Quote: "When the dow surges, ewz surges because MSCI Brazilian Market Index is also going up
When the dow fell 3% intraday a few thursdays ago so did EWZ and MSCI Brazilian Market Index but to a greater degree. "
So because of the uni-directional trading events a few thursdays ago, we can go ahead and draw a broad based conclusion that Brazil and the Dow are linked. Why bother doing a historical analysis dating back 1, 3, 5, or more years? Why bother doing any kind of correlation modeling, let's just put blanket statements out there? This is fantastic reading.
