Bull market broadens to AsiaFor three years, US stocks dominated global returns. Asia outperforms the US againIn 2025, we saw a rare outcome: emerging markets outperformed the S&P 500 by a wide margin, 30.8 percent versus 16.4 percent. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix continue to benefit from the global AI hardware cycle, but the rally has broadened beyond semiconductors. More importantly, broad emerging market ETFs are seeing massive inflows – $4 billion in Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF and $5.8 billion in iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF. A move to 7,000 and beyond would put the PSEi firmly in bull market territory.
