January 27, Fineko/abc.az. The trends formed in the financial markets in 2025 had generally positive impact on SOFAZ assets, according to today's SOFAZ report.

ABC.AZ informs that the relative weakening of the labor market in the U.S. and the fact that the inflationary impact of tariffs did not materialize as expected, continuation of easing monetary policy in the eurozone and lower interest rates by central banks amid a weakening labor market in the UK supported the positive assessment in the bond markets.

However, interest rates, which remain comparatively high, have maintained the profitability of SOFAZ's sub-portfolio of debt obligations.

Investments in stocks have shown positive results due to the stable financial performance of companies, advances in technologies and artificial intelligence.

High demand for real estate and infrastructure in the logistics and housing sectors has ensured profitability, while rising gold prices to historic highs have generated significant returns on gold in SOFAZ's sub portfolio.
