Emerging Market Equity Technicals: Today we’re focusing on the local currency version of the MSCI EM index, so that we can see what is going on in the underlying equity market independent of the action in EMFX (which has itself been very weak vs the US dollar recently). Looking at this version of the index helps us see the true picture of technical strength/weakness.
Along with that I’ve included the 200-day moving average breadth indicator, using local currency indexes for each of the countries that make up the index. Again this is so that we can peer through and detect emerging signs of strength/weakness beyond the headline index.
The key standout in this chart is the index dropping to that lower uptrend line within its longer-term up-trend channel. This has been a key zone for the index to find support in recent years, but it also serves as a risk trigger in that a breach of that line will open up the prospect of further downside.
Meanwhile, the breadth indicator is showing widespread weakness across emerging markets, which along with macro headwinds and the downdrafts in EMFX could well tip the odds in favor of a further push to the downside in the headline index.
While the breadth indicator is close to levels most would consider “oversold”, a more powerful signal would be if it dropped to zero and then turned back up. So while this chart carries some cause for optimism (we are clearly well progressed in the EM bear market), the main message remains one of caution and patience.
Specifically, I will be looking for improved technicals (not yet), more compelling valuations (not yet), more fulsome washout in sentiment (not quite), and a shift in the macro currents (also not yet). So be sure to follow for updates on all of this!
Key point: EM equity technicals suggest caution and patience for now.

Great insights in this article about technical patience in emerging market equities. The way the chart analysis explains market trends and investor behavior makes it easier to understand why patience is important in volatile markets. Posts like this are always useful for readers who follow global financial trends.

Bad messaging completely irritates individuals who may make purchases. Research has indicated that visitors remain hooked much longer when the text on the site is clear. You have to go through more people to find a writer. The said local coffee shop contracted an expensive agency and received decidedly corporate articles that made their chill morning customers feel completely out of place. They had to ditch everything. Hiring Copywriting Services costs you something and that means you must go past the initial offer. There are a few main things that should be checked out before partnering and that will help to eliminate headaches in the future.
