World Indices Overbought…
Good Morning.
Outside of the Dow and Japan, most of the world indices are overbought with the ConnorsRSI reading on our Country Fund ETF Universe showing a reading of just above 75. Some of the overbought markets are bear market rallies in ETFs under their 200 day. Sometimes this is an early sign that the overall world will be rallying over the next few months but the it’s best to wait until these countries get above their 200 day ma before declaring this a global bull market.
Right now there is still a tremendous amount of money in cash, especially in hedge funds which can easily leverage this money at any time. Their defensive nature hasn’t seen to hurt their industry even though Bloomberg Magazine recently featured the fact that only 6 major hedge funds in the world outperformed the S&P last year (that’s right, 6). Should the hedge funds begin turning bullish, there will be a major “melt-up” in equity prices.
