"Global markets surged in Q3 2025 on AI optimism and Fed rate cuts, with US indices posting best quarter since 2020. Emerging markets outperformed on improved China relations."
Executive Summary
Global markets delivered strong performance in Q3 2025, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posting their best third quarter since 2020. The rally was driven by continued AI enthusiasm, solid corporate earnings, and the Federal Reserve's September rate cut. Growth stocks outperformed value while emerging markets posted double-digit gains on hopes for improved US-China relations. Central bank policies diverged, with the Fed cutting rates while the ECB held steady and the Bank of England implemented its first cut since 2020. Fixed income performance was mixed, with US Treasury yields ending lower while UK and German yields rose. Trade tensions eased mid-quarter but fresh tariff threats emerged. The ongoing US government shutdown adds uncertainty. While parts of the equity market appear expensive and credit quality concerns have emerged in private markets, no systemic risk is indicated. The long-term outlook remains constructive supported by anticipated Fed easing, resilient earnings growth, and accommodative fiscal policies heading into 2026.
