Show Notes
2025 was anything but predictable — and the markets proved it.
In this episode of Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down the biggest trends that shaped the markets in 2025 and what investors should take with them into 2026.
You’ll learn:
- Why the S&P 500 posted a third straight year of double-digit gains — something that’s only happened eight times in the past 100 years
- How artificial intelligence optimism pushed mega-cap stocks higher
- Why tariff fears briefly rattled markets after President Trump’s April announcement
- The surprising reason international stocks outperformed U.S. markets in 2025
- Why interest rates broke the script, even after multiple Fed rate cuts
- A tale of two commodities — why gold and silver surged while oil fell sharply
As we head into 2026, this recap highlights an important reminder: markets don’t move in straight lines, leadership rotates, and discipline still beats prediction.
