NEWS & INSIGHTS
May 21, 2025  Key Takeaways The U.S. is home to 1,873 billion dollar firms by market cap, more than a third of the global total. Japan ranks in second worldwide, at 404 billion dollar publicly-listed firms. Since 2000, the number of companies in India valued at $1 billion or more has jumped from 20 to 348. Globally, there are 5,522 publicly-listed firms valued at $1 billion or more. While the U.S. commands the largest share, increasingly, a growing number of large firms are emerging out of India and the broader Asia-Pacific region. Underpinning this trend is strong economic growth, rising capital inflows, and favorable demographics. This graphic shows the world’s billion dollar companies by country, based on analysis from BestBrokers.   Where Are the World’s Billion Dollar Companies Located? With a $60.1 trillion market cap, the U.S. stock market commands 49% of the global market share—and the highest concentration of billion-dollar firms. To look at it another way, the U.S. has about five billion-dollar companies per million residents. This strength can be attributed to America’s technological progress, significant venture capital flows, and economic competitiveness. Country Number of Billion Dollar Market Cap Companies 🇺🇸 U.S. 1,873 🇯🇵 Japan 404 🇮🇳 India 348 🇨🇦 Canada 228 🇬🇧 UK 218 🇨🇳 China 216 🇦🇺 Australia 143 🇩🇪 Germany 143 🇫🇷 France 131 🇨🇭 Switzerland 122   Despite demographic headwinds, Japan follows next, with 404 billion dollar firms. Under president Shinzo Abe, the Japanese stock market experienced significant reforms, boosting foreign investment and merger activity. Additionally, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has required companies to state how they plan to increase company valuations, in a notably undervalued market. Ranking in third is India, seeing an explosive growth of large companies amid rising investor participation and infrastructure investment. Over the past five years, its leading stock market index has surged 137%—surpassing the S&P 500’s 98% gain. China ranks sixth, with 216 companies valued at $1 billion or more. Overall, the Asia-Pacific region has the second-highest share of billion dollar firms after North America, at 30% of the global total. Meanwhile, Latin America and Africa have the lowest shares, at 3% and 1%, respectively.   https://www.visualcapitalist.com/billion-dollar-companies-by-country-in-2025/ [...] Read more...
May 20, 2025Inflation moderation A Consumer Price Index report showed that price increases continued to moderate in April even as higher tariffs began to take effect. Prices rose 2.3% over the same month a year earlier, down slightly from March’s 2.4% annual inflation rate and marking the smallest increase since February 2021. Excluding volatile energy and food prices, core inflation was unchanged at 2.8% in April relative to March.   Trade progress The bulk of U.S. stocks’ weekly gains came on Monday following trade negotiations between the world’s two largest economies. U.S. and Chinese negotiators agreed to sharply reduce rates for many recently introduced tariffs for 90 days while pursuing further talks that could result in a longer-term agreement.   Rebound resumes The S&P 500 finished the week up more than 5% as the major U.S. indexes rebounded sharply from the previous week’s fractional declines. The latest results marked the fourth positive week out of the past six as stocks continued to regain their footing following the sharp declines recorded in late February to early April.   Sales flatten U.S. retail sales posted a small monthly increase after surging the previous month in a bigger-than-expected gain that many analysts attributed to a spike in purchasing ahead of higher tariffs. Thursday’s report of a 0.1% sales rise in April followed a 1.7% surge in March.   SOURCE: https://www.jhinvestments.com/weekly-market-recap#market-moving-news   [...] Read more...
May 16, 2025Back on January 10, 2025, it cost $1.024 to buy one Euro. Last Friday, the $/Euro exchange rate was $1.125 – a drop in the value of the dollar of about 10%. Similar moves in the value of the US dollar versus the British pound, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollar also occurred. Many analysts have jumped on this drop in the dollar to attack President Trump’s tariff policies…basically saying that if we keep heading down this road foreigners will pull back from investing in the US, the dollar will fall, overseas investments will outperform, and the US will undermine its global exceptionalism. As a quick aside, while panic-stricken, politically- motivated attacks are nothing new, the fear generated by “end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it” forecasts since 2008 have reached a frenzy. Investors would be better served by staying level-headed. First of all, think of how many times you have read a headline that “billionaires are selling all their stocks,” or “the dollar is dead,” or “a crash, or depression, is coming.” Especially in the past seventeen years since 2008. And none of these have happened. So, please stay level-headed. Yes, the dollar has moved sharply lower in the past fourmonths or so, but if we look at five- or ten-year timeframes it is right in the middle of its trading range. Yes, European stocks have outperformed US stocks this year, but European stocks are still trailing by a significant amount over the past decade or more. So, what explains the movement in the dollar? Here is a theory that gets too little attention. Everyone knows that there was a huge surge in the US trade deficit as importers were front-running tariffs. So, let’s think about what this means. When people sell goods to the US, they get dollars. In fact, there is a school of economic thought that says the world must run trade deficits with the US because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency and the world needs dollars to both trade and back their own sovereign currencies with one of the most trusted assets in the world. Well, if this is true, and we believe it is, then how many dollars does the world really need? Between 2010 and 2020, the trade deficit averaged about $40 billion per month. From 2020 to 2024, the trade deficit averaged about $70 billion per month, but this was probably at least partly COVID induced…the US opened up faster than other countries. Then in December, the trade deficit hit $98 billion, and then $131 billion in January, $123 billion in February, and $140 billion in March. If we compare this to the $70B per month average from 2024, in just 4 months of 2025, the US has sent $212 billion extra dollars overseas. $212 billion!!!! Assuming that the demand for use of the dollar in international trade did not change one bit, that $212 billion of extra dollar supply in foreign hands would certainly knock its value down on foreign exchange markets. In other words, no wonder the dollar fell this year. We flooded the world with dollars by massively increasing our trade deficit. Well, we believe the front-running comes to an end soon. Our bet is that this will lead to a stronger dollar as supply and demand come back into balance. The dollar is not dead or dying. CLICK TO READ MORE:   [...] Read more...
