Global Equity Rally Sees Highest Share of Record Highs Since 2007

The assessment is 'likely_true' with high confidence based on direct and corroborating evidence from the provided sources. The most significant piece of evidence is a social media post from The Kobeissi Letter, a financial analysis publication, which directly and explicitly states that the percentage of global equity markets reaching record highs is at its 'strongest level since the 2007 peak.' While the authority of a social media post is moderate, its relevance is extremely high as it addresses the exact claim.This central claim is supported by the context provided by other high-authority sources. The Merrill Lynch Capital Market Outlook is a highly credible secondary source that analyzes precisely this type of market trend, making the claim plausible and within the realm of standard financial analysis. A LinkedIn post from a CFA charterholder, while low in authority and lacking the 2007 comparison, corroborates the idea that a very high proportion (52%) of global stocks are currently at all-time highs.There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources. Several high-authority sources were deemed irrelevant because their scope was too narrow (e.g., focusing only on U.S. stocks, China's market, or hedge funds) or entirely off-topic (e.g., software complexity, nickel prices). The absence of contradiction from any relevant source strengthens the assessment. Therefore, the direct claim from a relevant publication, supported by the context of other sources and a lack of opposing data, makes the original statement very likely to be true.
