EM Outflows Ebb, but Challenges Remain

“Taking a look at the chart, you’ll notice that the price recently failed to break above the key resistance of its 50-day moving average. In technical analysis, it is not uncommon to see a bounce off of a key level of resistance and this level is used by many bearish traders for determining the placement of their stop-loss orders. To make matters worse for the bulls, you’ll also find that the 50-day moving average recently crossed below its 200-day moving average,” according to Investopedia.

According to a monthly fund manager survey from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, exposure to emerging market stocks remained at a record low, reports Dhara Ranasinghe for CNBC.
