The Buffet Indicator has reached an all-time high.

Often referred to as the Market Cap to GDP ratio, this indicator gained prominence after Warren Buffett called it “probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment.”

To put today’s number in perspective:

• 2000 (Dot-Com Bubble): 144%

• 2007 (Housing Crisis): 107%

• 2021 (Stimulus Rally): 200%

• 2025 (Today): ~210% ← Highest ever recorded

  
  

Traditionally, a range of 70–90% is considered more aligned with long-term economic fundamentals.

This trend is echoed in other metrics:

• S&P 500 to GDP and Dow to GDP ratios are both elevated

• The total value of U.S. public and private companies is now close to 300% of GDP

  
  

At the same time, several macroeconomic pressures are unfolding:

• ~$10T in U.S. sovereign debt will mature in 2025, likely at higher refinancing costs

• Foreign demand for U.S. bonds appears to be slowing

• ~$4T in commercial real estate debt is due within two years, with limited refinancing options

• Inflation, shifting interest rates, and trade dynamics continue to evolve

  
  

Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway is holding a record $347.68 billion in cash, positioning itself for flexibility amid uncertainty.

While no single indicator can predict market outcomes, these trends are worth monitoring closely.

Staying informed, diversified, and long-term oriented remains as important as ever.
