Odaily News: Gate Research has released its latest report on Gate TradFi connecting global markets, noting that the four markets—US, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong—have different sources of returns: US stocks rely on corporate earnings and technology investment, Japanese stocks benefit from governance reform and improved capital efficiency, Korean stocks are primarily driven by the semiconductor cycle, and Hong Kong stocks depend on Chinese corporate earnings, capital flows, and changes in risk premiums.Since 2016, US and Korean stocks have delivered similar annualized returns, but Korean stocks have notably higher volatility and drawdowns; Japanese stocks offer some diversification value, while Hong Kong stocks have undergone a longer valuation recovery cycle. Backtesting shows that cross-market diversification can reduce reliance on any single market, and trend rotation can help improve drawdowns, but neither can eliminate systemic risk, and higher turnover may increase trading costs.Gate TradFi incorporates US, Japanese, Korean, and Hong Kong stocks into a unified stock account, covering over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs, more than 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, over 1,000 Korean stocks, and approximately 300 Japanese stocks, totaling coverage of more than 12,800 stock and ETF assets globally. The platform further connects index, forex, and metals market data, enabling investors to conduct cross-regional market comparisons, asset screening, and portfolio management within the same trading environment, expanding multi-asset observation and trading scenarios.
