Factoid of the Day Thursday, May 23, 2013
As of yesterday’s close, Bloomberg data showed that the U.S.’s share of total world stock market capitalization was 34.05%, up nearly two full percentage points from 32.14% at the start of 2013, according to Bespoke Investment Group. The only other country to post a significant gain in share (6.94% to 7.91%) was Japan. It has the second largest stock market capitalization.
