**Stocks with High Trading Volume in the Industry**

Starbucks down 3.06%. Based on recent news,

1.  On December 22, Starbucks workers' strike affected company operations. The strike impacted 300 stores in the U.S., increasing operational cost pressure, leading to a decline in stock price.
    
2.  On December 23, U.S. retail coffee prices rose by 40%, affecting Starbucks' profit expectations. The increase in coffee prices reflects rising costs of beans, wages, and logistics, leading to a lowered market expectation for Starbucks' future profit growth and putting pressure on the stock price.
    
3.  On December 23, Starbucks' high price-to-earnings ratio raised investor concerns. The P/E ratio reached 54.19, causing worries about overvaluation and resulting in a stock price decline. The competition in the coffee industry is intensifying, and cost pressures are increasing.
    

McDonald's down 1.13%. Based on recent news,

1.  On December 21, McDonald's opened its first store in Qinghai Province, achieving coverage of all 31 provincial-level administrative regions in mainland China. This move marks further expansion in the Chinese market but also brings increased operational costs, which may pressure short-term profits.

3.  On December 22, market analysis indicated a trend in the fast-food industry towards durable brands and global scale. Although McDonald's possesses these characteristics, the market remains cautious about its short-term performance. The fast-food industry is overall shifting towards durable brands.
