<p>油價和美國期貨下跌。</p>

<p>這些漲幅也幫助主要指數在這個波動的 12 月接近結束時進一步進入盈利區間。科技公司，尤其是那些專注於人工智能的公司，成為市場波動的主要力量。與人工智能相關的股票的走勢可能決定市場在 12 月是以盈利還是虧損收尾。</p>
<p>Uber 上漲 2.5%，Lyft 上漲 2.7%，因其宣佈計劃明年在倫敦推出機器人出租車服務。</p>
<p>Paramount Skydance 上漲 4.3%。該公司通過提供來自 Oracle 創始人、Paramount 首席執行官 David Ellison 父親 Larry Ellison 的 “不可撤銷個人擔保”，來增強對 Warner Bros. Discovery 的敵意收購要約。他為這筆交易提供數十億美元的支持，這是 Paramount 與 Netflix 競標戰中的最新舉措。</p>

<p>持續且廣泛的美國貿易戰對已經受到高價格壓力的消費者和企業造成了影響。頑固的高通脹和疲弱的就業市場的結合也使得美聯儲在未來的政策制定中處於尷尬的位置。</p>
<p>儘管如此，華爾街大多押注美聯儲將在 1 月的會議上維持利率不變。儘管通脹仍頑固地高於 2% 的目標，但美聯儲在最近的三次會議上已降低了基準利率。</p>
