The future of AI in trading: prospects for 2025 by global broker Octa


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 December 2024 – 2025 is expected to be the year of increasing AI adoption. According to recent PwC findings, ‘2025 will bring significant advancements in quality, accuracy, capability, and automation that will continue to compound on each other, accelerating toward a period of exponential growth’. Finance, which remains one of the top three sectors with the highest AI penetration, according to Statista and PwC, is no exception. Corporations and retail traders are expected to accelerate AI deployment to increase productivity while carefully mitigating the risks of overreliance on algorithms. In this material, Octa, a broker with globally recognised licenses, shares insights on how AI in trading will evolve in 2025.

Emerging AI trends in trading for 2025
Machine learning continues to redefine the trading landscape by enhancing the speed and precision of market analysis. The 2024 IMF Global Financial Stability Report, Chapter 3, highlights that advancements in artificial intelligence are poised to improve market efficiency. To be more precise, AI-driven tools are expected to enable faster portfolio rebalancing and more efficient processing of large trades in asset classes like equities and bonds. However, the IMF also notes the potential risks associated with these technologies, such as heightened volatility during market stress.

Neural networks, particularly large language models (LLMs), have shown immense potential for sentiment analysis in trading. Since their introduction in 2017, the share of AI-related patent applications in algorithmic trading has surged from 19% to over 50% annually. The tools are already deployed to process market sentiment from news and social media in near real-time, offering traders insights into geopolitical developments and economic forecasts.

Algorithmic trading has grown substantially, with AI-driven systems enabling faster execution and reduced operational errors. High-frequency trading powered by AI has seen significant adoption, particularly in liquid asset classes such as equities and derivatives. While detailed statistics on future adoption rates remain speculative, the World Trade Organization’s focus on the digital transformation of markets underscores the increasing reliance on automation to enhance trading efficiency and liquidity.

Opportunities for traders in 2025
AI’s capacity to process sizable quantities of historical and real-time facts allows investors to benefit from predictive insights that had been formerly inconceivable. Advancements in AI-powered predictive analytics are changing how we forecast international markets by making predictions more accurate and providing clear, actionable insights. These tools are transforming financial markets, helping investors spot trends and respond to changes with greater confidence.

Emotions can often get in the way of smart trading decisions, especially when markets are highly volatile. AI helps solve this problem by relying purely on data and predictive models for decision-making. According to the IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report, AI-driven tools are already helping retail traders manage risks more effectively and avoid impulsive trades that could lead to losses.

As AI tool costs decrease, features like real-time portfolio optimisation and automated trading strategies are becoming accessible to individual traders. Previously available only to large financial institutions, these advanced tools are levelling the playing field, enabling retail investors to trade with more confidence and accuracy.

Risks and challenges in AI integration
AI-driven business strategies come with inherent risks. The IMF warns that over-reliance on algorithmic models could increase market volatility during a global crisis. For example, AI-driven exchanges exhibited herd-like behaviour during the March 2020 market turmoil. This resulted in significant price volatility and required a robust regulatory mechanism to manage the risks involved.

The integrity of AI systems faces increasing security challenges. Research shows that the effectiveness of AI models depends on data quality and security. Recent statistics reveal an alarming trend: cyber threats targeting AI are increasing by 47%. The industry requires robust security measures to protect the algorithms against data manipulation and unauthorised access.

While AI offers tremendous value, its complexity poses a challenge for low-tech businesses. The complexity of advanced AI systems makes it crucial to have accessible training resources and intuitive interfaces. These tools help traders, especially newcomers, understand and use AI effectively, paving the way for broader adoption across trading communities.

Preparing for AI-driven transformation
Thriving in an AI-pushed trading environment requires specific training. Otherwise, traders risk facing sophisticated systems they can’t properly handle or misusing AI-based tools, consequently missing out on their benefits. To prepare for future AI tools, traders should try the available software now. The safest option is to test AI deployment when trading on a demo account. This option is available on trading platforms provided by global brokers like Octa. For example, Octa broker currently uses AI to facilitate graph analysis and boost pattern identification when conducting technical analysis. Following the increased AI adoption trend, the company will likely keep embedding more AI-based tools on the platform.

AI is set to further redefine trading in 2025. From enhanced predictive analytics to democratising organisational productivity tools, the technology enables traders to make smarter, faster decisions. However, sustainable usage should remain at the core. One should be aware of risks such as over-reliance on algorithms and data security. To mitigate these risks, a reasonable strategy would be to combine AI-based analytics with human market monitoring and decision-making. AI should be perceived as a convenient tool rather than a magic pill for making accurate trading decisions.

“This incredible 200-store milestone in Vietnam, our largest international market, signifies the acceleration of Jollibee’s global expansion, bringing us closer to our vision of becoming one of the Top 5 restaurant companies in the world,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Jollibee Group Global Chief Executive Officer. “What’s significant to us is how Jollibee was able to be a part of the Vietnamese people’s lives and was provided the opportunity to bring them many joyful moments.”

