The world is a big place, no much more so that in the world of finance. The stock exchanges around the world manage the flow of investment into companies, the funding of expansion, the funding of retirements and in the 60 major stock exchanges around the world, there is a value of $69trillion being held or traded.[1]
Of these, there are 16 exchanges that are in a unique position of being in the ‘$1Trillion Club’ or exchanges that have a total market
87% of global market
The big mover in financial circles in the past
Although the world stock markets, particularly the major 60 markets around the globe operate independently from one another, they are most certainly linked. For example, when the New York Stock Exchange has a negative result, as does most of the other stock markets around the globe, as they are intrinsically linked to the New York Stock Exchanges performance.
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is dependent on China with the major Chinese Exchanges of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) a big focus. Australia is dependent on the growth in demand
World stock markets are also responsible for the prosperity of many of the populations of the countries they exist within. In Australia every working individual has a superannuation account
This was seen back in 2008, with the global financial crisis caused by the major players on the world stock markets not being prepared for a crisis or a downturn of such magnitude, plunging many countries’ economies into recession and putting individuals, companies and governments back decades in some cases in terms of economic development and personal financial goals.
As individuals we may not be able to impact world stock markets, however, it is important as an investor to be mindful of their movements
