Back Around The World: 2025 In Review
Tue Dec 23 2025
In this year-end edition of Back Around The World, Mark Yusko unpacks the highs, lows, and jaw-dropping surprises that shaped the global economy in 2025. The year opened with markets at record highs and investor euphoria, only to be jolted by tariff wars, recession fears, and wild volatility. Tariffs dominated headlines for months, sparking trade tensions and policy uncertainty that rattled global markets. Meanwhile, AI optimism and tech valuations soared to levels rivaling the dot-com bubble, even as economic fundamentals weakened. Bitcoin reached new all-time highs, gold surpassed $3,000, and global liquidity fueled a stunning rebound across equities despite mounting debt and consumer stress. As the year closed, animal spirits returned, but questions linger about whether this rally is built to last. Join us as we turn back the tape to discuss an extraordinary year for markets.
