Скачать или смотреть Global Oligopoly: USA - How Moody’s, S&P & Fitch Locked the World

What do Pepsi & Coke… Android & iOS… and the three Credit Rating Agencies — Moody’s, S&P Global, and Fitch — all have in common? They are global oligopolies.
A global oligopoly is a rare kind of market where the entire world depends on just a few companies, and no new player can easily enter. These giants control pricing, set standards, and influence how entire economies operate.

In this video, we break down why Credit Rating Agencies became one of the world’s strongest oligopolies, and more importantly — why only the US trio could achieve global dominance. We explore the massive entry barriers: regulatory licences like the US NRSRO, decades of historical default data, global trust networks, issuer–investor acceptance loops, and the huge cost of building worldwide analytical teams.

You’ll also learn why US CRAs enjoy a permanent moat: the world’s largest bond market, regulatory dependence on their ratings, integration into global banking rules, and network effects that lock the entire financial system into their assessments.

By the end of this video, you’ll understand how three US companies rate the world, and why replacing them is virtually impossible.

Hi, I’m Sri 👋

I’ve been trading since 2009, with hands-on experience across equity, futures & options, commodities, real estate, precious metals, and crypto. Over the years, I’ve actively traded in major exchanges like MCX, NSE, and NYSE, with a footprint in India, the US, and the UAE.

Academically, I hold a B.Sc. (Math Hons), M.Sc. (Math), and M.Tech. (Computer Science). Professionally, I started my career in a startup out of IIT Madras, working on protocol stack development, went on to consult in the Telecom space, and later worked at Microsoft as a Program Manager.

I am not certified by SEBI or SEC—I trade and invest purely in an individual capacity. I also share insights and learnings on a mentorship basis, drawn from real market experience rather than formal certification.

If you’re looking to understand markets, risk, and wealth-building in a practical and relatable way, you’re in the right place. 🚀
