Market Review

 

Global markets ended the year on a constructive note, supported by easing inflation, resilient economic data, and dovish central bank signals. October saw risk assets buoyed by the US-China trade truce and solid earnings, while UK inflation surprised lower at 3.8%, triggering a gilt rally and reinforcing expectations for further Bank of England rate cuts. Eurozone inflation held near target, allowing the ECB to maintain its wait-and-see stance. Credit markets reflected a risk-on tone with sterling IG spreads tightening, despite surging US issuance linked to the AI boom.

 

November began with volatility as AI bubble concerns and a US government shutdown weighed on sentiment, but mid-month saw a sharp reversal as softer labour data and dovish Fed commentary drove repricing for a December cut, lifting risk assets. In the UK, the Autumn Budget passed with a fairly muted reaction and failed to turn into the negative risk event many had feared, as the announcement of larger than expected fiscal headroom reinforced investor confidence.
