Global Equity Markets: 2025 Outlook
Global equities have demonstrated resilience in 2025, driven by moderating inflation and the prospect of a more accommodative monetary policy environment. Technology-heavy indices have led the advance, while European markets have faced headwinds from structural economic challenges.
Emerging market equities have attracted renewed inflows as investors seek higher-yielding opportunities and benefit from a stabilising US dollar. Key risk factors include geopolitical tensions, trade policy uncertainty, and the pace of central bank easing cycles.
Analysts project mid-single-digit equity returns for developed markets in 2025, with emerging markets potentially offering higher upside given attractive valuations relative to historical averages.
