December 26, 2023, the global financial markets showed a clear divergence pattern. The three major US stock indices experienced slight adjustments on the first trading day after Christmas, but weekly gains remained solid. The S&P 500 closed down 0.03% at 6929.94 points, with a weekly increase of 1.4%; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.04% to 48710.97 points, up 1.1% for the week; the Nasdaq declined 0.09% to 23593.10 points, with a weekly rise of 1.2%. The market risk sentiment indicator VIXY dipped slightly by 0.19% to 26.14, maintaining overall stability.

In the technology sector, there was a noticeable divergence. Tesla underperformed, dropping over 2%, while Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft all experienced small corrections, with declines ranging from 0.4% to 0.64%. Nvidia continued its upward momentum driven by AI chip benefits, rising over 1% against the trend, and Amazon saw a slight increase of 0.06%.

The most noteworthy performance was from Chinese concept stocks. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rose 0.72% to close at 7688.52 points, making Chinese-related assets a highlight in the global markets. XPeng Motors surged over 6%, NIO increased 4.1%, Li Auto rose 3.9%, Xiaomi gained 2.1%, and Alibaba increased 1.4%, forming a collective breakout.

The most eye-catching performance came from the precious metals market. Spot gold surged 1.12% in a single day, breaking through $4550 per ounce and hitting a record high, with a weekly increase of 4.44%. Spot silver performed even more astonishingly, soaring 10.24% in one day, breaking through the $79 mark, and skyrocketing 17.87% this week. The rally in the precious metals market reflects international capital rebalancing towards safe-haven assets.

In the current market environment, US stocks maintain a strong structural advantage, Chinese concept stocks are rising against the trend, and precious metals are climbing rapidly. This diversified market performance provides traders with abundant trading opportunities. In such a market landscape, grasping market rhythm and understanding the linkage between different sectors are crucial for long-term investment decisions.

ngl the whole "rich diversification opportunity" thing reads like cope... actually silver up 17% in a week? that's not market breadth, that's capital fleeing the room. learned this the hard way during 2023 — when boomers start stacking precious metals en masse, something's definitely broken somewhere

What does it matter if gold breaks 4550? Silver is the real madness this wave, rising nearly 18% in a week... This is what safe-haven sentiment looks like, buddy. Chinese concept stocks are breaking out collectively, XPeng up 6%, NIO up 4%. This pace is way more exciting than US tech, isn't it? Tesla is still falling, while Nvidia is secretly laughing. Precious metals are on the rise again; previously, everyone was bearish... now they're eating their words. US stocks had a slight weekly correction and remain in the green. The divergence pattern is really obvious, and it's time to test your stock-picking skills.

Gold and silver surge, and I'm still calculating gas fees... My mentality is崩了 --- Chinese concept stocks are soaring collectively, but I'm stuck in the cross-chain bridge, this is my 2024 --- Silver rose 17.87% in a week, the gas fees I saved could buy a lonely...亏又省的宿命 --- Staying up at 2 a.m., watching precious metals soar, suddenly realizing why I have no money—it's all burned in gas wars --- Wake up, on-chain arbitrage opportunity with 0.3gwei can save 300 yuan, but slippage directly costs 500... this is me --- U.S. stocks are steady, Chinese concept stocks are soaring, and I'm torn between Arbitrum and Optimism about which chain to cross, my brain is really burnt

Xpeng and NIO are really fierce this time. What are the Chinese concept stocks playing at? Silver has risen 17%? Is this risk aversion sentiment a bit too strong... Tesla is still falling, but Nvidia is still doing well. This pattern really explains a lot. Gold has broken new highs. It feels like someone is bottom-fishing some big event. Is this small decline in US stocks called a correction? We're almost used to it. If Chinese concept stocks can continue like this, that would be great, but I still look at the precious metals' mood.

Chinese concept stocks are really crazy this time. XPeng directly soared over 6%, and gold and silver are even more outrageous. Is this the start of a risk-avoidance mode? I'm not surprised that gold hit a new high, but silver's surge of 17.87% is the real skill. It feels like big funds are reallocating. Tesla's performance is again disappointing. The gap between this car company and others is too wide; it can't compare to XPeng and NIO's popularity. What signals are behind this wave of precious metals? It always feels like a storm is brewing. NVIDIA is still the top trend. AI chips are really a cash cow, while other tech stocks are experiencing various pullbacks. The comeback of Chinese concept stocks finally belongs to the rhythm of being no longer suppressed.

Gold hits a new high again, this wave of risk aversion sentiment is really incredible, and silver's gains are even more outrageous... Chinese concept stocks collectively break out, is XPeng's 6% increase serious? The US stock market is still dithering, better to focus on precious metals and Chinese concept stocks, the opportunities are all here. Why did Tesla drop again? NVDA is dancing alone, this divergence is a bit ridiculous. Honestly, gold has already broken through 4550, is there still a ceiling ahead? Silver is up 17.87%, has this week's increase gone a bit overboard? The rhythm of Chinese concept stocks is pretty good, Alibaba and others are finally making some noise. In this wave of precious metals, do you feel risk-averse funds are bottom-fishing somewhere? The weekly line of US stocks is still positive, but today's small decline doesn't mean much; the key is the follow-up of Chinese concept stocks and metals. Xiaomi and Li Auto both rose, is Tesla the only one dragging behind?
