Monthly Chart Pack - August 2025

Wednesday, 13 August 2025, written by Henk-Jan Pijper

Dive into our chart-pack, your one-stop hub for the sharpest macroeconomic visuals. Effortlessly navigate a treasure trove of economic and financial market indicators, from global trends to regional and country-level insights. Compare key metrics across nations with ease.

For example, take the chart below. It shows that today’s S&P 500 index has become historically highly concentrated. By that, we mean that a small group of eight tech-adjacent mega caps (Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla and Broadcom) by market capitalisation make up a record 38% of the total S&P 500 market cap. Their dominance is even more pronounced in the tech focused Nasdaq 100 where these 8 stocks hold approximately 70% of the Nasdaq 100 total value.

Although the unusually high concentration can last for an extended period, we think the latest thinning of US stock market leadership is a growing concern. We believe it makes the overall market far more vulnerable to a larger corrective period once these mega caps stop rising and start to roll over. Then, the main pillar supporting the rally from recent years will collapse and the broader indices could drop fast within a short period of time.

About this report

Our chart-pack contains the most relevant macroeconomic graphs in one place, clearly structured and organized for a wide range of economic and financial market indicators and analytical content. Additionally, we provide regional and country level data as well as international comparisons to allow you to contrast financial and macro indicators across countries.

The main benefit, we hear from our users, is that this is a huge time saver for them – although they can access much of the data from sources they have access to, it always takes time to put it together. For our users who do not have access to data sources such as 'Datastream' or 'Bloomberg' it is also a cost saving alternative to those systems. 

Our 'Chart-Pack' is also available to you as a 'White-label solution'. Use the charts in your periodic newsletter. Or, it can be used for your internal (investment committee) meetings and/or to discuss markets with clients. It will then not only delivered to you in PDF format but also in Word so that you edit and use for your letters, meetings or presentations. It is also possible to include additional charts.
