Mosaic Announces October And November Potash Revenues Of $299M; Phosphates Revenue Of $680M; Mosaic Fertilizantes Revenue Of $823M

<p>It's the holiday season, but the stock market's festivities have been anything but cheerful this week.</p>
<p>At the week&#8217;s start traders were buoyed by a record-breaking Nasdaq 100 topping 22,000 and an optimistic outlook on interest rate cuts ahead <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/12/42561549/fed-slashes-interest-rates-by-0-25-as-predicted-december-dot-plot-flags-only-2-potential-cuts-in-2025">of the Federal Reserve meeting</a>.</p>
<p>All signs pointed to the Santa Rally – a time Wall Street traditionally celebrates with stocks climbing during the final stretch of the year – making its grand entrance yet again in 2025.</p>
<p>Yet, just as traders were preparing for a festive year-end bull run, the Grinch arrived midweek to throw a wrench in the celebrations.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Grinch Steals The Show</strong></h3>
<p>Wednesday marked a dramatic turn of events as the Federal Reserve's hawkish tone sent shockwaves through the markets. </p>
<p>Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong> delivered a lump of coal to investors by declaring a "new phase" for monetary policy. While the Fed had already cut rates by 100 basis points since September, Powell hinted at a prolonged pause, citing rates moving &#8220;meaningfully&#8221; closer to neutral territory. </p>
<p>The implications were clear: the days of aggressive cuts are over. Even worse than that, the Grinch didn&#8217;t rule out the possibility of a rate hike next year. This unexpected twist sent shivers down traders&#8217; spines, leaving markets rattled.</p>
<p>The CBOE Volatility Index or VIX – Wall Street's so-called fear gauge – spiked over 70% on Wednesday, its sharpest single-day surge since February 2018. </p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded their worst daily performances in over two years, while tech stocks sank like a stone in deep water.</p>
<p>Hopes for a Santa Rally seemed to crumble as the Grinch stole the show. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Christmas Miracle?</strong></h3>
<p>Just when it seemed all was lost, Friday brought a glimmer of hope—the kind of plot twist only a Christmas story could deliver. </p>
<p>Fresh inflation data offered an unexpected gift to traders: the Fed's personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index rose by 2.4% in November, falling short of the anticipated 2.5%. Even more encouraging, the core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, held steady at 2.8%, undercutting predictions of 2.9%.</p>
<p>This softer-than-expected inflation print was the equivalent to finding a shiny new toy under the tree.</p>
<p>Risk appetite rebounded swiftly, with traders rushing to scoop up the stocks battered during the week's earlier sell-off. </p>
<p>Sentiment brightened, and with it, the Santa Rally narrative began to regain momentum.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Santa Rally And Its Legacy</strong></h3>
<p>The stock market has a long-standing tendency to rally during the last trading days of December. </p>
<p>According to data from Seasonax, the S&amp;P 500 has posted gains during the Dec. 20–Dec. 31 period in 76 out of the past 96 years, averaging a 1.92% return. Over the last eight years, this year-end rally has been remarkably consistent, delivering positive returns each time.</p>
<p>In the past three decades, the S&amp;P 500 has ended the year on a high note in 24 of 30 instances. Even the losses have been relatively mild, with the most recent December downturn occurring in 2022 when the index slipped by 1.8% during the final days.</p>
<p>With six trading days left in 2024, traders may still have time to save the Santa Rally.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10 Stocks To Watch For Year-End Gains</strong></h3>
<p>Looking back at 20 years of data, here are 10 standout names within the S&amp;P 500 index that have consistently delivered strong year-end performances: </p>
