Global Markets Show an Uncertain Course for 2026

Global Markets Closing 2025 on an Uncertain Note

SINGAPORE, November 20, 2025 – Global markets are closing 2025 on an uncertain note, characterized by rapid reversals and a complex investor sentiment. Policy changes, geopolitical events, and AI-driven rallies have disrupted traditional market patterns, resulting in a challenging year for experienced investors. TradingKey emphasizes the increasing importance of data-driven strategies as investors adapt to 2026.

The United States has experienced one of its most volatile periods in recent years. Following a sharp correction in April due to tariffs reinstated by President Donald Trump, a rapid recovery was seen, fueled by AI-backed technology stocks. Giants like Nvidia, Google, and Tesla each achieved gains of over 100%, driving indexes to record levels, but this situation concentrated risk within a narrow segment of the market.

TradingKey predicts that 2026 will be a year of cautious optimism. As investors weigh opportunities against fluctuations, the International Monetary Fund projects global growth will slow from 3.3% in 2024 to 3.1% in 2026. This indicates a more balanced yet weaker expansion. Although Federal Reserve interest rate cuts may provide temporary relief, geopolitical tensions, trade challenges, and speculation around AI valuations are expected to increase uncertainty.

TradingKey CEO Yeap Ming Feng emphasized that the coming year will require a shift in investor mindset. "The era of stable and predictable market gains is over. Today's investors must combine macro forces, fundamental elements, and sentiments to see the whole story behind a stock. However, analyzing data is costly, complex, and time-consuming," he stated.

Feng added, "TradingKey developed the Stock Score system to address this issue. This system evaluates over 34 signals and is shaped by experienced analysts. It provides insights built on quantitative robustness and real-world judgments."

Over 110,000 investors worldwide trust the TradingKey platform monthly. Launched in September 2025, the Stock Score system empowers retail investors with access to Wall Street-level analyses and real-time stock evaluations, supporting informed and secure decision-making.
