Market Review
US:
Wall Street indexes closed lower on Wednesday, echoing their world counterparts amid light trading on the last day of 2025. The three major U.S. stock indexes ended well in negative territory, content to drift along just below record highs and bask in robust, double-digit annual gains.
Asia:
Asian markets were shut today on account on New Year holiday.
India:
The Indian equity markets finished the final trading session of 2025 (first day of January series), on a strong note with Nifty comfortably closing above 26,100. The rally was broad-based and led by sectors such as metal, PSU Bank, oil & gas, while the IT sector lagged behind. Market is is expected to open on a positive note and likely to witness positive move during the day.
Global economy:
South Korea’s exports rose in December for a seventh consecutive month and wrapped 2025 at a record as exports have surpassed $700 Bn for the first time. Exports from Asia’s fourth-largest economy, a bellwether for global trade, rose 13.4% in December to $69.58 Bn, trade data showed, beating a median 9.0% increase tipped in a Reuters poll of economists.
In a surprising turn of events, the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories report showed a decline in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The actual number came in at -1.934 million barrels, a significant drop that surpassed both the forecasted and previous numbers.
Eligible financial firms borrowed a record amount of cash from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Standing Repo Facility Wednesday, as banks and others managed liquidity needs on the final trading day of 2025.
Commodities:
Crude oil market heads into 2026 after a challenging 2025, with prices falling over 17 per cent as rising supply, easing geopolitical risk premiums, and uneven demand weighed heavily on sentiment.
Gold and silver prices are set for further gains into 2026. Experts predict a continued upward trend for both precious metals. Silver is expected to show stronger performance than gold. Investors should anticipate market fluctuations. The rally that began last year is anticipated to persist. This outlook is based on strong market fundamentals.
Currency:
The dollar ended 2025 with the sharpest annual retreat in eight years and investors say more declines are coming if the next Federal Reserve chief opts for deeper interest-rate cuts as anticipated.
