The value of global domestic equity market increased from ***** trillion U.S. dollars in 2013 to ****** trillion U.S. dollars in 2024. The United States was by far the leading country with the largest share of total world stocks as of 2024. Global market capitalization in different regions The market capitalization of domestic companies listed varied across different regions of the world. As of Decmber 2024, the Americas region had the largest domestic equity market, totaling ** trillion U.S. dollars. This region is home to the NYSE and Nasdaq, which are the two largest stock exchange operators in the world. The market capitalization of these two exchanges alone exceeded ** billion U.S. dollars as of January 2025, larger than the total market capitalization in the Asia-Pacific, and in the EMEA regions in the same period. Largest Stock Exchanges in Latin America As of December 2024, the B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcao) was the biggest stock exchange in Latin America in terms of market capitalization and the second-largest in terms of number of listed companies.

While the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused all major stock market indices to fall sharply in March 2020, both the extent of the decline at this time, and the shape of the subsequent recovery, have varied greatly. For example, on March 15, 2020, major European markets and traditional stocks in the United States had shed around ** percent of their value compared to January *, 2020. However, Asian markets and the NASDAQ Composite Index only shed around ** to ** percent of their value. A similar story can be seen with the post-coronavirus recovery. As of November 14, 2021 the NASDAQ composite index value was around ** percent higher than in January 2020, while most other markets were only between ** and ** percent higher. Why did the NASDAQ recover the quickest? Based in New York City, the NASDAQ is famously considered a proxy for the technology industry as many of the world’s largest technology industries choose to list there. And it just so happens that technology was the sector to perform the best during the coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, many of the largest companies who benefitted the most from the pandemic such as Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, are listed on the NADSAQ, helping it to recover the fastest of the major stock exchanges worldwide. Which markets suffered the most? The energy sector was the worst hit by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, oil companies share prices suffered large declines over 2020 as demand for oil plummeted while workers found themselves no longer needing to commute, and the tourism industry ground to a halt. In addition, overall share prices in two major stock exchanges – the London Stock Exchange (as represented by the FTSE 100 index) and Hong Kong (as represented by the Hang Seng index) – have notably recovered slower than other major exchanges. However, in both these, the underlying issue behind the slower recovery likely has more to do with political events unrelated to the coronavirus than it does with the pandemic – namely Brexit and general political unrest, respectively.

The repository contains six CSV datasets, which are the major indices of the Chinese stock market, including the SSECI, the SZSECI, the GEI, the CSI 300 Index, the CSI 500 Index, and the SSE50 index.

Correlation analysis (emerging market).

The dataset contains a collection of indices representing different segments of the Chinese stock market. Here's an overview based on the column names and general knowledge about these indices:

TradingDay: Represents the trading day or date for which the index values are recorded.

SZ50 (上证50): The Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 Index, commonly known as the SSE 50 Index. It tracks the 50 largest and most liquid A-share stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This index is often used as a barometer for the overall performance of blue-chip stocks in China.

KC50 (科创50): Likely refers to the Science and Technology Innovation Board 50 Index. This index tracks the top 50 companies (by market capitalization) listed on the STAR Market, which is a Nasdaq-style tech board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It focuses on companies in high-tech and strategic emerging sectors.

HS300 (沪深300): The CSI 300 Index, which includes the top 300 stocks by market capitalization from the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. It's a comprehensive reflection of the performance of China's A-shares market.

ZZ500 (中证500): The CSI 500 Index, which tracks the 500 next largest stocks after the CSI 300 (i.e., stocks ranked 301st to 800th by size). It provides a broader view of mid-cap stocks in the Chinese market.

ZZ800 (中证800): The CSI 800 Index, which combines the CSI 300 and CSI 500 indices, encompassing the largest 800 stocks in the Chinese A-share market.

ZZ1000 (中证1000): The CSI 1000 Index, which reflects the performance of stocks ranked 801st to 1800th in terms of total market capitalization. It's a measure of small-cap stocks in the market.

