When the global economy grows strongly, the international market demand is vigorous. The export and overseas business expansion opportunities of US enterprises increase, and the profit expectations rise, driving the US stock market to rise. For example, with the rapid development of emerging economies, the demand for US technology products and agricultural products increases. Multinational enterprises such as Apple benefit from their performance, and then drive up their stock prices. Conversely, when the global economic growth slows down or there is a recession, the international market demand shrinks. US enterprises face pressure in overseas markets, and their performance declines, which will bring downward pressure on the US stock market.
The change in the US dollar exchange rate has a significant impact on the US stock market. When the US dollar appreciates, on the one hand, the products of US export enterprises become relatively more expensive in the international market, their competitiveness declines, affecting corporate profits and thus suppressing stock prices. On the other hand, international funds may flow into US dollar - denominated assets, putting certain pressure on the capital side of the US stock market. When the US dollar depreciates, it will enhance the competitiveness of US export enterprises, increase corporate profits, and at the same time may attract international funds to flow into the US stock market, driving stock prices up.
The monetary policies of other major economies also indirectly affect the US stock market. For example, when the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and other central banks adopt loose monetary policies, global liquidity increases, and some funds may flow into the US stock market with higher returns, driving the US stock market to rise. If major central banks around the world simultaneously tighten monetary policies, global liquidity decreases, and funds flow out of the US stock market, and the US stock market will face adjustment pressure.
The trade policies between the United States and other countries are important factors affecting the US stock market. The intensification of trade frictions, such as imposing tariffs and setting up trade barriers, will lead to an increase in the import and export costs of US enterprises, disrupt the global supply chain, and the performance of related enterprises will be impacted, thereby triggering fluctuations in relevant sectors of the US stock market. The easing of trade relations will reduce corporate costs, stabilize market expectations, and have a positive impact on the US stock market.
Conflicts in the Middle East, the Russia - Ukraine conflict, etc. will trigger concerns about global economic stability, leading to a decline in investors' risk appetite. Funds will withdraw from risky assets such as the stock market and seek safe - haven assets such as gold and national bonds, and the US stock market will thus be impacted. At the same time, geopolitical conflicts may also lead to fluctuations in the prices of important energy sources such as oil, increasing the production costs of enterprises and further affecting the performance and market performance of US enterprises.
Political instability in other countries, such as frequent government changes, political scandals, and social unrest, may trigger policy uncertainties and affect the confidence of international investors. In the context of global economic integration, such fluctuations in confidence will be transmitted to the US stock market, causing investors to operate cautiously and the US stock market to fluctuate.
The rapid development of global emerging technology fields such as artificial intelligence, new energy, and semiconductors has brought new growth opportunities to US - related technology enterprises. For example, the widespread application and growing demand for artificial intelligence technology globally have promoted the research and development and business expansion of US technology giants such as NVIDIA and Microsoft in the field of artificial intelligence, enhancing the market value and stock prices of these enterprises. If there are major breakthroughs or changes in global technology development and US enterprises in related fields fail to keep up in time, they may be at a disadvantage in the competition, leading to a decline in stock prices.
US technology enterprises face fierce competition from enterprises in other countries and regions globally. For example, in the 5G communication field, US enterprises compete fiercely with enterprises from countries such as China. If US enterprises gain an advantage in international technology competition, obtain more market share and technological leadership, it will have a positive impact on relevant sectors of the US stock market. Conversely, if they lose in the competition, it may affect the future development expectations of enterprises and lead to a decline in stock prices.
There is a strong linkage among global stock markets. The performance of European stock markets, Asian stock markets, etc. will have a certain impact on the US stock market. When the global stock market as a whole rises, the market risk appetite is high, and investors' willingness to invest in the US stock market will also increase, driving the US stock market to rise. If the global stock market generally falls, panic spreads, investors will reduce their allocation of risky assets, and the US stock market will also be affected.
International funds seek investment opportunities globally, and the inflow and outflow of funds are crucial to the performance of the US stock market. When investment opportunities in other global markets decrease or risks increase, funds will flow into the relatively stable and high - return US stock market, providing financial support for the US stock market and driving stock prices up. Conversely, if the risk expectations of the US stock market rise, funds will flow out of the US stock market to seek other investment targets, leading to a decline in the US stock market.
