Monthly Market Summary

The market finished December modestly lower after 21 trading days, with 8 S&P 500 up days, 9 down days and 4 flat days, reflecting a slightly negative tone. Leadership was narrow: the Chip Supply Chain (+3.5%) and Mag 7 (AI spenders, +3.0%) were the best performers, while Airlines was among the relative leaders despite a small decline (-2.0%). Broad weakness dominated, however, as Energy (-9.9%), Analog & Embedded Chips (-10.0%) and Materials (-10.7%) were the worst hit. Overall the month showed concentrated upside in tech-related pockets but significant sectoral dispersion and downside pressure across commodity and chip-adjacent names.
