US dominance is slipping—here’s what it means for traders
US markets are losing steam, while global indices are taking the lead. Trade war fears, slowing growth, and an AI rally losing momentum have pushed the S&P 500 into the red for 2025.
📉 The US slips—global markets step up
The Wall Street Journal reports that after peaking at 52% of global market capitalization, the US market’s share is slipping. Look at the chart below—this could be another turning point in global market leadership.
The last time US dominance peaked at these levels was more than 20 years ago, right before international markets staged their multi-year comeback—with US share of global market cap eventually plunging to 30%.
