Source: Weekly market wrap (2025-11-22)

This week’s market update from Edward Jones highlights a year of remarkable gains and resilience in global equities, despite ongoing skepticism and economic uncertainties. The TSX is on track for its best year since 2009, with a strong 15% rise in the S&P 500, marking three consecutive years of double-digit returns. Overseas markets, particularly the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.), have surged 23%, benefiting from a weaker U.S. dollar and improving global growth prospects. Notably, the year has seen a near-bear market correction in April, yet investors who maintained their course have been rewarded. Beyond these gains, recent developments include a fading recession threat, driven by resilient U.S. economic data, a robust labor market, and easing inflation pressures. Additionally, technological innovation continues to propel growth, with AI and green energy sectors leading the charge. Central banks are cautiously easing monetary policies, supporting continued market momentum, while geopolitical stability in key regions has improved, reducing global risk premiums. Furthermore, the rise of sustainable investing and ESG-focused funds has gained momentum, attracting a new wave of investors committed to responsible growth. As we approach year-end, experts emphasize the importance of diversification and long-term planning, especially amid persistent policy shifts and global uncertainties. This comprehensive outlook underscores the importance of staying informed and adaptable in navigating 2025’s dynamic investment landscape, ensuring investors can capitalize on opportunities while managing risks effectively.
