Fed’s Soft Landing Narrative Meets Economic Data

The 'Santa Rally' is anticipated despite recent market volatility, supported by positive economic data and investor sentiment. Goldman Sachs suggests stocks may rise due to year-end factors like share buybacks and performance chasing. However, market breadth is selective, and elevated sentiment poses risks. The rally's sustainability depends on continued stabilization, contained yields, and no shocks. Technical indicators show improved momentum, but resistance at 6,900 may limit upside. Low volatility supports higher prices but increases vulnerability to declines if expectations aren't met.
