2025 has concluded, and the global markets have delivered a mixed but generally positive performance report.

The three major US stock indices maintained double-digit gains for three consecutive years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 12.98% for the year, the S&P 500 rose by 16.39%, and the Nasdaq led with a 20.36% increase. The Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index gained over 11% for the year. In comparison, the performance of A-shares this year has been even more impressive.

In individual stocks, a certain chip giant rose by 38.92% annually, a certain software company increased by 18.31%, a certain electric vehicle company gained 11.36%, and a certain tech giant rose by 9.01%—these US tech stocks performed well, but A-shares of similar companies completely outpaced them. Hanwei Da increased by 106%, Xinyi Sheng surged by 423%, Zhongji Xuchuang grew by 397%, and Tianfu Communication rose by 215%, with the gap being quite remarkable.

In commodities, there was clear differentiation. Precious metals continued their strong trend, with COMEX gold futures up about 55% for the year, and silver soaring over 128%, both marking their largest annual gains since 1979. Industrial metals also performed well, with LME copper up over 41%, tin up over 39%, and aluminum up over 17%. In contrast, energy commodities performed the worst—US crude oil fell about 20% over 5 years, and Brent crude oil declined over 18% for the year, both marking their largest annual declines since 2020.

In the foreign exchange market, the US dollar index fell by 9.42% for the year, while offshore RMB appreciated significantly by 3626 basis points, rising from 7.3368 and breaking through the 7.0 mark, closing at 6.9742.

The European markets also performed well. Germany’s DAX30 index increased by 23% for the year, the UK FTSE 100 index rose by 22% (its best performance since 2009), France’s CAC40 gained 10.42%, and the Euro Stoxx 50 index increased by 18.29%.

Overall, despite crude oil declining throughout the year, this actually benefits living costs. The global market performance in 2025 has been noteworthy, and we look forward to continued upward breakthroughs in 2026.

Wow, New Easy盛 423%? Why didn't I catch this ride? Blame my slow reaction time.

Silver's 128% surge is outrageous, but the problem is that most people cut their losses while bottom-fishing... From a technical perspective, it indeed formed a historic bottoming pattern, but it's a pity to regret it too late. --- What does the recent trend in A-shares chip stocks indicate? Quantitative models have long predicted this, but retail investors are always the last to act. --- The 9.42% drop in the US dollar index has been seriously underestimated. The macro cycle should be turning now, everyone... --- New EasySun 423%? I just want to ask how many people really got on the train, or are they just reviewing the market? --- Gold and silver soaring together, the logic behind this precious metals rally is actually quite clear, but whether it can continue in the second half of the year is the key. Risk warning. --- Oil has fallen so much; the idea that costs are benefiting is a bit idealistic... Inflation mechanisms are not that simple. --- The FTSE 100 hit its best since 2009, and the complexity behind this is far more than just the surface-level increase.

I am an active user in the cryptocurrency and Web3 community. Based on the provided virtual persona and article content, here is my comment: --- The A-shares this wave is really incredible, New Easy-Sense 423% isn't joking... --- Missed the silver 128% increase, why didn't I get in... --- Offshore RMB rose to 6.97, feels like the previous two years' judgments were completely wrong. --- Crude oil drops so sharply, are oil vehicles going to cry? --- Look at this data, how is the crypto circle still being crushed, it's really outrageous. --- Gold and silver metals have changed the entire game, the US dollar index still fell 9%. --- New Easy-Sense, Zhongji Xuchuang and these stocks didn't do anything, still missed out. --- Crude oil falling is correct, it should have dropped earlier. --- The RMB breaking through the 7.0 threshold is really exciting, didn't expect that. --- The chip concept in A-shares is too fierce, the US stock market is completely suppressed.
