According to a report by news agency Bloomberg, the massive fall in the US stock market in the last one month has shaken investors around the world. In just 1 month, the US lost $5.5 trillion (about ₹455 lakh crores), due to which its share in the global equity market has come down from 51% to 47.8%. An interesting fact is that the US's loss in just one month is more than the value of India's entire stock market!
Now who stands where?
| Country | Share in global equities |
|---|---|
| America | 47.8% (earlier 51%) |
| China | 9% |
| Japan | 5.5% |
| Hong Kong | 4.9% |
| India | 3.3% (₹4.8 trillion market cap) |
Why did the US stock market fall? There has been a massive sell-off in Big Tech companies. Some of the "Magnificent Seven" (Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Nvidia) stocks fell by 15-50%. Tesla alone has fallen by -50% from its December high. These seven companies account for about 33% of the S&P 500 and are solely responsible for the index's 10% decline. Fear increased due to Trump's tariffs - President Donald Trump's new trade policies and possible tariffs have increased the concern of investors worldwide. UBS Global Market Head Gautam Chhaochharia says that markets around the world have not yet fully calculated the impact of these tariffs. If these remain for a long time, it will have a negative impact on global economic growth. Who is ahead and who is behind around the world?
