The U. The Fed last year began to partly sell off the vast hoard of Treasurys it snapped up to lower interest rates and flood the economy with cash during and immediately after the Great Recession. The National Health Commission said 35 new cases of local transmission had been detected over the past 24 hours, four of them in Gansu. ET By Jeffry Bartash. Jeffry Bartash. Until this decade, the preferences of investors in developed nations have shaped the evolution of global capital markets.
Broadly speaking, investors in developed economies hold highly diversified portfolios, with significant portions in equities. The United States stands out for consistently high equity allocations: currently US households have 42 percent of their non-retirement financial assets in publicly listed shares. Households in Hong Kong have similar shares of their wealth in equities.
On average, Western European households placed 29 percent of their financial assets in equities in , with 29 percent in the United Kingdom down from 45 percent in , 25 percent in France, and 19 percent in Germany.
Among developed nations, Japan stands out for its very low investment in equities. Despite a long tradition of equity investing by individual investors for most of the 20th century, Japanese households now hold less than 10 percent of their assets in equities, down from 30 percent before the crash. Because of low or negative returns over the past two decades, Japanese allocations have never exceeded 18 percent in this period. It's been an amazing year ride for Tesla investors — literally better than any other stock.
The wealth created is hard to fathom. Mergers and acquisitions have been the name of the game for biotech investors this year.

But markets have been rising lately, even taking some recent fluctuations into account. Back in the s, the total amount of wealth held by households in Britain was around three times GDP.
This increase has been driven in part by low interest rates. Compared to , when the WAS was first collected, the amount of wealth in the country has increased from 5.
In that time typical household incomes have increased by just 6 per cent in real terms from to , while typical household wealth has gone up by 18 per cent. Private pension wealth is the largest component of household wealth, marginally bigger than total property wealth, and its value has increased by more than that of property wealth too. This reflects a slight cooling in the housing market, while the valuation of pension assets has been pushed up by rising longevity and continued low interest rates affecting defined-benefit schemes , and more people being auto-enrolled into workplace pensions.
Britain may be wealthier than ever as a country, but that wealth is still very unequally shared. The fall in wealth inequality over the 20 th century is over. Wealth is twice as unequally distributed as income, as measured by the Gini coefficient.
This coefficient measures inequality on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 is perfect equality and 1 is perfect inequality a situation where one person has all the wealth. Looking at the major categories of wealth one by one, property wealth is the most equally shared, then pension wealth, with financial wealth the most unequal.
What is perhaps surprising about these statistics is that wealth inequality has not changed very much over the past decade, measured by the Gini coefficient at least. Wealth inequality may not have changed much in the past few years in Gini coefficient terms, but other sorts of inequality matter too — and they have changed. The gap between high-wealth and low-wealth households has widened even as relative inequality has stayed still.
Fifty years ago, someone with a good salary could save enough over the course of their lives to retire with a good amount of wealth to live off.
For many people today this is a distant dream: what matters more is the wealth you inherit or marry in to, rather than the income you can set aside over a working lifetime. Even a family just inside the top tenth of the income distribution would have to save for 50 years, making it unrealistic that even the highest-paid can accumulate large amounts of wealth without windfalls from outside. Households build up wealth for many reasons, but a key one is to help smooth consumption over time and insure against risks like income loss and unforeseen costs in retirement.
As such, we might worry less about income inequality if low-income households have sufficient wealth to provide this insurance. The facts, however, suggest otherwise. During the boom in national wealth in recent years, some regions have fared far better than others. Typical wealth in the North East, East Midlands and West Midlands has actually fallen over the past decade, after adjusting for inflation.
