EWA: Australia Lagging Its EAFE Peers, Chart Issues Too
iShares MSCI Australia ETF has underperformed the EAFE Index due to heavy Materials sector exposure and ongoing industrial metals volatility. Valuation is a concern, with EWA trading at a premium P/E and a high PEG ratio despite modest long-term growth. Technical analysis shows EWA struggling below long-term resistance, with no clear bullish momentum and weak seasonal trends ahead.

EWA: I'm Bullish On Australian Economy As We Move Deeper Into 2025
EWA offers investors exposure to Australian equities, providing diversification away from US-centric risks and trade policy uncertainties. I previously identified Australia as a relatively safe non-US option amid concerns about US tariffs and foreign policy volatility. The fund's performance has been reasonable in hindsight, supporting the thesis of value in Australian markets.

Country ETF Dividends
Topping the list and outperforming in that span have been emerging market countries like Brazil and India, which are both up well over 6.5%. International ETFs don't only have momentum on their side, but they also offer higher yields than the US at the current moment. Across all 22 ETFs, the average yield stands at 3.25%.

Australia's key investment markets—stocks, bonds, and real estate—present lucrative opportunities driven by market cycles and liquidity sources. Stocks are poised for an upward breakout, likely within two years, fueled by the explosive phase of the real estate cycle. Bonds offer opportunities in both new high-yield bonds and older low-yield bonds, with potential gains when interest rates decrease.

EWA: Like Bull Case For Australia, As Country Stays Out Of President Trump's Crosshairs
Evaluating iShares MSCI Australia ETF as an investment option at its current market price, tracking Australian equities. Previously cautious on EWA, favoring US, Europe, and Canada, which proved justified as EWA's return has been flat. I now see a buy case emerging, as the equities are cheaper than the S&P 500 and offer a strong dividend yield.
