[SINGAPORE] Global markets have been on a rollercoaster ride this year amid tariff moves, persistent inflation, job worries and political tensions.
US stocks plunged to lows in April on US President Donald Trump’s “retaliatory” tariffs, but quickly bounced back, with market performance showing resilience despite ongoing risks. The bond market too suffered sell-offs a couple of times this year on similar worries.
China and other Asian markets were also volatile earlier this year, initially gaining from the optimism over the DeepSeek-driven artificial intelligence (AI) movement, but falling on tariffs as well. Since then, flows into China markets have been driven by government stimulus and a lack of alternatives, with some investors staying cautious on US stocks.
