Recent data from the UBS Global Wealth Report 2026 shows different wealth trends in Australia and the United States. It also provides a detailed look at how the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) performed during the 2026 financial year.

根據 UBS 2026 年全球財富報告的最新數據，澳洲與美國的財富趨勢有所不同。該報告還詳細分析了澳洲證券交易所 (ASX) 在 2026 財政年度的表現。

In terms of global wealth, Australia now has the third-highest median adult wealth in the world, following only Luxembourg and Belgium. This growth was caused by rising house prices and strong international stock markets, which helped 25,000 more people become millionaires. In contrast, the United States shows a huge gap between average and median wealth. Although the U.S. holds 35.7 percent of global private wealth, the median wealth per adult has actually fallen since 2020. This suggests that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy households.

在全球財富方面，澳洲目前的成年人財富中位數排名全球第三，僅次於盧森堡與比利時。這一增長是由於房價上漲和國際股市強勁，使多出 2.5 萬人成為百萬富翁。相比之下，美國在平均財富與中位數財富之間存在巨大差距。儘管美國持有全球 35.7% 的私人財富，但每位成年人的中位數財富自 2020 年以來實際上有所下降。這顯示財富集中在少數富裕家庭手中。

Meanwhile, the Australian stock market remained flat in 2026, with a small gain of less than 2.8 percent. When adjusted for inflation, this is actually a loss. This performance was much weaker than international markets like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, which grew by 20.8 percent and 28.7 percent. The ASX 200 struggled because of big losses in healthcare companies and software stocks, such as Wisetech, which fell by 70 percent due to AI competition and leadership problems.

與此同時，澳洲股市在 2026 年表現持平，僅小幅增長不到 2.8%。若經通貨膨脹調整後，實際上是虧損的。這一表現遠低於 S&P 500 和 NASDAQ 等國際市場，後者分別增長了 20.8% 和 28.7%。ASX 200 表現不佳是因為醫療保健公司和軟體股（例如 Wisetech）損失慘重，Wisetech 因 AI 競爭與領導層問題導致股價下跌 70%。

However, some sectors remained strong. Mining companies with gold and copper, such as BHP and Rio Tinto, performed well. Furthermore, some small technology and speculative firms saw huge increases. For example, 4D Medical rose by 1700 percent, and Electro Optic Systems grew by 277 percent because countries are spending more on military equipment to stop drones.

然而，部分產業依然強勁。經營金與銅的礦業公司（如 BHP 和 Rio Tinto）表現良好。此外，部分小型科技與投機公司出現大幅增長。例如 4D Medical 飆升 1700%，Electro Optic Systems 則增長 277%，主因是各國增加軍事設備開支以對抗無人機。

Australia continues to have high median wealth despite a weak local stock market, whereas the United States is seeing a growing gap between the rich and the poor despite being the world's largest wealth hub.

儘管本地股市疲軟，澳洲仍維持較高財富中位數；而美國雖然是全球最大的財富中心，但貧富差距卻日益擴大。
