Viewpoint: Multiple macro and regulatory events in early 2026 may become key market catalysts
BlockBeats News, December 30, Jake O, Head of OTC Trading at Wintermute, posted that "It is hard to imagine significant market volatility this week. Most institutional trading desks will remain on the sidelines until after January 1. When the new year begins, traders will re-enter the market with a 'clean slate' and focus their attention on a series of catalysts. The start of 2026 will see:
· Announcement of the Federal Reserve Chair nominee (expected) · Supreme Court ruling on tariff issues (expected)
· The 'Clarity Act' bill entering the amendment/review stage (expected)
· Updates to Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) regulatory requirements
· Decision on whether MSCI will include crypto-related stock indices (15th)
· FOMC interest rate meeting (28th)
· U.S. government funding deadline (30th)
All of this will happen after the end of tax loss selling (narrative), large-scale options expirations, and the accumulation of bearish positions."
