Consumer Confidence Collapses, AI Stocks Slip & Yields Spike | Macro Mondays
Monday, 8 December, 2025
In this week’s final Macro Mondays of the year, Lisa Aziz joins James Brodie and Ed Hayden-Briffett to break down the shifting dynamics behind market sentiment before the show returns on January 12th. Weakening consumer confidence, falling engagement with political headlines, and growing uncertainty are reshaping trading behaviour. Markets have become far less reactive to rapid-fire news flow, while sentiment indicators show a steady cooling in risk appetite.The team breaks down how choppy pricing, tightening margins, and fluctuating demand have defined the year so far. They also explore why AI-linked equities remain volatile, how bond yields are spiking, and which sectors are seeing stronger momentum heading into early 2026. Key highlights include:✅ Market fatigue dominates Q3 trading✅ Trump social media engagement halves from Q1 to Q3✅ Average shares, likes and replies drop sharply across the board✅ Political headlines lose pricing power across major asset classes✅ Traders increasingly hedge rather than take directional bets✅ Lower volatility around US political risk vs previous years✅ Shifts in intraday flows show reduced reaction to macro news✅ Market pricing stabilises despite inconsistent political messaging 📊 Key Data Releases This Week:📅 Monday - US Consumer Inflation Expectations📅 Tuesday - UK Retail Sales, RBA Rate Decision, US ADP📅 Wednesday - China Inflation, FOMC Rate Decision📅 Thursday - SNB Rate Decision📅 Friday - UK GDP & IP ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Introduction and Overview01:37 – U.S. PMI Mixed - Manufacturing Weaker, Services Stronger03:33 – U.S. Retail Sales (Black Friday) 04:30 – U.S. Consumer Confidence Lowest in 100 Years05:54 – U.S. Weak Employment Data04:05 – What Reduced Sensitivity Means for Traders05:54 – U.S. Weak Employment Data07:40 – UK Construction Plummets09:56 – S&P EYES $6,920 Resistance12:46 – Equity Analysts Predict Strong 202613:15 – NASDAQ Resistance 24,00013:40 – Currencies Overview14:42 – Commodities (Metals) Overview16:48 – Brent Rangebound19:46 – Energy Markets Overview with Jorge Montepeque21:30 – Bitcoin & Crypto Crash 23:07 – Palantir Hedges with Gold Bars24:00 – OIS Pricing26:00 – Key Data Releases & Final Thoughts 📖 Learn directly from James Brodie at Flux Institute:https://fluxinstitute.flux.live 📲 Follow us:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/flux_energyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCmyBe-R7Do6ZGWLyaStSosgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fluxinstituteX (Twitter): https://x.com/FluxEnergyNewsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flux_energy_markets #MacroMondays #Markets #Trading #PoliticalRisk #Hedging #Volatility #TruthSocial #Trump #Q3Trading #InvestorBehaviour #MarketFatigue #Finance #Macro #Economy #GlobalMarkets #RiskManagement #Stocks #AI
