Markets cautious in the face of Fed and AI investments

Eurizon Weekly, 15.12.2025. Over the course of the week, market attention focused on the Fed meeting, which decided on a 25bps rate cut.

The themes of returns on AI investments and the resilience of the global macroeconomic framework remain central for investors.
