JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 10, 2025 — Moomoo, the user-friendly investment platform, recently concluded its second-quarter 2025 survey of North American users. Following a similar approach to last year, the survey was conducted midway through the year to assess users’ investment progress so far in 2025 and gather their outlook for the latter half. Findings indicate that surveyed investors are adopting a neutral position and anticipate increased market volatility in the upcoming half of the year. Despite a generally low consumer confidence regarding the economy, a significant number of investors remain focused on growth and are optimistic about achieving their financial objectives.
Even with concerns about a potential recession and increasing unemployment, investors foresee only a limited number of interest rate reductions from the Federal Reserve in 2025. Given their use of multiple investment applications, investors prioritize immediate access to information. Emerging functionalities such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and extended trading hours are becoming increasingly popular.
After an early-year sell-off driven by tariffs, markets navigated through uncertainty to close the first half with modest gains, nearing historical peaks. Investors generally maintained their positions during the downturn, ending the first half in a robust financial standing. By June 30, the S&P 500 index had risen by 5.5%, the technology-focused Nasdaq 100 index increased by 7.9%, and the Magnificent Seven index saw a 2.5% gain. Moomoo specifically polled 1,200 North American users at the mid-year point to ascertain their investment trajectory and future outlook. While investors largely maintain a positive sentiment, they are adopting a more cautious approach, anticipating increased volatility due to economic uncertainties and tariff concerns. Furthermore, Moomoo users in Canada are closely monitoring domestic and U.S. political developments, adapting their investment strategies in response.
“A greater number of investors reported profitability in 2025 compared to the previous year’s corresponding period; however, inflationary uncertainties are eliciting varied responses from users. Nevertheless, investors are engaging in more frequent trading, utilizing diversified portfolios and varied objectives. Despite foreseeing increased volatility in the latter half of the year, investors are confident that trading via self-directed platforms assists them in attaining their financial independence aspirations,” stated Justin Zacks, Vice President of Strategy, Moomoo Technologies Inc.
