⚠️CHART OF THE WEEK: Global stock market cap to GDP is growing
Valuations are pushing into rare territory
The global stock market cap to GDP ratio has climbed to 117%, the second-highest level ever recorded.
That’s a 27% increase over the past 5 years, now only below the 2022 peak.

Since the Great Financial Crisis, global equities have grown twice as fast as the world economy.
For context, the ratio peaked at 110% during the Dot-Com Bubble in 2000.
World stock markets have almost never been this expensive based on this metric. Great chart by Tavi Costa.
