Global stock markets experienced a significant uptick on September 23, 2025, fueled by renewed enthusiasm in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Asian markets led the charge, with South Korea's index rising by 0.5%, Japan's Nikkei 225 climbing 6.5% this month, and Taiwan's market up nearly 7%. The surge was driven by strong performances from tech giants like Nvidia, Oracle, Apple, and Tesla, attracting momentum and options traders. Nvidia's announcement of a $100 billion investment in OpenAI, with initial hardware deliveries expected in late 2026, further bolstered investor confidence.
In parallel, gold prices soared to a new record high of $3,759.02 per ounce, marking an increase of nearly 9% for the month. This surge reflects investors' growing appetite for safe-haven assets amid ongoing market optimism and economic uncertainties.
Investor sentiment was also influenced by mixed signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve. While some Fed officials advocate for aggressive interest rate cuts, others caution against potential inflation risks. Markets are closely monitoring these developments, with expectations of up to two rate cuts by the end of the year. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech is highly anticipated for further insights into the central bank's economic outlook.
Despite the bullish trends in equities and commodities, oil prices experienced a slight decline. This dip occurred even as geopolitical tensions persist, with traders assessing potential supply risks and the implications of recent developments in the Middle East.
