Monthly Market Views: October 2025

Interview with Monica Defend 

4 themes driving markets:

  • Tariffs may still slow growth in the coming months.
  • The Fed may be forced to cut rates further as the labour market softens.
  • ECB seems more confident that inflation is under control.
  • US-China trade tensions remain, but extreme escalation is unlikely.

Watch the full commentary with Monica Defend, Head of Amundi Investment Institute. 

Weekly Market Directions: Week of 29th September - 3rd October 2025

The impasse in the US Congress

Key takeaways:
 
  • The partisan conflict in the US led to a government shutdown due to spending disagreements. This is not unprecedented.
     
  • The shutdown is not due to a breach of the US debt ceiling which, in theory, could lead to a default. The US has never defaulted on its debt.
     
  • Nonetheless, this situation could create volatility and affect investor confidence. For the time being, markets are ignoring this.
