Global markets stalled in November 2025 as investors weighed a resolved U.S. shutdown against uncertain data and shifting monetary policy. Technology stocks pulled back, defensive sectors outperformed and global bonds stayed flat while precious metals lifted commodities. Diversification and valuation discipline remain central heading into 2026.

The AI boom has powered record profits and towering valuations, but November’s hesitation marks a potential turning point. As sentiment cools, diversification and disciplined risk management become essential to navigate an increasingly narrow market.
