The World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report, released Thursday, highlights a fragile outlook as inflation, trade disruptions, geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty weigh on momentum.
The global economy is expected to stay stuck at 2.7% growth in 2025-&#8217;26, a pace too weak to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">drive real economic progress.</a>
Emerging markets, which power 60% of global expansion, are no longer closing the gap with advanced economies as quickly as they once did. 
Yet, some are bucking the trend, with a few poised to grow above 5%, offering rare opportunities for investors in an otherwise sluggish environment.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Argentina's Rebound Under Milei's Reforms</h1>
Argentina's economy is staging a comeback, with GDP expected to expand 5% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026. This sharp rebound follows two years of contraction, driven by a steep currency devaluation and trade imbalances.
"Argentina has seen significant improvements in activity in commodity-related sectors, including agriculture, energy and mining," the World Bank said in its report. The country's trade surplus has also grown, helped by a sharp drop in imports following the peso's depreciation.
President Javier Milei's sweeping economic reforms — focused on slashing government spending, deregulating industries, and stabilizing inflation — are beginning to take hold.
Investor confidence is returning, fueling a 78% surge in the Global X Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>) over the past year. 
The fund has already attracted more than $700 million in inflows since mid-January 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Indonesia: Stable Growth At 5.1%</h1>
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, is expected to grow 5.1% in 2025, supported by strong domestic consumption and exports of palm oil, coal, and other commodities.
Despite solid economic growth, the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIDO#NYSE">EIDO</a>) has struggled, posting a 14% decline over the past year. 
This weakness reflects concerns over global commodity demand and capital outflows from emerging markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Philippines: A 6.1% Expansion Fueled By Services</h1>
The Philippines is on track for 6.1% GDP growth in 2025, according to the World Bank. This growth is fueled by its booming services sector, particularly business process outsourcing and remittances from overseas workers. 
Government-backed infrastructure spending is also providing a lift.
Yet, the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPHE#NYSE">EPHE</a>) has underperformed, slipping 4.6% in the past year. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Vietnam's Manufacturing Strength</h1>
Vietnam is expected to be one of the fastest-growing economies in 2025, with a projected 6.6% expansion. 
"Vietnam's growth spell was both transformative and inclusive," the World Bank said, noting the country ranks among the top emerging markets in achieving sustainable development goals.
The manufacturing sector remains the backbone of Vietnam's economy, benefiting from foreign direct investment and a shift in global supply chains away from China. 
However, the VanEck Vietnam ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNM#NYSE">VNM</a>) has struggled, dropping 11% over the past year, reflecting broader volatility in emerging markets and China&#8217;s economic slowdown.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">India: The Growth Powerhouse</h1>
India, the world's fastest-growing major economy, is expected to expand 6.7% in 2025. Though slower than the 8.2% growth recorded in 2023, the country's economic engine remains strong, powered by resilient consumer spending and steady services activity.
Higher inflation and slower credit expansion have dampened urban consumption, but long-term fundamentals remain intact. 
The iShares MSCI India ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDA#BATS">INDA</a>) gained 4% over the past year, outperforming many other emerging market funds.
Investors continue to back India's growth story, with over $800 million of inflows over the past year.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow).

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares traded lower Thursday following a report that its iPhone sales in China dropped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43021026/apple-stock-has-moved-up-4-2-since-iphone-16-launched-analyst-says-it-has-another-8-upside-as-manufacturing-cost-decline-bolsters-cupertinos-margins">significantly in 2024. </a>
What To Know: Data from research firm Canalys revealed a 17% annual decline in Apple&#8217;s shipments in the country, its largest-ever sales drop in the market. The contraction included a 25% plunge in the fourth quarter alone according to Reuters
Apple was overtaken by Chinese smartphone makers Vivo and Huawei, which captured 17% and 16% market shares, respectively, compared to Apple&#8217;s 15%. The data potentially underscored growing challenges for Apple, including Huawei&#8217;s resurgence with locally-made chipsets and the increasing popularity of domestic brands offering foldable and AI-capable smartphones.
In response to declining sales, Apple introduced rare discounts in China earlier this month, cutting prices on iPhone 16 models by up to 500 yuan ($68.50). Major e-commerce platforms like Alibaba&#8217;s Tmall marketplace followed suit with additional promotions. Despite these efforts, competition from Chinese manufacturers and a lack of AI integration in Apple&#8217;s latest devices may have eroded its market position in one of its key regions.
The broader Chinese smartphone market grew 4% in 2024, with brands like Huawei and Xiaomi posting substantial shipment increases, further highlighting the competitive pressures faced by Apple in the region.
AAPL Price Action: Apple shares closed Thursday down 4.04% at $228.26, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a> The stock saw a further decline in after-hours trading, down 0.026% at $228.20.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Viking Therapeutics 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

