Believe It! The World's Stocks are Rasengan-ing the U.S. Market!

My Ninja Way: International Stocks Taking the Lead!

Alright listen up! As future Hokage I Naruto Uzumaki gotta tell ya about something HUGE! Bank of America says everyone's super hyped about international stocks like they think they'll be the BEST in the next five years! Believe it! Less than a quarter think the US will keep dominating! It's like when I finally mastered the Rasengan – everyone was surprised but I knew I could do it! Now these stocks are showing the same kind of power!

Shadow Clone Jutsu... of Investment?

This year the rest of the world is totally trouncing the U.S. stock market. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. ETF (ACWX) is up 15% in 2025! The S&P 500? Only 2.6%! That's like me trying to beat Sasuke in the Chunnin Exams – but this time I'm actually winning! Investors are pulling away from the dollar because of some of President Trump's policies. It's like trying to use a Shadow Clone Jutsu when you're out of chakra – things just ain't working right!

Talk No Jutsu Doesn't Work on Tariffs!

Trump threw out some tariffs on imported goods then paused 'em for negotiations. It's like trying to use my Talk No Jutsu on Orochimaru – sometimes it works sometimes it just makes things more complicated! All this tension in the Middle East and Europe? It's making everyone hoard gold! They say "long gold" is the most crowded trade. It's like everyone's trying to get their hands on the Nine Tailed Fox's chakra – everyone wants a piece!

Emerging Markets? More Like Emerging Ninjas!

Investors are also jumping into emerging markets and global equities. In June they're all about Eurozone EM and banks and they're avoiding U.S. stocks the U.S. dollar and energy. It’s like when everyone finally realized I wasn’t just a knucklehead and started seeing my potential! Believe it!

Etsy Stock: A Hidden Leaf Village Gem?

Over on Wall Street Truist is saying Etsy's stock is gonna jump! They upped their price target by 9% saying investors should buy the dip. Apparently even though Etsy's dealing with changes in China they're doing better than some other companies. It’s like finding a hidden ramen shop in the Leaf Village – a total surprise but totally awesome!

The Future Hokage's Final Thought!

So there you have it! The world of stocks is changing and it's all about those international gains. Just like how I went from zero to hero these markets are showing some serious growth! Remember believe in yourself work hard and never give up – that's the ninja way! Dattebayo!
