In 2025, equities are expected to dominate investment strategies as falling interest rates diminish the appeal of bonds, according to St. Galler Kantonalbank. With a projected GDP growth of 2.3% in the USA and 1.5% in Switzerland, the focus will be on dividend stocks, which are anticipated to yield around 3%. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are gaining interest but remain highly volatile and speculative.
SIX Group has agreed to acquire Aquis Exchange, a British multilateral trading system operator, for approximately £207 million, offering shareholders 727 pence per share, a 68% premium over the average price. This acquisition will enhance SIX's operations across 16 European markets and expand its product offerings, benefiting customers and shareholders alike. Aquis CEO Alasdair Haynes emphasized the opportunity to accelerate growth and enhance competitiveness in Europe while maintaining their entrepreneurial spirit.
