TL;DR
Quick Summary
* US stocks ended mixed on December 9, 2025, as traders sat on their hands ahead of Wednesday’s Fed rate decision.

TL;DR
- Stocks: Sideways with a slight sag. Major US indexes finished mixed on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, as investors waited for the Fed rather than making big bets.
- Bonds: Yields drift up. Treasury yields ticked higher, signaling the market is less about if the Fed trims rates Wednesday and more about how fast it cuts in 2026.
- Crypto: Bitcoin holds the line. Bitcoin hovered a bit above $90,000 by late afternoon, down roughly 1% on the day, while total crypto market cap slipped around 1–2%.
- Next up: The macro main event. The Fed decision, Powell’s Q&A, and a restarted run of inflation and labor reports will likely set the tone for the rest of December.
