Emerging markets they have been battered heavily in the last year.
(skip this if you don't want my fundamental take)
The Fed interest hikes have caused US Dollar Strength and a large amount of $ denominated EM debt is becoming unpayable. Along with the Trump Tariffs, this has caused much volatility overseas. The US is making a strong attempt to disrupt international markets and maintain dollar reserve status / supremacy. A strong dollar also helps with the USG running high budget deficit. However I believe it is a short-term gambit that will accelerate de-dollarization around the world. Indeed, even Europe is turning away from the USD, Oil (Iran) is being traded heavily off the dollar system. That said, in order to de-dollarize, one has to first sell or default on dollar based assets, causing dollar based deflation.
Very long term, I think the US Dollar is toast. But meanwhile, it is very strong and a strong deflationary wave is hitting the world.
I'm watching for signs of this deflation turning, I think a relief rally MAY be starting, especially after Powell's comments yesterday. By being above its 50ma, I believe EEM is a stronger chart than US Stocks (QQQ SPY etc). EEM may lead the way in a risk-on, bear market rally.
On the charts, there is a massive trendline resistance to face. It would be a breakout to buy. I do have a small EDC position already, bought two days ago, that's already positive. Hoping for a breakout, but also have break-even stops.
China (FXI) has a similar, very interesting chart setup.
