Globalization

Globalization is the increasing integration and interdependence of world economies through trade, investment, technology, and capital flows. In trading, it means markets are interconnected, with events in one region rapidly affecting asset prices and economic conditions globally.

Example

The interconnectedness of global markets became evident when a factory shutdown in Taiwan's semiconductor industry caused stock declines in auto manufacturers across Europe and the United States.
