What will happen to markets in 2025?

What will the next year bring for global markets? What impact will Donald Trump’s tariffs have? Will inflation rise? Katie Martin is a markets columnist for the FT and host of the Unhedged podcast. We often discuss how long-term investors must be prepared to weather economic cycles. If you haven’t experienced a market crash yet, Katie believes this year might put your resilience to the test.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
