Asian equities are mostly firmer in quiet trading, while overall sentiment remains mixed. Optimism about potential rate cuts next year is offset by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n
The US dollar<\/strong> is holding near multi-month lows, while the yen<\/strong> is attempting to stabilise after recent volatility. Markets remain sensitive to signals from the Bank of Japan and any hints of official\u00a0action.<\/p>\n
bitcoin<\/strong> remains range-bound in thin conditions, hovering in the high-$80k area. With low liquidity, sudden volatility spikes remain a\u00a0risk.<\/p>\n
The macro calendar is relatively light, with US Pending Home Sales (Nov)<\/strong> among the key releases. Attention later this week will turn to the FOMC\u00a0minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Low volume \u2260 low risk. Smaller positions and disciplined risk management matter more than ever into the New\u00a0Year.<\/p>\n
