Yet for financial observers, the most compelling question isn\u2019t who lifts the trophy, but what this massive global spectacle does to host economies and financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The honest answer is far less than organizers promise. For the first time, FIFA is operating the tournament directly rather than outsourcing to national federations, capturing almost all major revenue streams. While FIFA is projected to pocket close to $9 billion (including $3.9 billion in broadcasting and over $3 billion in ticketing), host cities are left footing the bills. Collectively, US host cities face shortfalls running into hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York illustrates this financial imbalance. The city comptroller estimated that even if FIFA\u2019s projection of 1.2 million regional visitors materialized, the resulting $55 million in additional tax revenue would be entirely wiped out by $70 million in municipal costs for policing, emergency management, and local support. This deficit is the norm. Research from the University of Toronto indicates that 12 of the last 14 World Cups resulted in net economic losses for host regions, while broader historical data shows that over 80% of mega-sporting events run a deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the tournament still brings localized boosts. Relying on existing venues has minimized the massive construction risks of past tournaments. The immediate beneficiaries are obvious: hospitality, retail, and transit. A prime example occurred in Boston, where Scotland\u2019s traveling fans, the Tartan Army, famously drank the local Sam Adams Taproom dry\u2014consuming four times its normal holiday weekend volume. But these gains are concentrated and fleeting.&nbsp;<em>Tartan Army<\/em>&nbsp;agotaron todas las existencias de cerveza del Sam Adams Taproom, consumiendo cuatro veces m\u00e1s de lo habitual durante un fin de semana festivo. Sin embargo, estos beneficios son muy localizados y de corta duraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mientras tanto, los mercados financieros tambi\u00e9n muestran peque\u00f1os efectos previsibles. Un estudio publicado en el&nbsp;Journal of Money, Credit and Banking&nbsp;concluy\u00f3 que la actividad burs\u00e1til cae significativamente durante los partidos de la selecci\u00f3n nacional de un pa\u00eds: el n\u00famero de operaciones disminuye un 45% y el volumen negociado un 55%, ya que la atenci\u00f3n de los inversores se traslada al terreno de juego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s, una investigaci\u00f3n del&nbsp;Journal of Finance&nbsp;identific\u00f3 un claro efecto psicol\u00f3gico. Cuando una selecci\u00f3n queda eliminada del Mundial, la bolsa de ese pa\u00eds registra al d\u00eda siguiente una rentabilidad anormal cercana a -0,49%. Por el contrario, los mercados de los pa\u00edses campeones suelen superar al resto del mundo entre un 3,5% y un 5,5% durante el mes posterior a la final, aunque ese impulso normalmente desaparece antes de cumplirse un a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, these anomalies do not form a viable trading strategy. Trading volumes may thin and decisions may be delayed, but markets have weathered much larger macro disruptions recently without losing their footing. Once the final whistle blows, daily life will resume, host cities will tally their deficits, and the financial markets will carry on exactly as they did before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We would like to thank <a href=\"https:\/\/news.dominion-cs.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dominion Capital Strategies<\/a> <\/strong>for writing this content and sharing it with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Sources: <\/strong>Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Marketwatch, MSCI. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Copyright<\/strong> \u00a9 2023 Dominion Capital Strategies, All rights reserved.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong>The views expressed in this article are those of the author as of the date of publication and do not necessarily reflect those of <strong>Dominion Capital Strategies Limited<\/strong> or its related companies.
