Conclusion, Investment Implications, Strategy

Over the past several weeks we have been watching an increasing number of global equity indexes outperform the S&P 500 in multiple time periods, including Spain.  See our US vs The World Model for more detail.  The iShares MSCI Spain ETF (EWP) is currently breaking out higher from a month of sideways investor indecision which, if the breakout holds, targets an additional 6% rise to 34.50.  Meanwhile, EWP  is also outperforming the S&P 500 (SPY) on a quarterly basis amid recently expanding investor assets.  As long as these positive factors remain intact, this sets up a relatively low-risk opportunity to buy EWP and Spain related equity assets.
