With the first phase of the US-China trade deal, world stock markets are back on track, giving shareholders good returns.

The S&P 500 Index has been the most-traded stock exchange in the world for thirty years. Most investors around the world are familiar with the S&P 500 index. If you invested $100 in the U.S. market on November 26, 1990, you’d have over $1,000 today. Over nearly 30 years, the S&P 500 has increased by 901%, which is the most out any of these major indices. If you invested in the German or Hong Kong markets, you’d have fairly similar results as well — each gained more than 800% over the same time period.
