About the session
Market volatility was carried forward to the new year. The Fed signalled a slower easing pace, and the US dollar strength persisted. As Donald Trump soon begins his second term as the US President, his America-first policies and ongoing trade tariff negotiations continue to create uncertainty. These developments occur amidst unresolved geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which has dragged on for three years. Given these circumstances, what can we expect for global markets in 2025?
Prior to the US presidential inauguration, the Endowus Investment Office will review the markets in the fourth quarter, how our portfolios performed, and provide perspectives on the new year. Join Hugh Chung and Sean Hu from the Investment Office, as they discuss:
- Market review on major asset class returns in 2024
- How key Endowus Portfolios performed in the fourth quarter
- Trump 2.0 and geopolitics: What’s in store for 2025?
