UPDATE ON MARKETS: What an eventful start to 2021. Between short-squeezes and hedge funds blowing up, volatility was definitely on the forefront during January. FTSE/JSE All Share (JSE) improved by 5.21% during January, bringing the 12-month returns to 14.51%.

2/12

South African Large Caps dominated during January, growing by 5.41%. Mid Caps and Small Caps grew by 2.59% and 3.88%, respectively.

3/12

The FTSE/ JSE All Share (+1.95%) enjoyed a better month than the MSCI All Country World Index (-0.45%) again in USD terms. The 12-month performance for the JSE in USD-terms is now only lagging behind the MSCI ACWI´s performance by 3.7%.

4/12

The #FearandGreed #SouthAfrica #Index moved into GREED territory during January. For those followers who'd like to get more information on the Fear & Greed South African Index, can click here: https://t.co/bYOL5Bz2cf

5/12

Foreigners were net buyers of both SA Equities and Bonds during January. This makes foreigners buyers of SA Equities and Bonds for 3 months in a row now.

#Global #ETF Weekly (thread): 15 Jan 2021

- 2020 worst perf #sector making comeback in 2021 $IXC

- This is helping #oil producing countries with #Nigeria, #UAE & #Russia in top5 #Country ETF YTD performers in USD $NGE $UAE $ERUS

- Few countries moving in red this week

2/8

#Global #Value #stocks still making short-term recovery, with $IWVL #ETF still looking very strong relatively over the short-term. Over 3yr period it is however still lagging quite substantially.

This should be interesting for this months #OrbisvsSP500 unofficial challenge

3/8

This one is worrying, but then again, it's been for some time. #Global #Tech #stocks relative to #MSCI All Country World Index is definitely creating some concern. Be very careful.

$IXN vs $ACWI

4/8

Know this one might create some controversy, therefore disclaimer 1st. I'm also not positive on #US #Bonds over longer-term. But be careful over short-term as $TLT #ETF relative to $SPY indicate oversold (bonds) &/or overbought (equities) & could see profit taking. #stimulus

5/8

This 👆🏼 could be positive for #Gold. Comparing $GLD (gold price) #ETF with $GDX (#Goldminers), one can see that miners getting close to gold ($/oz). Relative not cheap yet & can still see further weakness. Will do separate tech tweet on GDX later. In short wait for $32.20.

#EmergingMarkets #ETF still storming ahead against #DevelopedMarkets ETF, still not relatively "overbought" yet, but getting close.

#SouthAfrica might need a lot of catch up, but $EZA YTD performance in USD (+0.2%) continued 2nd half on 2020 recovery against $URTH (-0.8%)

#Internet companies still big driver on performance, with US Internet Co's #ETF growing 1.8% in January (YTD) in USD versus #MSCI World $URTH losing 0.8% over same period

#Chinese Internet Co's $KWEB however grew 13% in Jan. Wow! That helped #Naspers/#Prosus & also SA $EZA
