Key Points

1. US interest rates have advanced beyond 17%, and there is growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies alongside regulatory developments.

2. The top 10% of US stocks now constitute 76% of the market, exceeding previous records set before the Great Depression.

3. The ten largest stocks in the S&P 500 make up 40% of the index’s market value, indicating historic concentration levels.

4. The US job market shows warning signals, with nonfarm employment growth falling to 0.97% in July, the lowest since 2020, and the weakest job market in 15 years excluding previous economic cycles.
