The S&P 500 advanced 0.5% to 6,909.79, while the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also traded higher, rising 79 points or 0.2%.
Investor sentiment was boosted by stronger-than-expected economic data. U.S. Q3 GDP expanded at an annualized rate of 4.3%, accelerating from 3.8% in the previous quarter and comfortably exceeding the 3.3% consensus estimate. Looking ahead, markets are closely monitoring developments around the Federal Reserve’s leadership transition, which could provide fresh clues on the policy outlook for the coming year.

Indian Markets: Previous Session Recap
Indian equity benchmarks ended nearly flat after a volatile trading session on December 3, with weekly F&O expiry contributing to sharp intraday swings.
While signs of improving domestic demand offered some support, uncertainty around global trade negotiations and the rupee’s movement continued to weigh on sentiment.
At the close:
Sensex declined 42.64 points (0.05%) to 85,524.84
Nifty edged up 4.75 points (0.02%) to 26,177.15
The midcap index ended flat, while the small-cap index gained 0.37%.
Sectoral performance was mixed:
IT, healthcare, PSU banks and realty declined 0.2–0.8%
Media stocks gained 0.6%
Metals and PSU stocks rose about 0.5% each
Energy index advanced 0.6%
Technically, the Nifty formed a high-wave candle with a higher high and higher low, indicating consolidation with a positive bias amid stock-specific action.
The index has extended its upward trajectory for the fourth consecutive session. In the absence of reversal signals, Nifty is likely to drift toward the upper band of its three-week consolidation range near 26,300.
A decisive close above 26,300 could open the door for further upside toward the 26,500 zone. On the downside, immediate support is seen near the gap-up area around 26,000, with broader short-term support placed at 25,700–25,800.
