The way investors thought USA as safe haven fleeing and dumping emerging markets assets.
Despite Covid-19,riots the US is still the best market to be in now and for now it maybe considered as a "safe heaven".NSE 20 Share Index is below 2008 GFC levels yet S&P 500 has appreciated by 5 times the GFC lows and its quite possible that we may see new all time highs in US stocks as the Fed money printing pump job continues to work its magic and push stocks higher.The USD,despite the Fed printing trillions,is the best performing currency as other major world currencies like the Euro,Yen,Yuan,Pound are being printed even more relative to GDP than the USD.King Dollar wont be dethroned in the immediate future and holding US dollars and trading US stocks is currently,in my opinion,the best way to make money now
The US will always have an advantage over other markets because of their superpower status,the USD being the global reserve currency and the fact its the US markets are the largest,deepest and most liquid in the world so in times of crisis investors will rush to the US.Also the Eurozone and Japan have negative central bank interest rates and negative yielding corporate and government bonds which are toxic fueling the rush into US denominated assets.
Its not fair that the US has this exorbitant privilege.Its not fair the US,UK,Eurozone,China and Japan can print trillions and not have their currencies collapse immediately yet if third world nations print like these developed countries our currencies implode.The monetary system and financial markets are heavily skewed and rigged in favour of the developed world and especially the US since the first world nations developed the global economic order to favour them.Its not fair but its reality so make money from this grim reality.Long term US financial assets like stocks,bonds and the USD will unravel but currently US is King.Anyway if US assets tank,you can still make money shorting the market.
