With U.S. equity markets closed for the weekend, investors are digesting Friday’s quiet, post-holiday tape and a batch of late-week commentary that frames a simple question for Monday’s open: is CVNA’s 2025 surge “done,” or just taking a breath before the calendar

Singapore Exchange (SGX) heads into the final weekend of the year with two cross-currents that matter for both Singapore equities and the exchange operator itself: a quiet, liquidity-thinned post‑Christmas session that left the Straits Times Index (STI) essentially unchanged, and a fresh burst of macro data showing Singapore’s manufacturing engine still growing at a double‑digit pace—though slower than October’s surge.
