Risk-on assets gained attention as the market prepares for the Christmas trading week, with U.S. stocks set to close early on Wednesday and be closed on Thursday.

Key events include Tuesday’s U.S. Q3 GDP, PCE, and core PCE, along with the Bank of Canada’s policy minutes on Wednesday. Japan’s Kuroda speaks on Thursday.
