GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – August 18, 2018

Global Equity Markets continue to remain in a range. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) is possibly forming a 6 month-long symmetrical triangle with the upper boundary acting as resistance at 74 and the lower boundary as support at 70.5 levels. Breakout from this lengthy consolidation range will result in a directional move.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – June 23, 2018

REVIEW


Once again the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) reverted back to its 200-day (40-week) moving average. The long-term average at 71.40 levels is also the lower boundary of the 4 month-long symmetrical triangle chart pattern. Breakout from the last 4 month's consolidation will be important for Global equity markets performance. A breakdown below the lower boundary of the 4 month-long symmetrical triangle will push the ACWI ETF below its long-term average, possibly reversing the last 2 year's uptrend. Following charts review the Emerging and Frontier Market ETFs that are already trading below their long-term averages. The boundaries of consolidation for the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF remains between 74.3 and 71.4 levels.

REVIEW


Global equity markets is getting closer to a strong directional movement. Tight consolidations on both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF suggest breakouts can result in a trend period. Consolidations are followed by trends and vice versa. Both ACWI and EEM are trading above their long-term moving averages and inside the boundaries of multi-month long uptrend channels. Breakdown below the long-term averages and the lower boundary of trend channels can result in a larger scale correction. At this point, with the current available information, we can conclude that the long-term uptrend is still intact. We are very close to the completion of last quarter's tight consolidation.

REVIEW


Global equity markets remain in an uptrend. The iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF is trading above its long-term average. Over the past 2 years the ETF has been moving in an upward trend channel. However, past 4 month's price action is now becoming more clear as a sideways consolidation. The ACWI ETF is possibly forming a 4 month-long symmetrical triangle with the upper boundary acting as resistance at 73.9 and support at 71.2 levels. Until the recent consolidation is resolved in one direction we will expect more choppy price action. A breakdown will confirm the 4 month-long symmetrical triangle as a bearish continuation chart pattern. Such price action will also take out the lower boundary of the trend channel and the 200-day (40 week) moving average and suggest lower prices. A decisive break above 73.90 levels will keep the long-term uptrend intact and push the ACWI ETF towards 77-78 area (previous high).

We are seeing a decoupling in terms of performance in the Global Equity Markets. Developed markets continue to remain strong whereas Emerging markets start to weaken. The charts below show both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF in a steady uptrend. However, over the past few weeks, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF managed to rebound from its long-term average but the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF struggled around the strong support area. Failure to recover from strong support area can result in a breakdown and larger scale correction for the Emerging Markets. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF is testing the 200-day (40 week) moving average.

REVIEW


Global equities experienced renewed strength during the week. Weekly candles on both the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF opened at the lowest and closed at the highest point suggesting buyers domination throughout the week. ACWI ETF is breaking out of its 4 month-long tight consolidation. The benchmark for Global equity markets performance has been in a steady uptrend. Recent tight consolidation took place above the long-term average and the lower boundary of its 2 year-long trend channel. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index weighed down by U.S. Dollar strength, still managed to hold on to its 200 day (40 week) average and rebounded from the lower boundary of its 2 year-long uptrend. Both ETFs are in a steady uptrend.
