On December 5, 2025, global financial markets saw optimism as economic data reinforced investor bets on interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve at its December policy meeting. Soft inflation prints and related indicators supported market expectations of easier monetary policy, which lifted global equity indices and boosted gold prices while pressuring the U.S. dollar. Investors interpreted the data as reducing near-term tightening risks and improving liquidity conditions, supporting risk appetite across asset classes. The combination of macro-economic signals and central bank expectations drove sentiment in equity and commodity markets, with volatility gauges remaining subdued ahead of the scheduled Fed decision.
