US share held steady as the broader market rose in tandem, with structural dominance unchanged.

European Reshuffling May saw notable reshuffling among European markets. The UK climbed three positions to #3 and France two to #2 as both posted +80%-plus MoM gains. Italy advanced two ranks to #6, while Spain slipped one to #8. The European surge was broad-based as the summer season opened.

Top 10 Expansion May's broad-based volume surge lifted the combined top 10 total to 326,095, up sharply from April. Market concentration at 87.13% edged higher amid the rebound, with Switzerland entering the Top 10 (replacing India) as it climbed one position to #10.

Concentration Risk The top 10 countries account for 87.13% of global activity. This elevated concentration across only three continents presents both operational predictability and heightened exposure to localized economic or regulatory disruptions in key markets.
