🇮🇳 India has slipped to 7th place in global stock market rankings after being overtaken by both Taiwan and South Korea.
India was the world’s 5th largest stock market just a few weeks ago.
First Taiwan moved ahead, and now South Korea has also overtaken India.\
According to the latest market capitalization data, India’s stock market is worth about $4.92 trillion, while both Taiwan and South Korea are now around the $5 trillion mark.
Taiwan’s rise has been driven largely by TSMC, the world’s biggest chip manufacturer, while South Korea has benefited from strong gains in technology and AI-related companies such as SK Hynix.
Current ranking:
1️⃣ USA — $75T
2️⃣ China — $17.1T
3️⃣ Japan — $8.2T
4️⃣ Hong Kong — $7.4T
5️⃣ Taiwan — $5.0T
6️⃣ South Korea — $5.0T
7️⃣ India — $4.92T
India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies, but this shows how quickly global stock market rankings can change when technology and AI sectors rally.
