Santa Claus rally, FTX fallout, and restart of Keystone top week ahead - Fox Business

Investors are poised this week to see whether Christmas miracles really do come true with hopes for a Santa Claus rally. Thus far, the Nasdaq is down 8.7% over the past month, while the S&P 500 and Dow are lower by 4.5% and 3.3%, respectively.

While Sam Bankman-Fried's next court date is not until Jan. 3, 2023, investors will nonetheless be focused on FTX this week after co-founder Gary Wang and former Alameda Research co-CEO Caroline Ellison both entered guilty pleas in federal court. Both are said to be cooperating with authorities.

Initial public offerings this week could include biotech Coya Therapeutics, health tech Nava Health MD, wealth and asset manager Prestige Wealth and marine bunkering facility provider CBL International.

Monday, December 26

The markets are closed Monday in observance of Christmas. Here are some must-do financial moves to make before year-end.

Tuesday, December 27

Tuesday brings economic data, including the Federal Housing Finance Agency's monthly home price index, which is expected to fall by 0.30% since last month but is still expected to be up by 9.1% year over year.

Last month, William Doerner, the supervisory economist in FHFA’s Division of Research and Statistics commented: "The rate of U.S. house price growth has substantially decelerated. This deceleration is widespread with about one-third of all states and metropolitan statistical areas registering annual growth below 10 percent."

Tuesday will also see the Case-Shiller home price index. Observers expect the measure to fall by 1.2% month over month. House prices are falling as high mortgage rates deter buyers from entering the market. Mortgage rates remain nearly double what they were a year ago, despite falling for six weeks straight. 

MORTGAGE RATES CONTINUE DOWNWARD TREND, FALLING FOR SIXTH WEEK

To cope with high inflation and higher costs, UPS will raise delivery fees on Tuesday. Investors will be watching this closely to see how elastic shipping demand is.

Tuesday also marks the deadline for certification of new versions of the Boeing 737 Max, the -10 and -7, and retrofitting existing planes; however, as part of the spending bill passed by the Senate last week, Boeing has been granted an exemption and will no longer have to make the safety changes.
