Stock Market Update Tuesday December 9, 2025 It was a subdued session on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 drifting to a modest loss as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC rate decision and Chair Powell’s remarks. The broader market has largely consolidated since the post-Thanksgiving rally, while Treasury yields have been grinding higher beneath the surface. Small caps continued to show relative strength, with the Russell 2000 (IWM) reclaiming all-time highs, even as the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) remain just shy of their peaks.
Score Board:
SPX: −0.1%
QQQ: +0.2%
IWM: +0.2%
Away From Stocks: Treasury curve flattened, as 2-year yields climbed 4 basis points to 3.61%, while the 30-year bond edged lower to 4.80% from 4.81% on Monday.
In commodities, WTI crude retreated toward $58 per barrel, extending recent weakness in energy markets. Gold firmed to $4,212 per ounce, while Bitcoin surged past $93,000. Volatility edged higher, with the VIX approaching 17, signaling mild risk hedging ahead of the Fed.
