🔎 Global Markets Have Finally Earned Their Seat

Global markets are on the move—and for the first time in years, investors are giving international stocks a second look.

The MSCI EAFE fund—which tracks companies outside the Americas—has finally broken above its pre-financial crisis highs. That’s a milestone investors have been waiting more than 15 years to see. And it’s not just a small pop—this is a technical breakout with plenty of open sky above it.

Look at some of the standouts:

• Greece $GREK: +69% this year
• Poland $EPOL: +60%
• Spain $EWP: +52%
• Vietnam $VNM: +50%

These aren’t the usual suspects, and that’s what makes it interesting. These markets have been asleep for over a decade—and now they’re waking up in a big way.

If history’s any guide, these kinds of moves tend to mark the start of new secular trends… not the end of them.
