Magic Markets2024-12-11T22:20:57+02:00

In our final free show for the year, we look back on a year that has been dominated by gold and bitcoin, along with US equities that have shot the lights out. We consider a strong finish for China, along with the ongoing disappointment of Europe. And of course, we talked about the positive surprise of South Africa this year and how political change can drive investment returns. As we look forward to another exciting year in the markets in 2025, this is the perfect way to cap off the Year of Elections worldwide.
