Shifting Dynamics of Global Stock Markets
The U.S. stock market, once a dominant force, is now being overshadowed by international markets, particularly in 2025. Factors such as U.S. political uncertainty and changes in economic policies are leading to significant declines in domestic stocks, with the S&P 500 facing its worst weekly performance since September. In contrast, foreign markets like Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index have seen substantial gains, driven by robust performances from companies like BYD and Alibaba. Investors are reconsidering their strategies as European countries implement policies bolstering defense spending, resulting in record highs for indexes like Germany's DAX.
