I don't put much weight on the "World Cup curse." Football can affect short-term investor sentiment, especially after major wins or losses, but markets are ultimately driven by earnings, interest rates, inflation, liquidity, and economic growth.
A national team crashing out might cause a brief dip in local stocks, but it is usually a sentiment effect rather than a fundamental one. The impact tends to be small and temporary.
For the current market, I think macro matters far more than football: • Fed rate expectations
• AI spending cycle
• Corporate earnings
• Geopolitical risks
• Global liquidity
Biggest winner? Usually not the winning country's stock market. I'd look at sectors that directly benefit from the tournament: broadcasters, advertisers, travel, hospitality, sportswear, and betting companies.
So my view: football may move emotions, but macro moves money. ⚽📈
