December 21 - According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Aomori Prefecture, Japan, at approximately 10:29 a.m. local time on December 21. The maximum tremor was felt as a 4, and the epicenter was 50 kilometers deep.On December 21, the United States intercepted another oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, which the Venezuelan government called an act of piracy. Jeremy Paner, a partner at the Washington-based law firm Hughes Hubbard and a former investigator with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), said the ship was not subject to U.S. sanctions. “The seizure of a vessel not sanctioned by the United States marks a further increase in pressure on Venezuela by Trump,” Paner said. “This also contradicts Trump’s statements that the U.S. will blockade all sanctioned oil tankers.”On December 21, Venezuelan Vice President and Oil Minister Rodríguez condemned the United States for "theft and hijacking" of private vessels carrying Venezuelan oil in international waters on December 20. In a government statement released via social media, Rodríguez stated that this serious act of "piracy" violated international law. He asserted that the colonial model the US government attempted to impose on Venezuela would ultimately fail, and that the Venezuelan government would appeal to the UN Security Council and other multilateral organizations for appropriate action.On December 21, the World Trade Organization (WTO) released its "World Trade Report 2025" on December 20, local time.

Stocks decline before the weekend

As a result of the better-than-expected Unemployment Rate news, which showed that the Unemployment Rate decreased from 3.7% in August to 3.5% in September, the S&P 500 is down 2.5%.


Stock prices will decrease as a result of the Fed's increased hawkishness as a result of the unexpected decline in the unemployment rate.


While the majority of market categories are now under significant pressure, energy stocks have been moving higher as WTI oil prices have risen. Leading oil companies including ConocoPhillips, APA Corporation, and Halliburton are up more than 3% today.


One of the poorest performing sectors right now is technology. AMD, which is down 11% after its preliminary third-quarter earnings underperformed analyst expectations, is leading the sell-off.


Additional export restrictions placed on by the U.S. today to cut China off from important chips have increased pressure on semiconductor stock prices. Monolithic Power Systems, ON Semiconductor, and NVIDIA are all down between 6 and 8%.


Because traders try to reduce their risks before the weekend, there is a widespread sell-off. Because of the positive employment market statistics, Treasury rates may soon reach annual highs, which would be negative for equities.


Traders have to keep an eye on what's happening in the markets for European government debt. Yields are increasing alarmingly quickly in Europe, which might eventually result in a debt catastrophe. The S&P 500 may hit new lows as a result of the strong currency and serious issues in the European economy, which will harm profitability for American multinational corporations.
