Which financial market/markets should we focus on to understand the events in our economy/country/world (and potentially fix the systematic problems)? Does any of the markets dominate the others?
We should be focusing upon stock markets along with commodity Markets and Bond markets along with exchange markets in order to understand the events in our economy in relation to the world.
We should also be focusing upon stock market of other countries in order to find out the movement of stocks in other countries.
U.S markets are always dominating others because of various factors driving them like Dow Jones and Nasdaq are always driving the Global stock market whereas there will be a lot of commodities like oil and gold which will drive the stock markets as well because they are highly related to stock markets.
exchange markets are also affecting the stock market to a large extent because there are large number of domestic currency in respect to foreign currency transactions take place.
Hence it can be said that these markets are always enhancing the efficiency and maximizing the interest of market participants in the overall economy.
