With the increasing popularity of the Internet, various online stock trading platforms with low handling fees and even free of charge have emerged, and the younger generation who could not go abroad during the epidemic began to set off a wave of stock speculation. Among them, young investors led by Generation Z (those born after 1996) have surged rapidly in the stock market. More and more people have begun to pay attention to the active US and Hong Kong markets, and there are more and more needs and ways to go overseas. Compared with traditional investment methods, secondary market investment is the first choice for simplicity and speed.
Looking at the world stock market, whether it is the United States or Hong Kong, the market is much more mature and the mechanism is more complete. No matter whether you are long or short, as long as you see it accurately, you can grow wealth and accumulate wealth. As far as the current situation is concerned, the extent and duration of the epidemic have seriously exceeded expectations. The market decline has brought uncertainty to the performance of securities companies and the valuation repair of various industry sectors; the policy on cross-border capital flows has been tightened; tight; market volatility, etc. Coupled with the turbulence of the international situation, the market sentiment is relatively nervous, and it is still necessary to patiently observe the market trend of the US stock market, but this does not prevent the preparation for entering the US stock market in advance. For most non-American people, American stock trading may be unfamiliar, but it is not a difficult task. The development of Internet technology has also ushered in a new era in the investment world.
To invest in overseas stock markets, you must first open a stock account. Tiger Brokers, established in 2014, is the well-known US and Hong Kong stock brokerage that comprehensively invests in overseas markets. Its main creative team has many years of financial and Internet experience, and its core members are from financial institutions and Internet companies such as Morgan Stanley, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Yahoo, NetEase, Guosen Securities, Thomson Reuters, etc. This Internet brokerage mainly provides securities market services such as U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and A-shares, and supports the trading of U.S. stocks, ETFs, options, Hong Kong stocks, A-share Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect. In March 2019, Tiger Securities was officially listed on the Nasdaq exchange in the United States (Nasdaq: TIGR).
Economic growth and inflation in the post-pandemic era
In the early days of the new crown epidemic, the economies of all countries in the world were negatively affected to varying degrees. The United States, as the world’s largest economy, has adopted a series of measures to regulate the economy through the monetary policy implemented by the Federal Reserve and the fiscal policy passed by Congress and approved by the President. On March 25, 2020, local time, the United States officially passed the $2 trillion economic stimulus bill and signed it into law. At the same time, the market has abundant funds, and the financial statements of listed companies are also very good. The US stock market has risen sharply after a short-term shock for 3 months, and the Nasdaq index has doubled in 12 months, which is bullish! But soon, due to the excessive supply of money and insufficient supply of materials, prices rose; this led to the US price index CPI rising to 7%, hitting a new high in nearly 40 years!
The recent rise in inflation figures is only a “temporary situation”, but it is a very unique period from a historical perspective. The shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic have largely halted economic activity; the reopening of markets has created supply chain constraints and inflation. While some signs of cooling in U.S. price increases have begun to be seen, more investors remain concerned that inflationary pressures could persist for longer. At present, the US stock market is at the top of the bull market in 2013, which is a bull market driven by capital. If the liquidity of the capital market is tight, then the US stock market has a great chance to end the 13-year bull market. If it enters a downtrend, the risk of the stock market will also increase.
The recent sharp rise in U.S. stocks has undoubtedly made more liquidity in the hands of investors participating in U.S. stock market investment and has also stimulated consumption even more. With soaring prices in the United States, the pressure to raise interest rates is increasing. To ease the upward inflation pressure, the Federal Reserve will shift its monetary policy from looser liquidity to a tightening trend in the past. Although rising interest rates can curb the rise in prices, the real economy of the US and the US stock market will undoubtedly be greatly affected. This will lead to higher costs for US companies, the pace of US real economic recovery will undoubtedly slow down, and GDP growth will slow down or even show negative growth.
With the gradual opening of markets in various countries, driven by the strengthening of the post-pandemic economy, the performance of the stock market has shown huge differences. Some companies have performed strongly, mainly including growth-oriented tech and e-commerce companies that have benefited from the outbreak. At the same time, more cyclical sectors of the market, such as companies in the energy and financial industries, faced significant challenges at the onset of the pandemic. The latter is catching up and gradually catching up with the early winners in the process of responding to the outbreak, developing a vaccine, and reopening the economy. Looking at global stock markets today, we see a fairer landscape with a wide range of investment opportunities.