These indices collectively offer a comprehensive view of the Chinese stock market, covering large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks across various sectors. Each index is constructed based on market capitalization and liquidity criteria, ensuring that they accurately reflect the segments of the market they are meant to represent.

This article focuses on the detailed network structure of the co-movement for asset returns. Based on the Chinese sector indices and Fama-French five factors, we conducted return decomposition and constructed a minimum spanning tree (MST) in terms of the rank correlation among raw return, idiosyncratic return, and factor premium. With the adoption of a rolling window analysis, we examined the static and time-varying characteristics associated with the MST(s). We obtained the following findings: 1) A star-like structure is presented for the whole sample period, in which market factor MKT acts as the hub node; 2) the star-like structure changes during the periods for major market cycles. The idiosyncratic returns for some sector indices would be disjointed from MKT and connected with their counterparts and other pricing factors; and 3) the effectiveness of pricing factors are time-varying, and investment factor CMA seems redundant in the Chinese market. Our work provides a new perspective for the research of asset co-movement, and the test of the effectiveness of empirical pricing factors.

This paper reexamines the profitability of loser, winner and contrarian portfolios in the Chinese stock market using monthly data of all stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange covering the period from January 1997 to December 2012. We find evidence of short-term and long-term contrarian profitability in the whole sample period when the estimation and holding horizons are 1 month or longer than 12 months and the annualized return of contrarian portfolios increases with the estimation and holding horizons. We perform subperiod analysis and find that the long-term contrarian effect is significant in both bullish and bearish states, while the short-term contrarian effect disappears in bullish states. We compare the performance of contrarian portfolios based on different grouping manners in the estimation period and unveil that decile grouping outperforms quintile grouping and tertile grouping, which is more evident and robust in the long run. Generally, loser portfolios and winner portfolios have positive returns and loser portfolios perform much better than winner portfolios. Both loser and winner portfolios in bullish states perform better than those in the whole sample period. In contrast, loser and winner portfolios have smaller returns in bearish states, in which loser portfolio returns are significant only in the long term and winner portfolio returns become insignificant. These results are robust to the one-month skipping between the estimation and holding periods and for the two stock exchanges. Our findings show that the Chinese stock market is not efficient in the weak form. These findings also have obvious practical implications for financial practitioners.

The Asia-Pacific Mutual Fund Market Report is Segmented by Asset Class (Equity, Bond, Hybrid, Money Market, Others), Investor Type (Retail, Institutional), Distribution Channel (Banks, Online Platforms, Financial Advisors, Direct), and Geography (India, China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, South-East Asia, Rest of Asia-Pacific).

This study examines the market return spillovers from the US market to 10 Asia-Pacific stock markets, accounting for approximately 91 per cent of the region’s GDP from 1991 to 2022. Our findings indicate an increased return spillover from the US stock market to the Asia-Pacific stock market over time, particularly after major global events such as the 1997 Asian and the 2008 global financial crises, the 2015 China stock market crash, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2008 global financial crisis had the most substantial impact on these events. In addition, the findings also indicate that US economic policy uncertainty and US geopolitical risk significantly affect spillovers from the US to the Asia-Pacific markets. In contrast, the geopolitical risk of Asia-Pacific countries reduces these spillovers. The study also highlights the significant impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on these spillovers. Given the increasing integration of global financial markets, the findings of this research are expected to provide valuable policy implications for investors and policymakers.

To investigate the issue of inflation-hedging to find appropriate hedging assets against inflation by using the VAR or VECM model. We have collected data encompassing housing price indices, stock indices, price indexes, and money supply from five countries: the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. The housing price index focuses on the transaction prices of listed residential houses in the metropolitan area as the benchmark, the stock price index is the ordinary stock market index of various countries, the price index is the consumer price index (CPI), and the money supply is M2 aggregate. The time period for obtaining data on the housing price index and stock price index is not the same.
