BlockBeats News, on September 11, the S&P 500 Index reached an intraday all-time high.
JPMorgan expects that the scale of US stock buybacks will increase by another $600 billion on top of this year's record $1.5 trillion. In just eight months, the global buyback scale has already reached last year's $1.37 trillion, which means it could reach $1.9 trillion in 2025, an increase of 38%.
Despite strong trading volume, buybacks relative to market capitalization remain below historical peaks (2.6% in 2007, 5% in 2007). While IPO activity remains sluggish, record stock buybacks are reducing stock supply for the fourth consecutive year, continuing to support the market. (Golden Ten Data)
