| Welcome to our final edition of Smart Investing for 2025. | |
| Now is an important time to reflect as we wrap up this year. This edition comes at a very difficult time following the terror attack in Sydney over the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been impacted by this horrific event. In this week's edition we provide Vanguard's economic and market outlook for 2026, where we delve into AI's rapid evolution and its expected impacts on economies and markets. Separately, we explain why we're bullish on U.S. bonds, but are less so on U.S. stocks. And, lastly, read our outlook for the Australian economy and our expectations for further interest rate cuts. We wish all our readers a very happy holiday season and new year. You'll receive our next Smart Investing edition on 14 January 2026. | |
