U.S. stocks outperform globally, with energy independence and technological resilience as key factors

Mars Finance reports that since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, the U.S. stock market has turned the tide for international investors, outperforming globally this week with ease. Traders point out that America’s energy independence and the dollar’s status as a safe-haven asset are key factors. Adam Hetts, Head of Multi-Asset Global at Janus Henderson, stated that stocks outside the U.S. are more sensitive to geopolitical risks and oil price fluctuations. The longer the conflict lasts, the greater the potential for U.S. stocks to outperform other markets.
