And what it means for your portfolio.
Markets move for two reasons:
- Hard numbers – interest rates, corporate earnings, economic data.
- Human emotion – fear, greed, confidence, panic.
The trick is knowing which matters more right now – and how to position your portfolio accordingly.
The Current Drivers
In 2025, the big themes are:
- Cooling but sticky inflation.
- Shifting central bank interest rate policy.
- Geopolitical tensions in trade and energy.
- Tech innovation reshaping sectors.
Why It Matters
If you follow headlines daily, you’ll feel like markets are chaos. But over decades, the real drivers are fewer – and predictable if you know where to look.

- Identify core drivers of current markets.
- Match your portfolio’s risk to your goals, not the news cycle.
