The bulls too have been more or less back in business over the past couple of weeks. They will hope to be at peace during the Christmas week. But Asian markets are pretty mixed this morning. US stock benchmarks too ended mixed on Friday while European markets declined marginally. The start today may be flat at best. Wild swings will be the order of this week due to derivative settlement and lower volume.
US market may also turn more volatile as many market participants may choose to extend their Christmas holidays. US markets will close early on Wednesday and will remain closed on Thursday. Financial markets across the globe may witness less trading activity this week. The Indian markets too will remain shut on Thursday.
