled back from near-record levels and the Dow eased after its November all-time high.
* Treasury yields pushed to their highest levels in more than two months, pressuring growth stocks and reminding investors that rate‑cut hopes still depend on incoming data.
* Bitcoin traded around $90,000 after recent volatility, as institutional interest stayed in focus with another nine‑figure buy from Michael Saylor’s firm.
* All eyes now turn to this week’s Fed decision, updated rate projections, and inflation data, which will shape how “real” 2026 rate cuts look and how much risk investors want to hold into year‑end.
