U.S. stock futures advanced on Monday following a tumultuous week which included the Federal Reserve&#8217;s hawkish rate cut on Wednesday and a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">Triple Witching</a>&#8221; hour session on Friday.

In premarket trading on Monday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.09% to $591.73 and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 0.23% to $519.04, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From The Last Session
Risk appetite returned to Wall Street on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">Friday</a>, giving investors some relief. November&#8217;s inflation data came in softer than expected, offering a glimmer of hope that the Federal Reserve may ease its aggressive monetary tightening.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.5%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also undershot expectations, climbing 2.8% instead of the projected 2.9%.
This unexpected cooling of inflation sparked a jubilant rally across all major indices. The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.09%, with every sector contributing to the gains. Investors cheered the reprieve from persistent inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, experiencing a sharp rebound after being particularly hard-hit by the Fed&#8217;s recent hawkish stance. Small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, also posted strong gains of 0.94%, buoyed by a significant recovery in regional banks.

According to the data shared by him, over the past four decades, there have been only five other instances where the S&amp;P 500 experienced a period of ten or more consecutive days of negative breadth. Additionally, the index was higher by an average of 17.9% a year later after all five times.

Along with this, the market breadth turned positive with 89% of the stocks rising on Friday as compared to only 4% on Wednesday. This divergence also led the index to be higher a year later by at least 92.3% of the time since 1985.

According to Gary Alexander at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;The S&amp;P 500 delivers an average of zero gains in the first half of December (and 0.3% through December 15 this year) but averages 1.35% in the second half, the best half-month of the 24 half-months each year.&#8221;
&#8220;Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure, excluding food and energy), the key inflation metric for the Fed, came in at 0.1% for November, below forecast and the lowest since June. This caught the market off guard, in a good way, as the rhetoric from Jerome Powell regarding sticky inflation had led the market to expect a surprise in the other direction,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates.
&#8220;The traditional Santa Rally is the last 5 trading days of the year and the first 2 of the New Year. It may still be in the cards,&#8221; he added.

US Stocks To Open Higher As Wall Street Expects 'Santa Rally' In Shortened Trading Week: MicroStrategy, Palantir, Qualcomm Among Stocks In Focus

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some easing in the fear level, with the index moving to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index surging almost 500 points during the session.
Even as the major indices recorded gains on Friday, all three averages fell last week. The Dow dipped around 2.3% to record its third losing week in a row. The S&amp;P 500 declined about 2%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell around 1.8% last week.
On the economic data front, the U.S. personal consumption expenditures price index rose 0.1% month-over-month in November down from 0.2% in each of the prior two months and compared to market estimates of 0.2%. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment rose to 74 in December, recording the highest level since April, versus a reading of 71.8 in November.

At a current reading of 28.1, the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 21.9.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
