GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – August 29, 2020
REVIEW
The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) resumed its uptrend. Last three month's price action can be identified as a rising channel. Price is trying to remain inside the trend channel and so far the price remained above the 200-day average. Uptrend is intact. The 200-day moving average is forming support at 74.4 levels. Breakdown below the lower boundary of possible trend channel can result in a pullback towards the 200-day average at 74.4 levels. Volatility is low and we can expect another trend period soon. If it is a correction with the breakdown of the trend channel, it should develop fast, towards 74.4 levels. The ETF breached its pre-pandemic high at 82 levels. Though it could be early to call this a breakout.
