Emerging Markets - A Breakout Accompanied by a Surge in New Highs and Rising LEI's

Dean Christians
2021-01-13
The Emerging Markets Index (MXEF) recently broke out of a long basing formation accompanied by a surge in new highs and rising LEI's.

"When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do, sir?" - John Maynard Keynes


As measured by the MSCI Index (MXEF), emerging markets recently broke out of a long base formation. I want to highlight two noticeable developments around the breakout that caught my eye in today's note. 


New highs for the MXEF Index recently surged above 15%. As the chart below indicates, this is the highest level since 2010.  Breakouts, accompanied by strong internal participation, are a welcome development.


While short-term returns are weak, they get better as we approach the 1-year timeframe.



If I compare the average and median returns 1-year later versus the S&P 500, one can see a significantly better relative return profile for EM.

S&P 500



The second noticeable development around emerging markets that caught my eye has to do with Leading Economic Indicators from the OECD. While the signal occurred last year, I thought it was important to highlight it alongside the recent new highs surge. I measure the percentage of LEI's rising on a month over month basis for 13 Countries. As shown in the chart below, the number of Countries with a rising LEI spiked to 100% on the most recent buy signal. 2009 was the last time this measure had a reading of 100%.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
