American and European Technology, Basic Materials, Industrials, and Consumer sectors have the most sales exposure to China. These sectors are likely to reap the greatest benefit from RMB appreciation. While stocks exposed to China outperformed in 2009, several still trade at attractive valuations, and they could see further gains based on the effect of the RMB de-peg on their sales.

Is a double-dip recession unavoidable? Since the current US economic expansion began, some people have been insisting that the US economy will fall back into recession in light of the hurdles it faces after enduring one of its most acute financial crises. However, the likelihood of a double-dip recession is very low and, even if it can’t be completely discarded, none of the indicators that normally support such a conclusion are present: no interest rate rise, no yield curve inversion, no oil price increase, and no decay in corporate profits.

From 1980 to 2005 commodity prices remained rangebound. Thirty years earlier, from 1952 to 1972, something similar had happened. However, two different and distinct price jumps occurred between and after those two periods. The symmetry of these four periods is not, curiously enough, mirrored by economic growth. Is the pattern set to repeat?

While many believe that the Chinese market is experiencing a manageable boom, there are others who argue that it is a bubble waiting to burst. This study focuses on Chinese macroeconomic fundamentals in general, and the real estate sector in particular, to evaluate the possibility of a credit-driven property bubble in China.

This country ranking study analyzes five core national economic metrics (real GDP growth, unemployment, terms of trade, current account balance, and net direct investment flow) — variables with a high degree of independence — that are key indicators of investment attractiveness. We attempt to identify which economies are emerging as new economic powerhouses in the wake of the 2007-09 financial crisis.
