Int'l real estate ETF has broken the downtrend.
Emerging market bonds are showing a little too much exuberance for my taste. I don't think long term investors should be selling but I sure wouldn't chase them higher.

Brazilian small caps are leading.
Chile still making new highs.
Emerging market ETF back above the 200 day MA.
Israel is a bit of a laggard but I still like the fundamentals. It might play catch up.

Thai ETF makes a new high.
