The Illusion of the US #
Stock# #
Market#
While US stock market indices are rising in nominal terms, they are actually losing ground. Not only are they lagging behind #
gold# and #
silver#, but they are underperforming compared to international markets like China and Vietnam. Furthermore, the US #
Dollar# has depreciated; for instance, #
European# investors have seen their purchasing power in the US increase by roughly 5% just by holding their own currency.
