On the last trading day of 2025, global stock markets rally to the biggest gain in six years

2 hours ago

December 31, 2025 — Global equities are on track for their largest annual gain in six years, fueled by Federal Reserve rate cuts and a surge in AI investments. With just one trading day remaining in 2025, the MSCI All Country World Index has climbed 21% this year. Asian stocks are poised for a third straight annual advance, set to notch their best performance since 2017. In 2025, shares rebounded from an April selloff triggered by Trump-era tariffs to hit record highs, supported by upbeat outlooks for economic growth, corporate earnings and loose monetary policy. However, heading into 2026, investors face elevated valuations, while policymakers are split on expanding further easing measures. Amanda Agati, chief investment officer at Panning Asset Management Group, said Tuesday: “For stocks to keep rallying next year, we need a dovish Fed.” Looking ahead to the new year, investors have reason to stay optimistic: Over the past decade, the MSCI global index has averaged a 1.4% gain in January, with gains in six of those years.

2026 Rate Cut Path Emerges as Key Variable for Crypto Market, Fed Disagreement Intensifying

**Dec 31 Update: Fed’s 2025 Rate Cuts Leave Rates at 18-Year High; 2026 Path Uncertain** The Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in 2025, pushing its benchmark rate to 3.5%-3.75%—still an 18-year high. Latest dot plot data shows officials deeply divided on 2026 policy: Views on zero, one, or two rate cuts are nearly evenly split, stoking rising market uncertainty. CME figures put January rate cut odds at just 20%, climbing to 45% in March. Most forecasts point to a 2026 cut (or only one). Analysts note: - If employment weakens and inflation stays controlled, 1-2 cuts could hit this year—benefiting risk assets. - If inflation rebounds, cuts paired with liquidity support (or a pause) would pressure stocks and crypto. Also critical for 2026 crypto: Powell steps down in May, with a potential dovish new Fed chair a key variable.

TRUMP Treasury Address Transfers 94 Million USDC to Coinbase, Funds Originated from Deployment Unilateral Liquidity Mining Rewards

As of December 31, per EmberCN monitoring, the deployment address for the meme token TRUMP (issued by Trump) has transferred 94 million USDC to Coinbase over the past three weeks. The USDC stemmed from the sale of TRUMP’s single-sided liquidity on Meteora—i.e., when providing liquidity, only TRUMP is deposited and automatically swapped for the paired stablecoin within a specified price range. EmberCN analysis notes that the primary cash-out method for both TRUMP and MELANIA involves single-sided liquidity sales, which ultimately convert to USDC flowing into Coinbase. This suggests a potential shared trading team behind the transactions.
