Thanks to the decoupling from America and the billions in infrastructure investment that this entails, German stocks are gaining new appeal. Their global stock market capitalization share has climbed to 2.3%, up from well below 2%. But still miles away where it used to be... Source: Bloomberg, HolgerZ
