Quick Take

"Q3 2025 delivered broad-based global market gains driven by AI optimism, Fed rate cuts, and easing trade tensions. Growth outperformed value amid continued technology enthusiasm."

Executive Summary

Global markets delivered strong performance in Q3 2025, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recording their best third quarter since 2020. The gains were driven by AI optimism, solid corporate earnings, and the Fed's September rate cut with expectations of further easing. While US equities outperformed other developed markets, emerging markets posted double-digit gains on hopes for improved US-China relations. Growth stocks continued to outperform value, fueled by AI-related themes, though stretched valuations became a concern. Central bank divergence emerged with the Fed cutting rates while the ECB held steady. Trade tensions eased during the quarter but fresh uncertainties arose from Trump's tariff threats over China's rare earth controls. The US government shutdown added uncertainty. Despite credit quality concerns in private markets and increased Q4 volatility, no systemic risks are evident. The long-term outlook remains constructive with anticipated rate cuts, resilient earnings, and accommodative fiscal policies providing a solid backdrop for 2026.
