#数字资产市场动态 Holiday market trends are relatively weak, but precious metals are brewing big moves. Gold, silver, and platinum all hit record highs, and this rally has been ongoing since the end of the year. The problem is, with Christmas and New Year holidays coming one after another, global financial market liquidity has plummeted to a low point, and trading volume has almost evaporated. The real market movement might not pick up until the second week of January.

Here are some key dates to remember next week:
- **December 30th at 3:00 AM**: Federal Reserve releases the latest monetary policy meeting minutes, which is the main event
- **December 31st at 9:30 PM**: US initial jobless claims data (for the week ending December 27)
- **January 3rd at 10:45 PM**: US December S&P Global Manufacturing PMI final reading

The market cares so much about the Fed minutes mainly because it wants to glean two things: **when will interest rate cuts continue** and **the Fed’s true stance on inflation**. During the holidays, Fed officials and major central banks won’t make public statements, so these minutes carry even more weight. For blockchain investors, such policy signals often directly influence risk sentiment in the crypto market.
