The week ending November 28, 2025, ushered in the “Agentic Era”. Google released Gemini 3 and the Antigravity IDE, which shifted software development from “writing” to “orchestrating”. Simultaneously, Amazon eliminated nearly 14,000 corporate roles. This displacement confirmed the economic reality of AI leverage, particularly impacting junior developer tasks.
The week saw infrastructure fragility (CME outage) overshadowed by optimism. US markets rallied as the probability of a December Fed rate cut surged to a confident 85-87%. India delivered a stunning 8.2% Q2 GDP growth, reinforcing its status as the global economy’s primary engine. Policy divergence is now key.

The year 2025 is poised to be remembered not just for a series of ambitious launches but as the moment humanity’s relationship with space underwent a fundamental transformation. After decades of incremental progress largely confined to low Earth orbit, this year marks a profound and decisive pivot. It is a period defined by a confluence of powerful trends: a determined return to the Moon after more than half a century, the explosive maturation of a private space economy now leading the charge, a deepening of our cosmic understanding through revolutionary new observatories, and an intricate geopolitical dance playing out in the vacuum of space.
