flag U.S. stocks ended 2025 with small gains, fueled by seasonal trends, as markets prepare for a holiday-shortened week.

flag U.S. stock futures were nearly flat Sunday as markets closed the 2025 year with modest gains, ending a five-day winning streak. flag The S&P 500 rose 1.4% for the week, with all three major indices posting gains, setting up a potential third straight year of double-digit returns. flag Silver hit a record high, gold and crude oil advanced, and Bitcoin held above $88,000. flag Analysts attribute the rally largely to seasonal patterns like the "Santa Claus rally" and market positioning rather than strong underlying momentum. flag Markets will be closed Thursday for New Year’s Day, with bond trading ending early Wednesday.
