Equity indices across the US, Europe, and Asia rose as yields fluctuated and commodities rallied. Looking ahead to Q1 2026, resilient but uneven growth faces policy uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, while AI, tech, energy, and financials lead amid ongoing volatility in bonds, FX, and commodities.
