How U.S. Interest Rates Affect Bangladesh’s Stock Market | Arib Malik | TEDxYouth@AISD
Separated by oceans and continents, the United States and Bangladesh may appear financially disconnected. But in today’s globalized world, decisions made in Washington can have profound consequences in Dhaka. In this compelling TEDx talk, Arib Malik uncovers the hidden but powerful influence of U.S. interest rates on the volatility and performance of the Bangladeshi stock market.Using historical data and macroeconomic analysis, this talk challenges the widespread belief that Bangladesh’s market struggles are driven solely by domestic issues. Instead, it reveals how U.S. monetary policy—especially changes in interest rates—sends economic ripples across borders, affecting investor behavior, capital flows, and market stability in developing nations like Bangladesh.Key insights include:
-The interconnectedness of global markets in the era of financial globalization
-How U.S. Federal Reserve decisions impact emerging markets
-Why understanding external influences is crucial for economic resilience and reform in Bangladesh
-A call to rethink economic narratives that focus only inward, ignoring the broader global forces at play.Aligned with the TEDx theme "Think Again," this talk offers a fresh lens on financial vulnerability and interconnectedness, encouraging viewers to think globally when analyzing local challenges. Separated by two vast oceans and more than 8,000 kilometers, the United States and Bangladesh might seem like financial worlds apart. But when America sneezes, markets halfway across the globe—like in Bangladesh—can feel the shivers. In this TEDx talk, I’ll dive into the powerful influence of U.S. interest rates, showing how decisions made in the world’s largest economy send ripples that shape the volatility of the Bangladeshi stock market. Using historical data, I’ll demonstrate that the impact of U.S. interest rates reaches far beyond what many might think. Together, we'll explore why Bangladesh’s stock market performance isn’t just an internal story. I aim to challenge the common belief that Bangladesh’s market struggles are solely due to local factors, revealing the hidden hand of global giants like the United States in shaping our financial landscape.
