Looking at the year-end market, commodities and stocks each have their own stories.

On the precious metals side, gold experienced a slight pullback, down 0.12% to close at $4479.47 per ounce, while silver defied the trend and rose 0.5% to 71.81 yuan. Energy commodities were a bit weaker, with WTI crude oil slipping 0.14% to $58.47 per barrel, and Brent crude oil falling 0.22% to $62.30. Overall, crude oil shows signs of weakness on both ends.

The US stock market is still looking strong. All three major indices are rising, with the Dow leading up 0.6%, the S&P 500 up 0.32%, and the Nasdaq up 0.22%. It seems institutions are still actively deploying. Europe, however, isn't as impressive, with the UK FTSE 100 down 0.19%, and France's CAC40 remaining relatively flat.

The ongoing effects of the Federal Reserve's repurchase agreements are still unfolding, and such policies continue to influence market pricing expectations. Against a relatively friendly macro policy backdrop, both traditional assets and cryptocurrencies are worth paying attention to for potential market movements.

This wave of crude oil has really flattened out, is the downward trend coming to an end? Or is there some trick brewing? Silver has quietly started to rise, while gold has become timid. Why is the difference so big? Are US stock institutions still increasing leverage? Still daring to lift the banner at the end of the year, their courage is incredible. The Fed's repurchase trick has started again. How long can they keep fooling us this time? Only brave warriors are still daring to bottom fish in crude oil now. The S&P only rose 0.32% but is being hyped up. Is this called strength? I think it's just false fire. The trouble of cutting losses, Europe might be the last night of the plunge before the final drop.

Crude oil is so weak, feels like there's not much to look forward to at the end of the year... Still, let's watch the US stocks, the Dow Jones is leading again. Silver rising against the trend? That's pretty interesting. The Fed's repurchase operation has the market excited; there's really no other way to put it. Europe remains the same, nothing new. Crypto needs to be watched closely; the best opportunities are when policies are friendly. Is gold no longer attractive? It only dropped 0.12%, why be so pessimistic? At the end of the year, the market is just the three indices each doing their own thing, retail investors just watch the show. What are the institutions布局ing? Feels like it's all guesswork. Crude oil double tops are losing strength; it hasn't really gained anything anyway. Macro-friendly sounds good, but when it comes to the wallet, it's a different story. S&P up 0.32%, this increase... honestly, it's a bit awkward. Silver moving 0.5% in the opposite direction? There must be a story behind it.

Silver's recent countertrend move is quite interesting; it feels like something is brewing.

Crude oil double top is so weak, how come there are still people daring to buy the dip? Silver's rally is still pretty good, but gold has been a bit sleepy this wave. Is the Federal Reserve easing? Then crypto needs to keep a close eye. Europe really has no presence, US stocks are still fierce. What are institutions布局ing? I feel like there might be a trap ahead. The S&P and Dow Jones are starting to compete internally again. At the end of the year, each asset is doing its own thing. Who wins and who loses is still unknown.

Crude oil is so weak, it's really not interesting. Still, watching the US stocks show some signs of recovery... Why is silver still holding on?

Crude oil is so weak, it seems the energy sector really isn't making much noise. Silver is actually showing some interesting countertrend movement. As soon as the Federal Reserve takes action, the market becomes active. US stocks are performing very well, and Europe has indeed fallen behind. This year's end rally requires close attention from both traditional assets and the crypto space. Friendly policies are the best signal. The three major US stock indices are soaring together—feels a bit familiar. Gold is falling while silver is rising—what's going on with this divergence? It feels like institutions are rebalancing.
