On 16 December 2025 a market commentary highlighted a prevailing American β€œbad mood” and set out to reconcile two common approaches to equities: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. The core development is an explicit intention to show how the two methods can be combined in practice amid current negative sentiment in US markets. As the author puts it: "I write fairly often about so-called equity fundamentals. Virtually never about technical analysis and methods. Today I will briefly address how, in my view, the two can be fitted together." The note signals a concise examination rather than a deep methodological treatise, focusing on practical alignment of valuation-driven views with chart- and signal-based timing. Contextually, the piece responds to shifting sentiment in US markets and aims to offer a framework for investors who use fundamentals to set a long-term stance while relying on technicals for entries, exits and risk management. #markets #fundamentals #technicalanalysis #USmarkets #FiatNews
The US economy created roughly 64,000 jobs in November, a larger payroll gain than analysts had expected, the report released on December 16, 2025 shows. The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, also exceeding forecasters' estimates. The figures suggest continued job creation though at a modest pace, with the unemployment rate moving slightly higher than anticipated. The release did not include further breakdowns in this summary. Markets and policymakers will likely weigh the softer-than-expected labour-market details against recent inflation and growth data as they assess economic momentum going into 2026. #USJobs #Unemployment #LaborMarket #Economy #FiatNews
