The strong risk rally of 2026 showed no sign of relenting yesterday, as markets continued to shrug off geopolitical developments.

Companies added 41,000 hires for the month, a reversal from the loss of 29,000 in November, providing a positive sign to a labor market that otherwise struggled as 2025 came to a close. Private company payrolls had declined in three of the four months prior to the December release. The final tally was slightly less than the consensus estimate for 48,000.
