Pongsak Sapakdee/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview The equity market ended 2025 on a positive note. The S&P 500 Index returned 2.7% in the fourth quarter, finishing the year up 17.9%, just shy of a third consecutive 20%+ annual gain. This outcome seemed unlikely early in the year amid several potential disruptions, including the emergence of new competitive artificial intelligence ('AI') models from China and heightened uncertainty following the rollout of a new U.S. tariff regime. Ultimately, strong AI-related investment, the resumption of U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts, and a more pragmatic tone from the Trump administration on trade negotiations allowed equities to push to new highs. As in the prior two years, the communication services and technology sectors led performance, with a narrow set of mega-cap technology, media, and telecommunications stocks contributing to approximately half of the S&P 500's return. Still, market breadth improved meaningfully relative to 2023 and 2024. All 11 sectors posted positive returns, and the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index rose 11.4%. While this lagged the cap-weighted index by 650 basis points (bps), the gap narrowed considerably from the 12% to 13% differentials of the prior two years. Notably, the top-performing equity factor in 2025 was positive 3-month earnings per share ('EPS') revisions, which outpaced momentum, size, and growth. We view this as evidence that fundamentals still matter. From a return-driver standpoint, earnings growth was the clear engine of the market's advance in 2025. Forward S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise 16% in 2026 over 2025. Dividends contributed roughly 1.5% to the total return, while valuation remained largely unchanged, with the index ending the year at approximately 22 times next 12-month earnings.

Tverdohlib/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. dollar ( DXY ) slipped below 97.5 on Monday, posting weakness against major currencies after the Supreme Court ruling that struck down Trump's sweeping tariffs, undermining confidence in the greenback. The U.S. dollar typically weakens during periods of heightened policy uncertainty in Washington, as foreign investors scale back exposure to U.S. assets. The euro ( EUR:USD ) and sterling ( GBP:USD ) rose 0.3%, while the U.S. dollar ( USD:JPY ) fell 0.4% to the yen amid light Asian trading due to a holiday in Japan and China's Lunar New Year break. The precious metals, including gold and silver, increased 1% and 5.5%, respectively, on Monday as a retreat in the U.S. dollar reinforced their safe haven appeal as a hedge against policy risk. Gold demand also firmed as an expanded U.S. military posture in the Middle East and threats of retaliation from Iran renewed concerns. The haven demands were supported by weak Q4 GDP growth of 1.4% and an overshoot in core PCE inflation to 3%, which kept the Fed path uncertain.

In this article ORCL AMZN META GOOGL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Hyperscalers are significantly ramping up their AI capex spending — and increasingly using credit markets to fund it. But investors say this shift is challenging mega-cap tech giants' so-called 'fortress balance sheet' status, and rips up what they call the "unspoken contract" that kept speculative AI spending largely separate from debt markets. After Amazon , Meta and Google-owner Alphabet all unveiled sizable increases in their full-year capex spending plans during earnings season, UBS data indicates that aggregated capex spend among AI hyperscalers could top $770 billion in 2026 — some 23% higher than previously expected. In a Feb. 18 note, UBS credit strategists said such increases imply a $40 billion to $50 billion ramp-up in borrowing from hyperscalers, pushing public market debt issuance to between $230 to $240 billion this year. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Oracle. Al Cattermole, fixed income portfolio manager at Mirabaud Asset Management, said this tilt toward the bond market is dramatically shifting the dynamic between hyperscalers and investors. "For years, we've been told this AI spend would be funded by generated cash flow — that it is equity risk, it is speculative, and not to worry about it from a credit point of view," Cattermole told CNBC in an interview. "There now seems to be a change in the unspoken contract that while we would continue to lend to these businesses, really AI capex was still going to be equity or cash funded….By bringing capex spend into the debt markets, you now have the question of credit worthiness." 'Break point' Last September, Oracle tapped the bond market for some $18 billion in one of the biggest debt issuances on record. Others have rapidly followed, with Google-owner Alphabet recently issuing some $20 billion in debt, including a rare 100-year sterling-denominated bond. That's placing the sector's debt load under sharper scrutiny. "...
