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 As An Investing Opportunity: Stocks, Bonds And Real Estate
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.

EWA: Downshifting Australia To Neutral Heading Into 2025 (Rating Downgrade)
Australian stocks have done well in 2024, although they have not kept pace with the S&P 500. I see some positives "down under", including a rising labor force participation rate and growing wages. However, there are headwinds that concern me more. These include richly priced valuations and an earnings season for banks that is likely to disappoint.
