Gita Gopinath Warns of $35 Trillion Global Wealth Crash Risk from US Stock Market Dependence

** Gita Gopinath reveals how global overexposure to American equities creates unprecedented systemic risks. The former IMF chief economist calculates a potential $35 trillion wealth destruction that would dwarf the dot-com crash, with limited policy tools available for response.

Former IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath has issued a stark warning about the world’s dangerous dependence on American stocks, suggesting this overexposure could trigger a global wealth destruction event exceeding $35 trillion. Despite recent market volatility amid trade tensions, the stock market remains near all-time highs, fueled by artificial intelligence enthusiasm that draws concerning parallels to the late 1990s exuberance. While technological innovation genuinely boosts productivity, there are compelling reasons to fear the current rally may be setting the stage for a severe market correction with far-reaching global consequences.