The National Cannabis Roundtable (NCR) and U.S. Cannabis Council (USCC) announced a merger, uniting their efforts to represent leading multi-state and single-state cannabis operators, retailers, ancillary businesses and advocacy organizations on Capitol Hill.
The U.S. Cannabis Roundtable, the result of this merger, will serve as a unified voice for the cannabis industry, addressing the newly sworn-in 119th Congress and the incoming Trump administration. This consolidated organization will represent businesses operating in 38 states, as well as a significant portion of the 13,000 retail locations and nearly 450,000 full-time employees within the state-licensed cannabis sector.
"This is a pivotal time for the regulated&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;industry with a newly elected Congress and an incoming president who has publicly supported and pledged to advance commonsense cannabis reform," said Charlie Bachtell, CEO of Cresco Labs Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>) and chairperson of both NCR and USCC. 
"As the chairman of both groups, I have seen first-hand the incredible talent of each organization and know that the combined group will be the unified authority advocating on behalf of the legal&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;industry and a resource on all things&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;for members of the Trump Administration and Congress."
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump supported a states' rights legislative approach to cannabis, including reclassifying it from Schedule I to Schedule III and backing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/safe-banking-act">SAFE Banking Act</a> — key priorities for NCR and USCC.
"President Trump's endorsement represents a sea change in&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;policy and advocacy," said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) and vice chair of NCR. "For the first time in history, a Republican president endorsed these initiatives, and our new combined organization will best position the industry to help the president get them over the finish line."
NCR and USCC will deploy an advocacy team including former members of Congress and a former Trump senior advisor, among others. The cannabis priorities of the organization and its advocates focus on reform initiatives and will include:
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rescheduling&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;to Schedule III
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Passing states' rights legislation that allows each state to make its own decision on&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;policy
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Enacting&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;Banking Legislation (the SAFE/SAFER Banking Act)
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ending the scenario that allows foreign&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;companies to list on the NASDAQ and NYSE while prohibiting state-licensed U.S.&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;companies from doing the same.&nbsp;

Aeva To Transfer Stock Exchange Listing Of Its Common Stock And Warrants To Nasdaq Global Select Market From NYSE; Ticker Symbol To Remain 'AEVA'

Nukkleus Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>) shares are trading higher in Thursday&#8217;s after-hours session after the strategic acquisition company announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43040329/nukkleus-inc-successfully-resolves-nasdaq-delisting-threat-achieving-compliance-across-all-key-par">regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Thursday, Nukkleus said it received notice on Wednesday that it successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules which require companies to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities and a minimum market value of publicly held shares.
Nukkleus effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split on Oct. 24 to regain compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Every eight shares of the company&#8217;s common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares from 16.9 million to approximately 2.1 million.
Nukkleus on Thursday announced that the Nasdaq canceled the hearing scheduled for Jan. 21, confirming that the company&#8217;s shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq.
&#8220;The management of the company believes this milestone underscores its effective resolution of all compliance matters with Nasdaq, allowing the company to continue its pursuit of sustainable growth and deliver lasting value to its stakeholders,&#8221; the Nukkleus said.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NUKK Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nukkleus — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. 
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
NUKK Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nukk">Nukkleus shares</a> were up 28.59% in after-hours, trading at $26.40 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
