As we step into 2025, the financial landscape is set for some exciting twists and turns. Geopolitical dynamics, especially the evolving U.S.-China relationship, are stirring the pot, influencing trade and the tech race.

Add to that the political shifts with the new U.S. administration, and it's clear: staying informed and adaptable is key.
