"Global markets delivered strong Q3 2025 gains driven by the AI boom, solid earnings, and Fed rate cuts. Technology sectors led performance with record Nasdaq highs."
Executive Summary
Global financial markets posted strong gains in Q3 2025, driven by robust artificial intelligence demand, solid corporate earnings, and a well-anticipated Federal Reserve rate cut. The AI boom continued to fuel technology sector outperformance, with the Nasdaq reaching record highs and Asian markets like Taiwan and Korea benefiting from AI-related demand. The Fed delivered a 25 basis point rate cut to 4.0%-4.25% in September, supporting market sentiment alongside expectations for additional cuts. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets, aided by a weaker US dollar and progress on US-China trade talks. Digital assets staged a strong rebound with Bitcoin reaching new highs and Ethereum surging on regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act. Precious metals experienced record-breaking rallies in gold and silver. However, elevated stock valuations, persistent inflation, and ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to present potential challenges. Credit markets performed well with spreads tightening to multi-decade levels, while government bond performance was mixed across regions as central banks navigated different policy paths.
