Women are leading the world in the different fields. Women by nature tends to be a planner. and there’s no question that planning trades yields better results. Even in the finance markets like forex, stock, commodities or cryptocurrencies, women are reaching new heights. The fact that women all around the world are becoming self independent. So they enjoy control over their money as a result, their participation in trading or investing increases.

According to reports, 20% of forex and 5% of crypto traders are women. And if we talk about the US stock market, 15% of traders are female, as per a report published in 2021. Further, a report highlights that in 2023, 60% of women in the United States have invested in the stock market; the percentage was 44% in 2018. As per data, overall women account for 12 to 15% of participation in the trading industry.

The percentage of women participation in the market compared to males is very low. And many people may find these reports depressing. However, considering the gender disparities globally, the ratio is not that bad. Further, I recently read a report stating that 77% of Gen Z women invest in the stock market.

That means that even after gender disparities and restrictions, women participate in the market. The percentage in each market is increasing as compared to the past years. So, definitely, women’s contribution to finance is growing. And the finance world offers women traders great opportunities to grow and shine.
