These Two Markets Have Beaten The U.S. This Year
Most investors are familiar with the S&P 500, often seen as the benchmark representative of U.S. stocks. With everything tech and AI capturing the mindshare of media headlines this year, it might seem like investing in the U.S. was the only option for returns.
U.S. markets have done well for investors this year, returning +28.07% up to November 2024.
However, there are two markets that have delivered returns higher than the U.S. this year and you will be pretty surprised about which ones they are.
ISRAEL (+31.98)
The Israel-Hamas war has been ongoing for more than a year now with a terrible cost to human lives on both sides of the conflict. Had you asked anyone, nobody would have imagined that Israel would be one of the top performing markets globally in the midst of a war.
SINGAPORE (+33.80)
The market that had done even better than both U.S. and Israel is right at home where we are. The Singapore market rebounded from a lacklustre 2023 where it lagged global stocks by more than 18% to take the top spot amongst the three markets this year, returning +33.80%.
By focusing on attention grabbing headlines, investors focused on the tech, AI and the U.S. might be missing out on returns that show up elsewhere in the world.
