Investors face a volatile 2025 as lingering inflation, unpredictable Fed policy, and uncertainty over President Trump’s economic agenda cloud market outlooks. While equity markets remain buoyed by tech earnings and AI optimism, concerns over overvaluation persist. Bond markets, vulnerable to inflation or potential Fed rate hikes, could repeat 2022’s dual stock-bond decline. Trump's potential policy moves, from tariffs to deregulation, add further unpredictability, compounded by his market-moving social media posts. Amid the risks, safe havens like gold are gaining traction, urging investors to remain cautious and diversified as markets navigate uncharted waters.
