With inflation coming back under control, and the beginning of interest rate cutting cycles across some developed economies, the final months of 2024 saw some semblance of certainty. After all, markets love certainty. Over in the US we saw stock markets surging. Here in Australia the ASX200 hit a series of all-time highs across the calendar year.