“We are honored that millions of Vietnam citizens have embraced Jollibee, and truly love the food from Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti to Chili Chicken, which was specially made for the Vietnamese.

“The success we’ve achieved in Vietnam is what we continue to strive for in markets across Asia and the rest of the world where we operate,” said Dennis Flores, Jollibee President for Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia (EMEAA). “In Vietnam, almost 100% of the customers are Vietnamese. This is a testament to how Jollibee can appeal to diverse markets and cross borders.

Jollibee’s Two-Decade Success Story in Vietnam

Jollibee Vietnam’s journey did not happen overnight. Beginning modestly in 2005 with its first branch in Coop Mart Xa Lo Hanoi, the brand has grown to become a beloved dining destination for Vietnamese customers.

“It is the continuous support of the Vietnamese people, and their fondness for Jollibee’s signature offerings like Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti that has fueled this remarkable growth and inspired us to strive towards becoming the quick-service restaurant (QSR) with the widest network in Vietnam,” said Lam Hong Nguyen, Jollibee Vietnam Managing Director.

Jollibee’s success in Vietnam is largely attributed to its menu of exceptional-tasting products loved by locals. Signature dishes like Chickenjoy, perfectly crispy fried chicken, and sweet-style Spaghetti, a unique and beloved offering, have become iconic favorites. The spicy and flavorful Chili Chicken, developed specifically for Vietnamese customers, further complements the diverse menu and caters to the distinct local palate—an approach that has also won over local customers in other markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the Spicy Chickenjoy offering; and in the United Kingdom (UK) and Spain with Chicken Sandwich.

To support growing customer demand, Jollibee established its own ISO 22000-certified commissary in Vietnam to produce its fast-moving products. It is the first and only QSR in Vietnam to support its operation through a self-managed commissary, with the capacity to support 400 stores locally.

Ensuring Success in Asia and Across the World

Jollibee Group’s sustained growth in Vietnam is a testament to its strategic approach, operational excellence, and deep understanding of local preferences.

For almost 20 years, its flagship brand, Jollibee, has delighted Vietnamese customers with its unique and joyful dining experience. The company also continues to grow its presence in the country with its homegrown coffee brand, Highlands Coffee.

Highlands Coffee has grown exponentially since Jollibee Group acquired a 50% stake in 2012, expanding from 56 stores to a network of 763 in Vietnam and 815 globally. Today, the company holds a controlling 60% share of the business. Highlands Coffee is the market leader for Vietnamese coffee, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and community building. Its strategic growth has solidified its presence, especially in key urban areas, resonating strongly with both locals and visitors.

Looking ahead, Jollibee Group is well positioned for continued expansion in Asia and across the world. It recently entered the South Korean market with its acquisition of Compose Coffee. It has also entered into an agreement to acquire full ownership and control of Hong Kong-based dim sum restaurant Tim Ho Wan from Titan Dining LP (Titan Fund). Jollibee Group has also entered a joint venture with Singapore-based Food Collective Pte. Ltd. (FCPL) to expand the Tiong Bahru Bakery and Common Man Coffee Roasters chains in the Philippines.

The Jollibee Group now has a portfolio of 19 brands with over 9,500 stores across 32 countries worldwide.

DHL Express enhances Asia Pacific network to help customers manage geographic headwinds

  • Continuous investments have bolstered DHL’s aviation network and ground facilities in the past year, enabling it to support new trade demands and the traditional peak season spike
  • The company saw 6% more international shipments move between Asia Pacific and other continents through its network, comparing the first nine months of 2023 and 2024

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 December 2024 – DHL Express, has bolstered its aviation network and ground facilities with significant enhancements across Asia Pacific in the past year. Comparing the first three quarters of 2023 and 2024, DHL Express moved around 6% more shipments between Asia Pacific and the rest of the world this year, proving that Asia Pacific will continue to play a bigger vital role in global trade. Amplifying its regional connectivity and efficiency enables DHL Express to cater to new poles of trade growth emerging across Asia Pacific driven by supply chain diversification and geographic tailwinds.

What enhancements has DHL Express made to its Asia Pacific network?
What enhancements has DHL Express made to its Asia Pacific network?

Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express said, “Asia Pacific markets are facing significant growth boosted by diversification of global supply chains, structural tailwinds and e-commerce. Thanks to our forward planning, we are well-positioned to respond to these shifts in demand with the timely and strategic enhancements we have made across the region. These enhancements also put us in an excellent position to support our customers during the traditional peak season where consumer e-commerce traffic will spike.”

Responding to Southeast Asia’s growth demand

Southeast Asia is a rising star in global trade. With its young and skilled workforce, several trade agreements, and focus on innovation, the region is attractive and one of the fastest-growing destinations for international traders looking to diversify their supply chains.

