Among the major stock market indexes in the world, the lion's share also belongs to the Nasdaq 2014 in 100, the list of the main American high-tech companies: since the beginning of the year it has gained 18,1% outclassing the European stock exchanges, including only Turkey does better with a rise of 19,4% which however reflects the limitedness and volatility of a peripheral financial center.
In the heart of the Old Continent, however, the primacy goes to the Zurich Stock Exchange, which rose by 8,6% in 2014 with a much better performance than the major European stock exchanges. If we consider the main stock indexes, Frankfurt (-3,1%), Paris (-1,7%) and London (-1,14%) are still in the red and Milan, after a sprint start, has completely canceled all earnings for the year over the last few weeks and is currently at zero.
In Europe, in addition to Istanbul and Zurich, the 2014 performance of the Dutch Stock Exchange, up by 3% and of the Madrid Stock Exchange, which gains 2,49%, was also good.
In the other continents, the Argentine Stock Exchange is in a race for itself which, despite the poor economic performance, is up 80,7% since the beginning of the year, and Bangkok, whose index is up 21,3%.
