Your daily horoscope: March 16, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You can sense it is time for a change and you can also sense that it must be a big one. Too often in the past you have made half-hearted efforts to improve your existence but over the coming year only a real transformation will do. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Be ruthless with yourself over the next few days. Get rid of all those things you no longer need － some of which you never needed － and start with a clean slate when the sun enters your sign on Friday. If not now, then when? TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You will have to make an important decision today based on information you are not entirely sure can be trusted.

Stock Market Edges Higher Ahead of Christmas Break

                                          

US stocks looked set for a mostly muted open to a final, shortened trading session before the Christmas holiday. Futures tied to the S&P 500 (ES=F) were up 0.1%, while those on the tech-heavy Nasdaq (NQ=F) rose 0.2%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) hugged the flatline.

Wall Street is looking to enter its Christmas break rejuvenated, after tech stocks including AI chip giant Nvidia (NVDA) led the march higher on Monday. Markets close at 1 p.m. ET today and are off tomorrow for Christmas Day. Sizable gains on Friday and Monday have put the indexes back on the path toward their record highs, from which they took a Fed-fueled nosedive last week.

Wall Street is reassessing the path of interest rates next year as it grapples with the reality that the Fed mostly pulled off a so-called soft landing – but couldn’t fully shake the US economy’s inflation problem. According to the CME FedWatch tool, most bets are on two coming holds at the Fed’s January and March meetings, followed by a toss-up in May.

Meanwhile, many eyes continue to be trained on Nvidia, which saw a more than 3.5% gain on Monday. As Yahoo Finance’s Dan Howley writes, 2024 was Nvidia’s year, with the stock up some 180%. But 2025 could contain plenty of challenges.
