Update: NYSE:GME shed a modest 0.28% on Thursday to close the day at $175.47 per share. Wall Street ended the month in a down note, as major indexes plummeted right after the opening. As the day went by, equities stabilized near intraday lows, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average shedding 546 points, the S&P500 losing 0.81% and the Nasdaq Composite ending the day 0.44% lower. The NYSE settled at 16,187, down 159 points or 0.97%.

NYSE:GME fell again on Wednesday and saw the same trading pattern as other meme stocks following a brief surge out of the opening bell. Shares of GME fell by 1.50% and closed the trading session at $175.92. Just as its meme stock counterparts like AMC (NYSE:AMC), ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH), and Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG), GameStop surged out of the open on Wednesday, but had erased any gains by the time the closing bell rang. It was a relatively flat day as the broader markets took a pause following the NASDAQ sell off from the day before. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 rebounded with small gains, while the NASDAQ fell once again and edged lower by 0.24% during the session.

The retail movement is definitely losing steam as the meme sector has been trading lower over the past few months. Meme stocks have been relatively quiet following the recent squeeze of AMC back in June. One new meme stock that has caught people’s attention is Camber Energy Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:CEI) which has soared higher by 116% over the past week of trading. Meme stock veterans like GameStop have actually shown stability over the past couple of quarters, as retail investors look to newer names to squeeze.

GME stock forecast

The holiday quarter is always one where retail companies traditionally do well, as do their stocks. Of course, the last couple of holiday seasons have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with stores closing during last year’s quarter. GameStop’s recent holiday quarters have been fairly disappointing, and a decline in the amount of video games being played won’t help matters for the company.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
