United States, 6th Mar 2025 — HorizonPointe Financial Group (HPFG) today released its comprehensive Q1 2025 global market trends analysis, providing in-depth examination of key economic indicators across American, European, and Asian markets, along with forecasts for equity and fixed income trajectories. HPFG Chief Market Strategist Andrew Evan Watkins indicated that markets may face significant volatility driven by policy adjustments in 2025, recommending investors focus on AI-enhanced trading strategies and optimal defensive asset allocation.Global Economic Growth and U.S. Market Resilience
Global Economic Growth and U.S. Market Resilience
According to HPFG’s analysis, the global economy demonstrated encouraging resilience during the first quarter of 2025. The U.S. economy continues to outperform other major economic regions, displaying robust growth momentum. This expansion has been primarily fueled by supportive fiscal policies and sustained capital investment from the corporate sector. However, despite positive fundamentals, market participants remain concerned about potential policy missteps, particularly in sensitive areas such as international trade relations and immigration policy.
Inflation Expectations and Monetary Policy Direction
Inflation outlook remains a central consideration for investment decisions. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s latest quarterly survey shows economists have broadly raised their 2025 U.S. real GDP growth expectations to 2.4%, up from previous projections of 2.2%. Concurrently, unemployment is forecast to rise moderately from the current quarter’s 4.1% to 4.3% by Q4 2025, reflecting potential adjustment pressures in the labor market.
European Markets: Investment Opportunities Amid Structural Challenges
European markets faced structural challenges with slowing growth momentum during Q1 2025. Deloitte’s latest economic outlook report indicates that Italian inflation decelerated significantly in 2024 and is expected to maintain a moderate pace below the eurozone average throughout 2025. However, energy costs in Italy—particularly electricity and natural gas prices—remain notably higher than in other major European economies such as France and Germany, directly impacting the international competitiveness of Italian businesses. Despite these challenges, analysts project that the Italian economy will maintain modest positive growth in 2025, broadly in line with overall eurozone economic growth expectations.
Asian Markets: Innovation Leadership and Valuation Risks
Asian markets demonstrated strong growth momentum in Q1 2025, with particularly notable performance in high-technology and innovation sectors. China’s breakthrough progress in artificial intelligence and advanced technology innovation has powerfully driven regional economic growth and market confidence. However, the HPFG report simultaneously cautions investors about potential risks from excessive valuations in certain Asian market segments, recommending maintenance of moderately diversified investment portfolios to effectively disperse systemic risk exposure.
Market Volatility and Intelligent Investment Strategies
HPFG’s quarterly report particularly emphasizes the profound impact of policy environment changes on market volatility. Andrew Evan Watkins notes: “Investors should closely track the fiscal and monetary policy adjustment pathways of major global economies to accurately gauge market volatility rhythms and adjust investment strategies accordingly.” He further recommends that AI-driven quantitative trading approaches can significantly enhance the precision and timeliness of investment decisions. Additionally, he specifically emphasizes the strategic importance of defensive assets in current portfolio construction, noting that appropriate allocation to traditional safe-haven assets such as gold will help effectively diversify and hedge risks during periods of intensified market volatility.
Outlook and Strategic Recommendations
In Q1 2025, global markets present a complex and dynamic landscape driven by both policy changes and technological innovation. In his conclusion, Andrew Evan Watkins emphasizes that successful investors should maintain strategic flexibility, closely monitor policy developments and technological trends, while implementing diversified asset allocation strategies to effectively address both challenges and opportunities presented by market uncertainties.

How Scientologys Social Programs Mobilize Volunteers and Deliver Local Impact Across Europe
The Church of Scientology carries out a wide range of humanitarian programs across Europe—from drug prevention and human-rights education to disaster relief and community training. Rooted in the vision of Founder L. Ron Hubbard and led globally by David Miscavige, these initiatives are coordinated in Europe by Ivan Arjona-Pelado and mobilize thousands of volunteers. With free educational materials, practical training, and partnerships at the local level, Scientology’s social programs are leaving a tangible positive impact on European communities while fostering a culture of service and volunteering.
From drug education and human-rights literacy to disaster relief and community skills training, the Church of Scientology supports a set of social initiatives designed to be practical, free to use, and volunteer-driven. In Europe, these programs operate through local churches and partners, with volunteers distributing educational materials, hosting workshops, and deploying to emergencies.
A suite of programs with a civic focus
Scientology’s humanitarian initiatives include the Truth About Drugs campaign (delivered through Foundation for a Drug-Free World), Youth for Human Rights/United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness (a nonreligious code of common-sense precepts by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard), Applied Scholastics (study skills), Criminon (criminal rehabilitation), Narconon (drug rehabilitation), and the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) network for disaster response and community support. According to Church sources, all are offered as free educational programs and made available in multiple languages both online and in print.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World reports that more than 62 million Truth About Drugs booklets have been distributed worldwide, while the campaign’s public-service announcements have been broadcast in over 120 countries.
Where Europe sees it on the ground
The Volunteer Ministers—recognizable by their yellow shirts—have provided aid at European disasters and community events, often in cooperation with local authorities and NGOs. In Italy, for example, VMs working alongside the civil protection association Pro.Civi.Co.S have been active at major emergencies from the L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes to deployments in Albania and Croatia, and volunteers where also extremely active in Czech Republic floods as well as in Valencia (Spain) for the DANA.
In everyday civic life, volunteers run public pavilions and free skills seminars. In late 2024, VMs in Bucharest offered courses in nineteen practical subjects derived from the Scientology Handbook, with training and materials available in Romanian.
Drug-education volunteers have also been visible in European city centers, festivals, and sports events. During the Paris 2024 Olympics, Drug-Free World teams distributed more than a million Truth About Drugs booklets across iconic locations, reinforcing prevention efforts with visitors and residents alike.
For character education, The Way to Happiness—written by L. Ron Hubbard as a secular guide—has been widely used by volunteers across Europe with schools and community groups to promote civility and ethical choices.
Promoting a culture of volunteering
The Church of Scientology actively encourages volunteering through its Volunteer Ministers program, created by L. Ron Hubbard in the mid-1970s. Guided by the motto “Something can be done about it,” the initiative promotes service as a personal responsibility. Training is provided free of charge through nineteen Volunteer Ministers online courses covering areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and organizing. An information kit is also offered to help new volunteers start activities locally.
Leadership and European coordination
David Miscavige, Ecclesiastical Leader of the Church of Scientology and Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center (RTC), is the driving force behind the expansion of these humanitarian initiatives worldwide, including the Truth About Drugs campaign, human-rights education, and the Volunteer Ministers network.
In Brussels, coordination of the Church’s European engagement is managed through the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights, which maintains dialogue with EU and Council of Europe institutions as well as United Nations in Geneva through its recognized foundation MEJORA.
A civic footprint built on free access and partnerships
Across all programs, the Church emphasizes no-cost educational materials, multilingual availability, and cooperation with community institutions. This model—producing scalable content centrally and mobilizing local volunteers to deliver it—has enabled wide distribution and recurring activities across European cities, from school presentations and public outreach to formal roundtables on rights and citizenship.
