Alpari Outlines Global Market Forecast for 2025
Alpari has recently released its global market outlook for 2025, offering valuable insights into various asset classes and market drivers for the upcoming year. The report delves into potential trends in major currencies, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies amidst significant political and economic shifts.
Despite geopolitical tensions and central bank policy changes in 2024, global markets saw record highs in U.S. stock indices, gold, and Bitcoin. Looking ahead to 2025, the year is expected to be just as dynamic, following the re-election of Donald Trump and significant rate adjustments by major central banks.
Analysts at Alpari have pointed to the U.S. dollar as a key asset likely to maintain its upward trajectory in 2025. With potential policy measures such as tax cuts proposed under the Trump administration, economic demand could rise, contributing to inflationary pressures. This scenario might prompt the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher compared to other regions, fueling demand for the dollar. Moreover, safe-haven demand could boost the dollar’s value if geopolitical uncertainties persist.
In terms of oil market projections, Alpari anticipates potential price declines throughout 2025 due to an anticipated oversupply and decreased global demand. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts an excess supply of over one million barrels per day, with the Trump administration’s emphasis on expanding U.S. oil production likely exacerbating this situation. Furthermore, potential tariffs could dampen demand, particularly in China. However, an economic recovery in China may counterbalance these factors, possibly increasing global oil demand.
The Euro Stoxx 50 index is identified as a potential growth area in 2025, with expectations that the European Central Bank might reduce interest rates by 100 basis points or more to address existing economic challenges in the Eurozone. While lower interest rates could bolster equity markets, risks remain due to potential trade tariffs from the U.S. and a slowdown in Chinese economic activity, which could impact European trade and investment flows.
In the realm of cryptocurrencies, Alpari analysts speculate that Ripple (XRP) could ascend to the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization in 2025. Ripple’s token saw a substantial surge in 2024, positioning it as the fourth-largest digital asset by market cap. Developments in ongoing legal proceedings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and potential policy changes under the Trump administration may influence Ripple’s market position in the coming year.
