Mexico and its exchange traded fund (ETF) are feeling down in the dumps, but its outpacing some other regions.
The iShares Mexico Fund (EWW) has fared better than Europe, Russia, Asia, Canada, Australia and Brazil to name a few, so what gives? It could be that although growth is slow, it is steady and consistent. Another reason some big dips might have been avoided is that Mexico has kept its interest rates high enough to do battle with inflation.
