The bottom 50% of US households benefit from historic market surge: Equities value surpasses $500 billion, quintupled since 2020 pandemic.

The equity market has witnessed a significant surge, with the value of equities surpassing $500 billion. This surge has been particularly beneficial for the bottom 50% of US households. According to recent financial data, the equities value has quintupled since the onset of the 2020 pandemic, reflecting a robust recovery in the stock market.

The transformation in the equity market has been driven by several factors, including government initiatives and corporate actions. For instance, Trilogy Metals (TMQ) saw a substantial boost in its stock value following President Donald Trump's announcement that the U.S. will authorize construction of a 211-mile road in Alaska's Ambler Mining District and will take a 10% stake in the Canadian mining company . This decision, which was previously quashed by former President Joe Biden, has breathed new life into TMQ's stock, which more than tripled overnight on the transformative news.

Moreover, Remed Co., Ltd. announced an equity buyback on April 3, 2025, which closed with 588,378 shares, representing 1.91% for KRW 2,000 million . This move has had a positive impact on the company's stock value, contributing to the overall market surge.

The historic market surge has been a boon for the bottom 50% of US households, who have seen their equities value increase significantly. This growth highlights the resilience and recovery of the US economy post-pandemic and underscores the importance of equities as a wealth-building asset.
