#Global#Value#stocks still making short-term recovery, with $IWVL #ETF still looking very strong relatively over the short-term. Over 3yr period it is however still lagging quite substantially.
This should be interesting for this months #OrbisvsSP500 unofficial challenge
3/8
This one is worrying, but then again, it's been for some time. #Global#Tech#stocks relative to #MSCI All Country World Index is definitely creating some concern. Be very careful.
$IXN vs $ACWI
4/8
Know this one might create some controversy, therefore disclaimer 1st. I'm also not positive on #US#Bonds over longer-term. But be careful over short-term as $TLT #ETF relative to $SPY indicate oversold (bonds) &/or overbought (equities) & could see profit taking. #stimulus
5/8
This 👆🏼 could be positive for #Gold. Comparing $GLD (gold price) #ETF with $GDX (#Goldminers), one can see that miners getting close to gold ($/oz). Relative not cheap yet & can still see further weakness. Will do separate tech tweet on GDX later. In short wait for $32.20.
6/8
Back to #Bonds. #EmergingMarkets Government Bonds still lagging #Global Government Bonds. Yield seekers might use possible 'risk-on' environment to start buying EM bonds.
$EMB vs $IGLO
7/8
#Global#Financials#ETF, very similar to #Value ETF, are making quite the comeback relative to #MSCI All Country World Index. Still however have a MASSIVE gap to fill, which could take some time. IMHO, it's still an opportunity.
$IXG vs $ACWI
8/8
And then finally, #EmergingMarkets#ETF still storming ahead against #DevelopedMarkets ETF, still not relatively "overbought" yet, but getting close.
#SouthAfrica however still lagging in 2021, with $EZA YTD performance in USD of +0.2% vs DM's $URTH +1% & EM's +5.2%.

UPDATE ON MARKETS: Interesting month indeed. Although JSE ended November down 1.8% in ZAR, this was mainly due to Rand strength, while it actually improved 1.3% in USD. This brings YTD returns in ZAR to 8.5% & 12mth returns to 13.1%. SA Property increased 0.8%. Local Bonds flat.

First quarter of 2019 done & dusted. Although $JALSH increased by 7.97% YTD, avg return of all $JTopi stocks, for example (+1.37%), paints a totally different picture. Local Property took another beating in March, with $SAPY losing a further 1.46% of its value during the month.
Part 2 - Most of the performance came from Large Caps (up 8.45% YTD), with Mid Caps only growing by 2.76% over the same period, while Small Caps lost a further 3.41% in 2019 thus far.
Part 3 - Foreigners were net buyers of SA Equities in March. This was the first time since June 2018 that they were not net sellers.
