Keep in mind that the stock market is only one part of the financial markets. There’s treasury (Tbill),forex, bond, metals, and derivatives of all of these(futures/swaps etc) and then other instruments used for hedging. All of these markets directly affect the movement of money all around the world.

Also keep in mind that most trades are executed with a hedge in place to prevent losses. The market is rarely a case of bet a million on black trades. That said my knowledge is comes from knowing how energy and metals are traded.
