U.S. stocks are down slightly ahead of Monday's opening bell. Interest-rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and several other key central banks are likely to be the dominant driver this week. The Consumer Price Index is scheduled to be released tomorrow, which will give another update on the fight against inflation ahead of Wednesday's Fed meeting. The Dow Jones is up 0.01%, the S&P is down 0.04%, and the Nasdaq is down 0.12%.

Market Review
(Compliments of "The Street Sheet")
"Happy Sunday to everyone on The Street.
The 2023 IPO market was officially a snoozefest. We've seen just 106 companies awkwardly shuffle into the public markets, scraping together just $19.4 billion, per Renaissance Capital's tally. This follows 2022's less-than-stellar showing where a paltry $7.7 billion was raised, making it one of the IPO market's least memorable years.
In a typical year, Wall Street expects at least $50 billion to be raised. With the S&P 500 up nearly 20%, you'd think companies would be lining up to make their debut. But as we’ve seen that’s simply not the case.
The last noteworthy IPO was Birkenstock's debut back on October 10th. Since then? It's been tumbleweeds and crickets in IPO land. Below is a live look at all the first and second-year investment banking analysts who thought they would be working on deals the past two years.
The U.S. stock market managed to close its sixth straight week of gains, with the S&P 500 Index closing the week at its highest level since January 2022.
Market sentiment continues to be shaped by the anticipation of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2024. Yet the euphoria surrounding these rate cuts was slightly dampened on Friday by a stronger-than-expected labor market report and an unexpected surge in the University of Michigan consumer sentiment for December.
Investors now eagerly await the release of November’s inflation data on Tuesday next week and the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday.
The best-performing sector of the week was consumer discretionary, driven by rallies in travel-related stocks like Carnival Corp, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
The worst-performing sector was energy, as oil recorded its fifth consecutive week in the red, the worst streak in five years.
Meanwhile, Google introduced Gemini, aiming to outshine OpenAI’s ChatGPT. TikTok parent ByteDance is ready to unveil an AI model that could be even more powerful, intensifying the AI technology race.
Apple plans a significant leap in battery performance for the iPhone SE 4, potentially increasing battery capacity by 60%, driven by advanced technology and design enhancements.
The highly anticipated trailer for Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6 smashed viewing records, achieving over 108 million views within 48 hours, surpassing its predecessors and showcasing the game’s massive popularity.
Lastly, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon spoke in favor of a halt to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry, triggering a wave of varied reactions and discussions across social media platforms. Dimon’s remarks came after the cryptocurrency reached $44,000 and a total market value of over $860 billion this week."
