SpaceX launched its 125th mission for the year on Dec. 13. With the three recent launches, the total number of launches undertaken by SpaceX this year has risen to 128.
Why It Matters: SpaceX was initially looking to complete 144 launches this year or an average of 12 times per month. 
However, SpaceX VP of Launch&nbsp;Kiko Dontchev&nbsp;said in November that the company will&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41767169/spacex-completes-400th-successful-falcon-launch-to-date-but-will-miss-target-of-144-launches-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">not make its goal of 144 launches this year</a>&nbsp;but is still targeting 30 more launches, or one launch every two days, for the rest of the year.
With less than fifteen days now remaining for the year, one can assume SpaceX to complete 6 more launches as per Dontchev&#8217;s estimate, successfully crossing the 130 launches benchmark. 
For the entirety of 2023, SpaceX&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40916098/elon-musks-spacex-launches-90th-mission-in-2024-with-over-a-third-of-launch-target-still-to-go" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">only completed 96 launches</a>, not including two test flights of the company&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle.

SpaceX Completes 3 Launches In 24 Hours As It Chases Annual Launch Target

The global fund managers increased their allocation to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42527883/top-3-financial-stocks-which-could-rescue-your-portfolio-for-december">financial stocks</a>, which include both banks and insurance companies, to an all-time high in December.
What Happened: According to the Bank of America&#8217;s Global Fund Manager Survey, as reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-allocation-to-us-stocks-hits-record-high-amid-super-bullish-sentiment-bofa-survey-164349535.html">by</a> Yahoo Finance, investors&#8217; allocation to banks increased by 23% points in December compared to the previous month. This resulted in global fund managers being 41% overweight on banking stocks in December, which is the highest since January 2022.
Similarly, the allocation to insurance companies surged by 15% points month-on-month. This represented an overweight position of 20% within the sectors by the global fund managers. It is the highest since February 2014.
Furthermore, the investor positioning relative to their historical long-term positions increased within the financial universe, followed by the U.S. stocks and utilities, according to the BofA survey.
The investors were underweight with respect to their exposure to cash, Eurozone stocks, staples, and bonds.

What Are The Analysts Saying
Mario Georgiou, executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">exclusive conversation with Benzinga</a>, described tax cuts and deregulation as tailwinds to the markets. He considers inflationary policies such as tariffs and immigration impacts as headwinds, leading to a steepening yield curve, and higher term premiums.
"Financials offer an attractive risk-reward and that this recent post-election rally has room to run," added Georgiou. According to him "Financials are not only well positioned to capture the benefits of the above-mentioned Trump tailwinds, but are also less impacted / would even benefit from the Trump headwinds."
Bank of America's global economics team recently summarized the sentiment, stating, "Pro-growth policies like deregulation of financial services and energy, as well as lower taxes, are boosting market sentiment and asset prices."
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden, large-cap banks remain optimistic about the economy. &#8220;Healthy consumer spending trends and strong corporate balance sheets have supported a constructive outlook,&#8221; Ramsden said in a recent note.
The top-performing financial stocks of 2024 include Robinhood Markets, Interactive Brokers Group, Coinbase Global, KKR &amp; Co, and Wells Fargo.

The U.S. has the world&#8217;s largest companies by market capitalization and about two-thirds of the MSCI World Index is dominated by companies based out of America.
What Happened: U.S.-based companies ranking among the world&#8217;s top ten firms by market capitalization include Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
These magnificent seven firms along with Broadcom are the beneficiaries of the U.S. tech and AI boom. The remaining two non-U.S. firms that make up the top ten include Saudi Arabian Oil Co and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMC#NYSE">TSMC</a>).
According to an X post by Kevin Gordon, director and senior investment strategist at Charles Schwab, &#8220;Such an imbalance has not been seen since the late 1980s.&#8221; The data shared by him shows nine out of the top ten companies by market capitalization were based out of the U.S. in the 1980s.
"…the US, with 4% of the world's population, roughly a quarter of global GDP and a third of global profits, now accounts for more than two-thirds of the MSCI World index's capitalization. Such an imbalance has not been seen since the late 1980s…,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Additionally, the top ten constituents in the MSCI World index are U.S.-based firms. This index captures 1,397 large and mid-cap companies across 23 developed markets.
According <a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/178e6643-6ae6-47b9-82be-e1fc565ededb">to</a> MSCI&#8217;s latest release, dated Nov. 29, the U.S. has a weightage of 73.92% in the index, followed by Japan with 5.23%, the United Kingdom with 3.44%, Canada with 3.1% and France with 2.5%.
The index has the highest exposure of 25.29% to information technology companies, followed by 16.3% to financial firms.
