India's stock market overtakes Hong Kong and rises to 7th place - experts analyze the success

According to a report by m.focus.de, India is impressive with its rapid rise to become the seventh largest stock market in the world. The National Stock Exchange of India has reached a value of $3.989 trillion, surpassing the value of the Hong Kong stock market. According to CNBC, this is $3.984 trillion. The Indian stock market has performed positively and the country's Nifty 50 index has risen almost 16 percent this year. This is the best value in the Asia Pacific region. In contrast, Hong Kong is down 17 percent and is the worst-performing major market in the region.

The positive performance of the Indian stock market is attributed to various factors including increased liquidity, increased participation from domestic investors and improving global macroeconomic conditions. In particular, falling US government bond yields have boosted Indian stock markets. The upcoming elections could also have a positive impact. Opinion polls suggest the incumbent BJP-led government could win a decisive victory, triggering a bull run in the early months of the year.

However, the situation in Hong Kong is under pressure as the Hang Seng Index records a fourth consecutive year of losses. Moody's cut Hong Kong's outlook to negative from stable, largely due to the metropolis's financial, political, institutional and economic ties to mainland China.

The positive developments in India and the challenges in Hong Kong could have an impact on the global financial industry. In particular, the increased attractiveness of the Indian stock market could generate increased interest from international investors and further strengthen India's position as an important player in the global market.
