A well-oriented indicator a few days before Christmas

Chart of the week

Each year, the end of December is characterized by its festivities. These have the tendency to replace, briefly, discussions about central bank policies, rising inflation or the current trend in financial markets. Despite a health context that remains at the center of our concerns at the end of this year, a cheerful mood should prevail in the coming days.

OUR ANALYSIS

This representation shows a peak of happiness around December 25th. This day often corresponds to the opening of gifts, bringing joy to the young and old alike. The event, like New Year’s Eve, is an opportunity to send wishes for happiness and good health to one’s loved ones, and Lazard Frères Gestion joins in wishing all its readers an excellent holiday season.
