In contrast, the stock exchange of the Global North have actually flourished through 2025 and look like continuing to do so, at least in the very first half of 2026.

The figure is up from $1.9 tn at the beginning of this year and comes as the S&P 500 climbed up more than 18 percent in 2025.

This has created an expanding financial bubble that could break in 2026. Investment in AI data centres has surged by over 50% per year, while other types of fixed and residential financial investment are contracting. AI financial investment, and fiscal and monetary alleviating will drive US development in 2026, however at the expense of rising spending plan and trade deficits and inflation.

Of course, much of this rising success is 'fictitious', ie based on capital gains made in the stock markets.
