Major indices rallied on Wednesday after December inflation data showed underlying price pressures slowing, reducing fears of a prolonged pause in interest rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">by the Federal Reserve. </a>
The headline Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year-over-year in December, up from November's 2.7%, matching economist forecasts. On a monthly basis, headline inflation increased 0.4%, accelerating from the 0.3% surge in November and marking the largest monthly rise since March 2024.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 3.2% year-over-year, slightly below the expected 3.3%. Month-over-month, core prices gained 0.2%, in line with forecasts.

Shares of insurance stocks are trading lower amid California wildfires.

The stock market has a well-documented tendency to deliver gains during the final trading days of December, a phenomenon known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42667439/us-stocks-to-open-higher-on-shortened-trading-day-as-santa-clause-rally-period-begins-says-analyst">as the &#8220;Santa Claus rally.&#8221; </a>
This period of optimism has historically brought cheer to investors, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining in 64 out of the last 96 years during the Dec. 24–Dec. 31 window, averaging a respectable 0.85% return, according to data from Seasonax.
The Santa Claus rally's most memorable performance occurred in 2018, when the S&amp;P 500 surged 6.6%, its strongest year-end rally on record. Close on its heels was 1933, which delivered a 5.5% rally.
On the flip side, 1937 and 2000 stand out as exceptions, with losses of 4.6% and 2.4%, respectively, over the same period.
The pattern holds true even during election years, offering hope to traders as 2024 wraps up. In the past 24 election years, the S&amp;P 500 has posted gains in 15 instances, averaging a modest 0.7% return. Notable rallies occurred in 2008, with a 4% rise, and in 1928, when the index climbed 3.4%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10 Santa Rally Hyper Responders</h3>
For traders looking to capitalize on this seasonal tailwind, certain stocks have consistently outperformed during the Santa Claus rally window.
Here are 10 notable S&amp;P 500 stocks that have historically shone between Dec. 24 and Dec. 31 over the last 20 years:
