Dear friends, I am Ridel Bosco Castillo, and I’m very happy to be here with all of you today, sharing the wonderful moments with family and friends. In our busy and fulfilling lives, besides enjoying the warm company of loved ones, we should never forget to continue growing and improving ourselves.

As the new week begins, our dream of financial freedom moves one step closer. Taking control of our investments is the key to seizing opportunities. Today, I invite you all to think deeply about the potential trends and opportunities the market might present next week, and to create a more detailed and precise trading plan. Strategic planning is the cornerstone of wealth growth.

Now, let's focus on a few key economic data and events that we need to pay attention to next week, as they will directly impact market trends. Mastering this information will allow us to navigate market fluctuations with ease and provide strong support for our investment decisions.

1.December ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI Data

The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data reflects the health of the non-manufacturing economy, including sectors such as retail, finance, real estate, education, and healthcare services. It is an important barometer for measuring economic activity.

If the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI remains above 50, it indicates that the economy is in an expansion phase, with rising consumer demand and increased business investment. This typically sparks optimism in the market, and the stock market is likely to rise.

If the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI falls below 50, it signals an economic slowdown, with reduced consumer spending and weakened business activity. This may trigger concerns about a potential recession and affect market confidence.

2.December ADP Employment Data

The ADP employment data tracks the number of new jobs added in the private sector and is often seen as a leading indicator for the non-farm payroll report. The health of the job market directly influences the expansion and contraction of the economy.

The previous ADP data was 146,000, while the market forecast for December ADP data is 143,000.

If the ADP figure significantly exceeds the forecast of 143,000, it would indicate that the economy is maintaining healthy growth, and the market could become more optimistic about the economic outlook, potentially pushing the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy.

If the ADP figure falls well below the forecast of 143,000, it would suggest economic weakness, and the Federal Reserve may be more likely to maintain an accommodative policy to stimulate the economy.

3.Federal Reserve's Release of the December Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes
The Federal Reserve's meeting minutes are an important document closely watched by the market. They provide a detailed account of the discussions held by Fed officials during the policy meeting, particularly on topics such as the direction of monetary policy, economic conditions, and future interest rate adjustments. The minutes will provide the market with key clues about the future direction of monetary policy.

We need to pay close attention to whether the minutes reveal any additional signals from the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate hikes, balance sheet reductions, or other tightening measures, or if they suggest that the economy is facing downside pressure and may require continued accommodative policies. These insights will serve as important references for developing our trading strategy.

4.Initial Jobless Claims for the Week Ending December 30
The weekly initial jobless claims data is one of the key indicators for assessing the health of the labor market. This data reflects the number of workers filing for unemployment benefits for the first time, providing a direct insight into layoffs and the overall state of the job market.

If the initial jobless claims exceed market expectations, it usually signals an economic slowdown, with increased layoffs by businesses. The market may become concerned about a potential recession, which could prompt the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy further to stimulate economic growth and restore the job market.

If the number of jobless claims declines, it suggests improvement in the job market, which could lead the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating and to control inflation.

5.Non-Farm Payroll Data Released This Friday
The non-farm payroll data measures the number of jobs added in all non-agricultural industries, excluding agricultural workers, private household employees, and employees of non-profit organizations. It is a key indicator of economic health and labor market strength.

Key Focus of Non-Farm Payroll Data: 
A.Non-farm payroll numbers 
B.B. Unemployment rate

The previous non-farm payroll data was 194,000, while the market forecast for this non-farm payroll data is 130,000.

If the released non-farm payroll data exceeds the market forecast of 130,000, it typically signals strong economic performance, indicating a healthy economy and a robust labor market. Strong employment data could lead to expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating and address potential inflationary pressures.

If the released non-farm payroll data is below the market forecast of 130,000, it may suggest slower economic growth, reduced business hiring, and weak employment data, which could raise concerns about a potential recession. This may prompt the Federal Reserve to adopt more accommodative monetary policies, even considering interest rate cuts to stimulate economic growth and promote job creation.
Major Events to Watch:

1.Speech by Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook

As one of the key decision-makers at the Federal Reserve, Lisa Cook's speeches are closely watched by the market. Not only does she have significant influence over the direction of Fed policy, but her remarks can have a profound impact on the market, especially regarding expectations on monetary policy, economic outlook, and interest rate adjustments.
Therefore, we must closely monitor Lisa Cook's speech, analyze her views on the economy, expectations for monetary policy, and the direction of future interest rate changes, and adjust our investment strategy accordingly.

2.Stock Market Closed on January 9: In Memory of President Jimmy Carter

January 9 will be a national day of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter, and the stock market will be closed. While the markets will not be trading, we still need to monitor the potential impact this event may have on market sentiment.

The stock market closure typically means a lack of trading activity, which reduces the immediate impact of unexpected events on the market. Market sentiment fluctuations may be delayed, but once the market reopens, it could experience greater volatility, especially after significant news or economic data releases.

Therefore, during market closures, we must be prepared, carefully plan and adjust our portfolios, and develop a well-thought-out strategy to manage the volatility once the market reopens.
