According to @StockMKTNewz, there are no companies scheduled on the earnings calendar for this week (source: @StockMKTNewz, Dec 21, 2025). With earnings events absent, earnings-related single-stock gap risk is reduced and traders are likely to operate without company-specific catalysts this week (source: @StockMKTNewz). This setup encourages monitoring index levels, volatility, and cross-asset signals including crypto for directional cues, rather than earnings momentum strategies (source: @StockMKTNewz).

According to @business, US stocks stepped away from all-time highs as a quiet week began with traders looking for new catalysts to push the market further, as reported by @business.
