Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com Newswire), a go-to platform for big investment ideas including crypto stocks, publishes market commentary from deVere Group.
Global stocks extending gains indicate a strong year-end rally could be imminent, the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory organizations predicts.
The comments from Nigel Green of deVere Group come as the US Senate on Sunday advanced a funding bill aimed at reopening the federal government and ending a shutdown that has now lasted about 40 days – the longest in US history – a move that has injected new optimism into global markets.
Stocks rose in key regions on Monday as investors banked that progress in Washington could spark a powerful year-end rally.
In Europe, the pan-regional Stoxx 600 gained about 1%, while Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC 40 both rose about 1-1.6%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei rose by about 1.3%, South Korea’s Kospi by almost 3% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng by about 1.5 to 1.6%. US futures pointed higher, with Nasdaq futures up more than 1% and S&P 500 futures up about 0.7 to 0.8%.
Risk sentiment was also evident in other assets. Bitcoin traded back above $106,000 after gaining around 4-5% over the past 24 hours, while spot gold rose to just over $4,070 per troy ounce, continuing recent developments as investors balanced renewed risk appetite with demand for portfolio insurance.
Nigel Groen says:
“Markets are looking for any excuse to buy – and after weeks of shutdown news and concerns about AI and technology valuations, this breakthrough in Washington could be the catalyst.
Traders want functionality, they want clarity, and once they see that, buying momentum increases very quickly.”
He notes that the mood is turning against the backdrop of the already strong stock performance this year.
“The S&P 500 is up in the mid-teens in percentage terms so far in 2025, and the Nasdaq is close to a 20% gain. Both are not far from record territory.
“This indicates that investors are willing to continue buying through noise. A credible move toward ending the shutdown gives them a new reason to push for new highs by year’s end.”
Nigel Green says the reaction is exactly what you would expect as a major source of uncertainty begins to dissipate.
“For 40 days, the shutdown has dented confidence, disrupted federal services and delayed key economic data. Now that there is a visible path to reopening, investors are quickly looking for a position.
“This is pent-up optimism – and you can see it in the way futures, Asian markets and European indices are all moving together.”
He emphasizes that the underlying conditions for an increase at the end of the year are already in place.
“Liquidity remains strong, earnings have been better than many feared, and expectations for earnings growth in 2025 and 2026 are strengthening. Inflation has eased from previous peaks.
“Markets are close to record levels, looking for a reason to extend the run. A credible end to the shutdown could be just that.”
Nigel Green also emphasizes that the rally is broader than just AI and technology.
“Tech and AI-related names have played a central role in this year’s gains, but today’s response shows greater breadth.
Cyclical sectors and financial institutions in Europe, as well as key Asian benchmarks, are participating in this move. That indicates that investors are repositioning themselves for a scenario in which the world’s largest economy continues to move forward rather than getting stuck in politics.”
He points to digital assets as a key sentiment barometer.
“Bitcoin rising back above $106,000 alongside rising stocks shows that investors are using both traditional markets and crypto to express the view that stability is returning. At the same time, rising gold shows that there is still a demand for protection. This is not blind speculation – it is a calculated expression of confidence with an insurance policy.”
However, Nigel Green warns that the optimism is conditional.
