FCA - China Emerging Markets Lead 2019 Rebound For Global Equities
Across-the-board gains continue to mark this year's results for global equity markets, based on a set of exchange-traded funds that track the world's major regions and countries. At the top of the performance list so far in 2019: stocks in China, Latin America and Africa.
The strongest increase year to date is currently held by iShares MSCI China (MCHI), which is up 13.6% through yesterday's close (Feb. 21). After suffering a sharp loss in 2018, the ETF has rallied this year and on Thursday closed above its 200-day moving average for a second straight day.