In the past year, DHL Express has expanded several key facilities in the region to keep pace with increased trade. It upgraded the South Asia Hub located by Changi Airport, Singapore to cater for anticipated volume growth, which stood at more than 20% in 2021 and 2022. Playing an essential role in DHL Express’s multi-hub strategy for Asia Pacific, the South Asia Hub leverages Singapore’s position as a key logistics hub to serve shipments destined for Europe, Americas, Asia and Oceania. Upgrades to the Hub include the deployment of new X-ray screening machines that raise scanning capacity by close to 30% and enhancements made to the existing material handling system that increase sorting capacity by almost 40%.

South Asia Hub is also home to five DHL-owned Boeing 777 freighters operated by Singapore Airlines under a crew and maintenance agreement. These aircraft offer an additional payload capacity of over 1,200 tons, optimizing transit times between the Americas and Asia, as well as bridging trade between the continents. The new Boeing 777s consume 18% less carbon emissions compared to the legacy B747-400s – reducing DHL’s Scope 1 emissions.

In October 2024, DHL Express opened the advanced gateway in Kuala Lumpur, firmly supporting Malaysia’s prominence as a sourcing destination, particularly for electric and electronics manufacturing. With an investment of around EUR60 million, the expanded facility spans over 13,000 square meters, and is equipped with a fully automated sorting system. It is also constructed in accordance with DHL Group’s guidelines for a carbon-neutral building, where solar panels, energy-efficient systems for water and electricity are installed across the complex.

The regional upgrades also include reinforcing the company’s network across high-demand trade routes. In September, a new direct flight from Hong Kong to Jakarta was introduced to further improve transit time and customer service quality. Businesses and consumers in Indonesia stand to benefit from faster deliveries of their intra-Asia Pacific shipments and more trade opportunities with Asian partners.

Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations & Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express said, “We take a proactive approach to continuously adapt our network and enhance our service quality. Our customers today have diverse needs, and our robust international network will help connect them to global markets and drive new growth opportunities in the region. International trade remains integral to the world economy and we will continue to play a central role to that.”

Strengthening Oceania’s connectivity for international trade

Oceania’s export-driven economy is strongly supported by the company’s modern logistics networks and efficient customs procedures. To help customers better leverage the region’s opportunities and trade routes to its Asia-Pacific counterparts, a dedicated flight route now operates between Sydney and Hong Kong to further enhance connectivity from the Oceania region. Upon shipment arrival in Hong Kong, it offers next-day delivery services to Mainland China, India, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam.

Besides additional air cargo capacity, DHL Express has also commissioned two ground facilities in Adelaide and Newcastle in the last 12 months.

The company cemented its presence in Australia with a recently opened gateway in Adelaide. Re-located nearer to the airport, the enlarged facility’s peak facility handling capacity has increased fourfold and it improves transit times for outbound shipments to Asia Pacific, Europe and the U.K. by a day. It will also help local businesses gain direct air freight access into and out of Adelaide and South Australia, reducing the need to rely on other Australian ports. In addition, DHL Express has established a new multi-million dollar service center in Newcastle that is more than 10 times larger than the previous site. The infrastructure will help businesses in the region export their products to international markets and access a wider range of imports for their supply chains.

DHL Express will also open a new gateway in Christchurch, New Zealand, as it further extends its footprint in the country. As the largest investment ever made in the country, the facility will be DHL Express’s first 100% carbon-neutral facility in New Zealand. Its line sorter conveyor system, capable of processing up to 6,500 parcels per hour for inbound shipments and 5,600 parcels per hour for outbound shipments, will enable local Kiwi businesses to import and export more efficiently.

Scaling network capacity in North, East and South Asia to accelerate trade

Hong Kong is a crucial gateway for trade between mainland China and the rest of the world. DHL Express has inaugurated its Hong Kong West Service Center to further enhance the special administrative region’s connectivity as the city gears up to meet growing trade demand. The facility can handle over 50,000 shipments a day and has earned the LEED gold status – a globally recognized green building certification program.

In the first quarter of 2024, DHL Express and Japan Airlines also strengthened their partnership with a wider air network connecting Japan, Seoul, Shanghai, and Taipei. This demonstrates DHL Express’s ability to be agile and commitment to raising service reliability and efficiency standards.

As a popular multi-shoring destination, India’s overall exports continue to trend upwards, attaining a growth of 1.23% between November 2022 and 2023. According to the latest DHL Global Connectedness Tracker, India is also one of the countries with the largest increases in its share of world trade. Recognizing the need to cater to the growing demand for logistics services, DHL Express invested and opened its first automatic shipment shorting hub in New Delhi, India. This investment caters to local businesses’ desire to export seamlessly to foreign markets.
