Top Unexpected Market Winners of 2025

In 2025, surprising market winners include European stocks, Latin American equities, and international REITs, all of which had underperformed in previous years. European stocks benefited from macroeconomic improvements and lower interest rates, Latin American markets rallied due to a weakening dollar and economic recovery, and international REITs outperformed US REITs amid low interest rates and property sector strength.
