US Stock Market Week Ahead: Fed’s “Hawkish Cut,” Delayed Jobs & CPI, and Triple Witching Set Up a Volatile Mid-December

Wall Street heads into the week of Dec. 15–19, 2025 with a rare mix of cross-currents: a freshly delivered Federal Reserve rate cut, a market-wide rotation away from mega-cap AI winners, and—most importantly—a compressed “data dump” of delayed U.S. economic releases after a 43-day federal government shutdown disrupted reporting schedules.
