Market environment
• May 2025 saw a strong rebound in global stock markets, erasing the lows from April. This recovery was helped by easing trade tensions (especially between the US and China) and better consumer confidence.• Growth stocks performed better than others, supported by a positive earnings season. In the US, earnings growth reached 12.4%, which increased investor confidence. • In Europe, optimism was also strong, even though there were some trade tensions between the US and the European Union. Expectations of government support and higher earnings forecasts continued to help regional sentiment, reducing fears of a recession. • For bonds, the situation was more mixed: sovereign markets suffered from worries about US government finances and weak demand at auctions in both the US and Japan. However, there was a rebound at the end of the month, thanks to the easing of trade tensions. • On the currency market, the US dollar was very volatile: it fell at first, then recovered a bit at the end of the month, reflecting ongoing economic and political uncertainties.
