Bullish sentiment toward the Chinese economy propelled the yuan to its best week against the dollar since December, while an index of blue-chip Chinese shares (Shanghai 50) soared by more than 15% to its highest level in five years. Jawboning by the Chinese government through a state-sponsored journal on the importance of "fostering a healthy bull market" helped spur the move, said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank (NAB), in a research note.
"Shades of John F. Kennedy's, 'Ask not what your country can do for you' inauguration speech here and as close as you might get to a Chinese government 'put' as anything the Fed has done to date vis-à-vis the U.S. stock (and credit) markets," he said in his description of the Chinese report.
Investors seeing China and emerging markets as a new opportunity are putting aside the worrying rise in COVID-19 cases and opting for the positive narrative taking hold in developing economies. Here's why. China's economy probably returned to growth in the second quarter, and that data will be released this Thursday -- that gross domestic product expanded by 2.2%, following the historic 6.8% collapse in the first quarter.
"China's domestic fundamentals look increasingly solid," Goldman strategists, including New York-based Zach Pandl, wrote in a note. "Growth remains sturdy, the virus is reportedly under control, the trade surplus has expanded and both equity markets and interest rates are moving higher."
Almost out of nowhere, shares of the most actively traded emerging market security -- iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) bolted up and through their 200-day moving average with the 20- and 50-day moving averages in the process of forming a "golden cross" pattern. This is a textbook bullish formation that points to further gains ahead.

So much for last week's rhetoric about the Phase Two part of the trade deal with China not materializing. The market doesn't seem to care.
For the uninitiated in this sector, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index stands for Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) and is an index used to measure equity market performance in global emerging markets. It is just one index created by MSCI, which has been constructing and maintaining them since the late 1960s.
According to its fact sheet, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 26 emerging market countries. With 1,385 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. Hence, it is the best gauge for measuring a broad global economic recovery.
The index is most heavily weighted in China at 31.55%, South Korea at 12.37%, Taiwan at 10.83%, India at 8.97%, Brazil at 7.65% and the remaining countries at 28.63%. The top 10 holdings noted below represent about 28% of total assets.

So, while this new-found love for emerging markets is springing up like wildflowers, it also presents new opportunities for income-oriented investors who are looking for yield with a fresh tailwind. Having traded debt from several markets outside the United States, the biggest obstacle is getting good and reliable information. Researching foreign entities is a tall order and data-driven research is not readily available. | | Arizona Man Develops Coronavirus Kryptonite I wish I had news about a vaccine for this deadly disease, but that still looks a long way off. But this is certainly the next best thing… a "cure-all" for the daily damage the coronavirus is doing to your retirement prospects.
One Arizona man has found an easy way to bank himself huge, ongoing profits from all the craziness and volatility in today's stock market. What's his secret? Join him now for a live update and join him in feasting on this frenetic market! | | | To keep it simple for the retail investor, I suggest considering exchange-traded funds (ETFs) where those companies do have the internal research staff to ferret out the best income-based opportunities and balance yield with risk-on growth potential. To this end, there are a few emerging market dividend ETFs that are all down more than 15% year-to-date that offer compelling yields where fund flows have turned suddenly bullish.
iShares Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (DVYE) -- Yield 7.05%
Global X MSCI SuperDividend Emerging Markets ETF (SDEM) -- Yield 6.44%
WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund (DEM) -- Yield 5.44%
SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (EDIV) -- Yield 4.93%
Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF (FNDE) -- Yield 4.03%
The chart below of the iShares Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (DVYE) is indicative of the lag that dividend stocks have relative to growth stocks. This has also been true in the U.S. market for 2020 where growth stocks have far outperformed almost all sub-sectors of dividend-paying stocks. DVYE's chart mirrors that of almost all the emerging market dividend ETF and mutual fund charts.
Let's just say the party just might be getting started for what has been a sector sorely lagging the torrid bond rally in sovereigns and investment-grade credits.
I personally have no positions in any of these ETFs, at least not yet. I'd like to see if the jawboning rhetoric coming out of China's central bank, People's Bank of China (PBOC), will be backed up by hard data due out later this week. If so, then these and other emerging-market-dividend ETFs and mutual funds, of which there are a few dozen, might be a great trade for income investors looking to buy into a market trading at a steep discount. | | Sincerely,
