The most certain thing in the market next year is that volatility will increase, in addition to Trump's policies and the Fed's slowing rate cuts, there is another thing to pay attention to, which is the composition of the Federal Reserve Committee. Bloomberg pointed out that next year, members of the committee may have greater disagreements in their votes than this year.
Every year, the Federal Open Market Committee FOMC of the Federal Reserve rotates. In 2025, Collins of the Boston Fed, Musaileyumma of the St. Louis Fed, Schmitz of the Kansas City Fed, and Goolsbee of the Chicago Fed will become rotating voters. According to the evaluation of InTouch Capital Markets, Goolsbee is the most dovish, while Schmitz and Musaileyumma are quite hawkish. Bloomberg's Anna Wong's team pointed out that according to their analysis, the views between the voters in 2025 will be more polarized, with fewer tending towards the center, so Powell's unifying work will be more difficult, and it is expected that next year the Fed will also have more uncertainty and more disagreements in voting.
Bloomberg pointed out that the current Federal Reserve is in a more uncertain environment. Although inflation has declined significantly, it still remains above the Fed's target, and there will be various policy impacts from Trump in the future. The neutral interest rate is also uncertain, so officials do not know whether a rate cut will be needed in the future, and if so, how much it should be cut to prevent the previous anti-inflation efforts from being in vain. This, coupled with a more diversified committee, will undoubtedly make it more difficult to determine the Fed's actions next year.

The lawsuit between chip companies Qualcomm and ARM has come to a conclusion, with Qualcomm winning the case and being able to continue selling chips based on the ARM architecture. In October, ARM revoked a crucial license from Qualcomm, leading to lawsuits between the two companies. The core of the lawsuit revolves around a company called Nuvia, which had acquired a license from ARM before being bought by Qualcomm. In theory, this usage right should now belong to Qualcomm. However, ARM disputes this claim, stating that it violates the contract and that Qualcomm must renegotiate. Furthermore, ARM also insists that the chip designs from before Nuvia's acquisition must be destroyed and not used by Qualcomm. These chips are crucial, widely used in products such as Microsoft's Surface computers.
However, in Qualcomm's victorious lawsuit this time, there remains an unresolved question of whether Nuvia violated the contract before the acquisition. This aspect is still pending, indicating that there may still be variables in the case, and ARM could potentially use this as a point to challenge the ruling.
