1) Global Economic Overview of 2025

This section provides a comprehensive review of how major economies performed throughout the year.
It compares:

• the U.S. economy with its strong labor market and slower-than-expected disinflation,
• Europe’s struggle with low growth and persistent inflation,
• Japan’s historic shift away from near-zero interest rates,

2) Global Equities – From Early-Year Optimism to Late-Year Realism

Here, the magazine examines the evolution of equity markets in the U.S. and Asia.
The year began with strong optimism fueled by AI-driven innovation, but gradually shifted toward a more cautious and valuation-focused approach as investors reassessed earnings quality and macro risks.

3) Energy & Commodities in 2025

This section outlines the major developments in oil, gas, precious metals, and industrial commodities.
It explores:

• fluctuations in oil prices influenced by China’s storage levels,
• the restructuring of global gas markets through expanding LNG flows,
• the renewed safe-haven appeal of gold,
• and rising demand for industrial metals across emerging economies.

4) Cryptocurrencies – The Rise of Institutional Participation

The magazine reviews the maturing structure of the crypto market in 2025.
It highlights how institutional investors, crypto-backed ETFs, and deeper integration between blockchain and the real economy have transformed digital assets into a meaningful component of the future financial ecosystem.

5) Outlook for 2026 – Three Themes to Watch

The December issue concludes by identifying three key themes that could define market behavior in 2026:

1. A gradual convergence of major central banks’ monetary policies
