What’s trending in capital markets

Global markets are showing signs of renewed momentum — boosted by rising hopes that Federal Reserve rate cuts are imminent. That expectation has lifted risk-asset sentiment, pushing equities higher, especially in the technology and growth sectors. 

At the same time, fixed-income and bond markets remain busy. Government and corporate bond issuance continues to climb, reflecting record-high supply globally — with total bond market capitalization recently surpassing $80 trillion. 

Technological innovations are reshaping market infrastructure. Firms are increasingly adopting distributed ledger technology and tokenisation for securities, while algorithmic and AI-driven trading strategies are transforming liquidity, pricing, and settlement dynamics. 

Finally, emerging markets — particularly in Asia and other developing regions — are attracting capital flows as investors look beyond traditional U.S./European markets. Growth, demographic tailwinds, and relative valuation appeal are making emerging-market equities and bonds a focal point.
