In 2025, global uncertainty was everywhere. Ongoing geopolitical conflict, economic tension, and the return of Donald Trump to the U.S. political spotlight added noise to already cautious financial markets.

From market shifts to moments of resilience, this blog looks back on 2025 and sets the stage for what’s next.
