Why the US is still the top pick for investors

The United States remains the go-to destination for global investment, according to top finance executives. At a recent gathering in Saudi Arabia, these leaders shared their optimism about the U. S. economy, downplaying fears of a slowdown. They believe the U. S. offers better opportunities compared to Europe and parts of Asia. Investors are pouring money into U. S. stock markets, reaching new heights. This surge is partly driven by excitement around artificial intelligence (AI). However, some experts warn that this rapid growth could lead to a market bubble. Concerns also linger about rising U. S. government debt and the impact of trade tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Despite these worries, big names in finance are bullish on the U. S. The head of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, noted that investors are bringing their money back to the U. S. after a brief hiatus earlier in the year. He believes the U. S. will be the best place to invest for the next 18 months. Similarly, the CEO of Goldman Sachs thinks most investment will continue to flow into dollar-based assets. He sees no major signs of an economic slowdown in the U. S. in the near future. Another prominent investor, Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, is hopeful about a trade deal between the U. S. and China. He expects progress soon, given the upcoming meeting between Trump and the Chinese premier. Bill Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, downplayed concerns about U. S. government debt. He pointed out that the U. S. has strong assets that often get overshadowed by discussions about its liabilities.
