What Trends Will the Webinar Cover?
There are many outcomes that could happen next year, but we’ve got our eye on three key trends that may have ripple effects on our global landscape.
Join the Visual Capitalist team in the upcoming webinar as we discuss:
Trend #1: The Trump Effect
Why is this a key trend? Whether it’s market reactions to tariffs, or, growing instability of U.S. relations with China, Russia, and Europe—Donald Trump’s return to office will have sweeping impacts on international trade, geopolitics, and the U.S. economy.
Trend #2: Big Tech’s Uncertain Future
Why is this a key trend? Big Tech has rebounded impressively since their slump in 2022, but uncertainty lingers. Over-reliance on Nvidia, AI’s slow returns, regulatory pressures on Google, and Elon Musk’s political influence could alter the 2025 tech landscape.
Trend #3: Everything Is at All-Time Highs, but De-Risking Doesn’t Feel Right
Why is this a key trend? With equities, crypto, and gold hitting record highs, investors may be wondering what to expect next. More rate cuts are also expected, so de-risking doesn’t feel right—but volatility is a near-certainty in 2025, which could mean a bumpy ride in the markets.
Dive deeper into the key trends above with the Visual Capitalist team. Join the discussion and register for the free webinar happening Thursday, December 12th at 11am PST.
