As users in Europe and the United States gradually return from the holiday season, market activity is picking up. However, the theme for this week remains adjustment, with noticeable market divergence and no sustained hotspots emerging yet. Later this month, Donald Trump is set to officially assume office as the new President of the United States, fostering optimistic expectations for 2025. Despite this, the recent significant pullback in U.S. stocks has introduced considerable uncertainty to the market. The upcoming interest rate meeting is highly likely to maintain the current rates without cuts, suggesting no immediate positive catalysts for the market in the short term.
