It's the holiday season, but the stock market's festivities have been anything but cheerful this week.
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>.
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.
Yet, just as traders were preparing for a festive year-end bull run, the Grinch arrived midweek to throw a wrench in the celebrations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Grinch Steals The Show</h3>
Wednesday marked a dramatic turn of events as the Federal Reserve's hawkish tone sent shockwaves through the markets. 
Chair Jerome Powell 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. 
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.
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. 
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.
Hopes for a Santa Rally seemed to crumble as the Grinch stole the show. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Christmas Miracle?</h3>
Just when it seemed all was lost, Friday brought a glimmer of hope—the kind of plot twist only a Christmas story could deliver. 
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%.
This softer-than-expected inflation print was the equivalent to finding a shiny new toy under the tree.
Risk appetite rebounded swiftly, with traders rushing to scoop up the stocks battered during the week's earlier sell-off. 
Sentiment brightened, and with it, the Santa Rally narrative began to regain momentum.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Santa Rally And Its Legacy</h3>
The stock market has a long-standing tendency to rally during the last trading days of December. 
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.
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.
With six trading days left in 2024, traders may still have time to save the Santa Rally.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10 Stocks To Watch For Year-End Gains</h3>
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:

Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

The Santa Rally refers to a seasonal stock market trend where equities historically see stronger gains during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269611/dollar-enters-its-most-bearish-month-of-the-year-could-december-2024-be-any-different">final stretch of December. </a>
This phenomenon, often fueled by holiday cheer, year-end portfolio rebalancing, and investor optimism, has been a recurring pattern for decades.
 But what makes December stand out, and which stocks have historically outperformed during this period? 
Let's dig into the numbers.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">December: A Seasonal Sweet Spot For Stocks</h3>
After a strong rally in November, with the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – rallying 6%, &#8220;momentum could continue for stocks as historically it has been a good month for stock market seasonals,&#8221; said George Smith, portfolio strategist at LPL Financials. 
Since 1950, December ranks as the second-best month for the S&amp;P 500, delivering an average return of 1.6%. Only November performs better, with a historical average of 1.8%. 
Smith also highlighted that the second half of December has typically delivered the lion's share of these gains, generating the so-called &#8220;Santa Rally&#8221; effect. 
Historically, stocks tend to stall or even decline slightly during the first half of the month before momentum builds around mid-December. Data suggests that the upward trajectory starts gaining steam near the 11th trading day of the month and accelerates as Christmas approaches.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top 10 S&amp;P 500 Stocks With Strong Christmas Seasonality</h3>
For investors looking to capitalize on the Santa Rally, certain stocks have a history of delivering outsized gains in the back half of December. 
Looking back at the last 20 years of data, here are the top 10 S&amp;P 500 stocks that have historically shown the strongest average returns between Dec. 12 and Dec. 31:

During the third quarter, Morgan Stanley decreased its investment in MARA. The bank sold 5.35 million shares, representing a 48% reduction in its holdings. As a result, Morgan Stanley now owns 5.82 million shares of MARA, valued at $94.41 million.
Susquehanna International Group and Jane Street Group also cut their position in the company by 44% and 80%, respectively.
Price Action: Shares of MARA Holdings closed 6.53% lower at $25.63 per share on Monday as compared to a 1.12% advance in the Nasdaq 100 Index. It further fell by 1.09% to $25.35 apiece in after-hours.

Charles Schwab, Goldman Sachs Boosts MARA Stake As Stock Rallies 30% In Past 6 Months: Morgan Stanley, Other Major Funds Trim Positions In Q3

Trian Fund Management, the hedge fund led by Nelson Peltz, disclosed substantial portfolio changes in its third-quarter 13F filing, making notable exits from major companies before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">2024 U.S. presidential election</a>. 
What Happened: The fund sold off its entire stakes in GE HealthCare Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NASDAQ">GEHC</a>) (1.34 million shares), Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) (2.65 million shares) and Rentokil Initial plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTO#NYSE">RTO</a>) (470,000 shares). 
These exits suggest a cautious pivot from sectors like healthcare and entertainment, which face both market challenges and macroeconomic pressures.
Trian also reduced its stakes in several core holdings. The fund cut its position in Wendy&#8217;s Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEN#NASDAQ">WEN</a>) by 3%, reducing its shares from 31.5 million to 30.5 million, and scaled down its investment in asset manager Invesco Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVZ#NYSE">IVZ</a>) by 15%, from 27.2 million to 23.1 million shares.

The most substantial reduction came in Allstate Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>), where Trian slashed its holdings by 69%, to 613,447 shares. These reductions reflect a strategic tightening in sectors affected by recent market volatility and economic uncertainty.
What Else: However, Trian strengthened its position in select companies, raising its stake in Solventum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOLV#NYSE">SOLV</a>) from 5.36 million to 7.13 million shares, and held its positions steady in Janus Henderson Group PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHG#NYSE">JHG</a>) and General Electric Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) as its top holdings.
This targeted increase aligns with Trian's confidence in sectors that may benefit from potential industrial and financial sector growth.
Soon after Trian's portfolio moves in the third quarter, Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election was confirmed, along with a Republican majority in the Senate.
Trump's policy agenda, which includes corporate tax cuts, increased tariffs and a potential rollback of green energy initiatives, is expected to significantly impact markets. 
Sectors like traditional manufacturing, defense and energy may see gains under Trump's administration, aligning with Trian's portfolio shifts, especially in industrial and financial investments.
Trian's recent moves highlight a forward-looking strategy as the hedge fund prepares for an evolving economic landscape shaped by Trump's return to the White House.
