Global markets have surged by approximately $16 trillion in 2025, driven by strong U.S. stock market performance and investor optimism in Bitcoin. Despite geopolitical tensions, including Russia's drone activities in NATO territories and Israel's actions in Gaza, traders are embracing risk, buoyed by corporate profits and central bank policies. The U.S. Federal Reserve's recent rate cut has further stimulated market growth. Oil prices have reached a four-year low, contributing to the market's upward trajectory, while defense stocks and gold prices have risen amid increased government spending and a weak dollar. Analysts caution that while current market calm persists, historical patterns suggest potential disruptions from ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
