GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – August 24, 2024
REVIEW
The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) experienced a sharp pullback to its long-term average and a similar rebound. So far the price action can be analyzed as a steady uptrend. Short-term corrections and consolidations are part of any strong uptrend and should be expected with this ETF as well. Stability above the 200-day average can result in a drop in volatility and offer long entry conditions with better defined chart patterns. Many benchmarks tested their 200-day averages. Stocks or indices that hold well in such environment will be the first ones to resume higher when momentum returns. Strong support area for ACWI ETF is between 110.45 and 107.4. Short-term resistance area is between 114.7 and 116.7. It has been a steep rebound and the ETF might consolidate last 2 week’s gains. Friday’s close is not a confirmed breakout to new highs. I see it as a violation of previous high.
