Market Reviews & Insights

November 2025 delivered a turbulent month for financial markets, with stocks recovering from mid-month losses to finish modestly higher while Bitcoin posted its second-worst monthly performance of the year. The S&P 500 and Dow closed modestly above flat for the month, while the Nasdaq shed 1.5% to snap a seven-month advance. Silver emerged as November's star performer, hitting record highs above $56 per ounce with gains approaching 13% for the month.

October 2025 delivered a tale of two markets: U.S. equities powered to multiple record highs while Bitcoin suffered its worst October in a decade. The month saw the Federal Reserve cut rates again amid mounting concerns about labor market weakness, even as inflation remained stubbornly elevated at 3%. Gold continued its historic run with gains exceeding 3%, while a U.S.-China summit late in the month eased trade tensions and stabilized volatile markets.

September 2025 defied historical trends as markets delivered solid gains despite the month's traditionally bearish reputation. The S&P 500 climbed 3.53% while Bitcoin posted its best September performance in 13 years, signaling a shift in seasonal patterns as investors prepared for what's typically a strong fourth quarter.
