Wall Street ended higher on Friday as investors digested the December jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 50,000, missing expectations, while the unemployment rate edged down to 4.4%, signalling a steady but slow-growing labour market. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ gained 0.6%, and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ rose 0.5%, both hitting new record highs. The $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ advanced 1.02%, closing just below its October 29 record of 26,119, a key resistance level. A decisive break above this level could open the door for further upside momentum, while failure to clear it may trigger short-term consolidation. Chipmakers led gains, with

$S&P 500(.SPX)$  A strong January does tilt probabilities in favour of a constructive 2026, but the path is unlikely to be linear. U.S. equities: Double-digit gains remain plausible, though harder than in prior years. Valuations are elevated, so returns will depend more on earnings delivery than multiple expansion. Expect higher volatility and sharper rotations rather than a broad, smooth rally. Relative performance: The U.S. may outperform on absolute earnings quality, but could lag selectively versus parts of Asia and Europe where valuations are lower and policy cycles are more accommodative. Leadership may narrow rather than broaden. AI leadership rotation: Near term, memory and infrastructure stocks benefit from capacity tightness and

From my perspective, the strong January start in 2026 is an encouraging signal, but not a guarantee. The "January effect" works more as a sentiment and momentum indicator than a forecasting tool. A positive January usually tells me risk appetite is alive and liquidity conditions are supportive, yet the real determinant for the rest of the year will still be earnings delivery and macro stability, not seasonality alone. For U.S. equities, I don't automatically assume another straight-line double-digit rally. Valuations are no longer cheap, especially for mega-cap tech, and the market has already priced in a lot of optimism around AI, rate cuts, and soft-landing narratives. I think the U.S. can still post positive returns in 2026, but the path is likely to be more volatile and more selective

Usual to expect pullback after hit high and think overall still bullish.

With QE, or whatever you wish to call money injected into the economy, will create further pressure on inflation and potential rate cuts there is the likelihood of a strong 2026.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ The bulls are charging hard into 2026!

History shows when January wraps up green, the S&P 500 climbs higher 89% of the time, dishing out average gains of 17% with drawdowns averaging just 10.5%. Flip that to a red January, and returns tank to -1.8% on average, with only a 50/50 shot at positivity and steeper drops.

The Gambler’s FallacyThe $S&P 500(.SPX)$ delivered gains of 26% in 2023, 25% in 2024, and 18% in 2025. After such a strong run, it is natural for investors to expect weaker returns in 2026. This mindset reflects the classic gambler’s fallacy—the belief that strong past performance must be followed by mean reversion.At this stage of the cycle, bearish arguments also tend to sound more persuasive, and investor sentiment often turns cautious. However, the bull market has continued to show resilience.

I have always believed that Occidental Petroleum—Oxy—has been undervalued, but that belief did not come from a spreadsheet or a model alone. It grew slowly, the way convictions often do, through observation, patience, and a little bit of frustration. Yesterday was one of those days that made that belief feel especially vivid. Occidental (OXY) I was watching the market the way I often do—half out of habit, half out of hope. The earlier part of the day had that familiar energy: oil stocks were green across the board, lifted by headlines about Venezuela. News like that tends to ripple quickly through the energy sector, and sure enough, the usual names were moving. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Hal
