Further Declines in DXY, Sovereign Yields May Provide More Fuel for a Rally in Global Equities
- In our two previous Int’l Compass reports (Aug. 18 & 24) we discussed that we were buyers on the pullback to the major $93 support level on MSCI ACWI (ACWI-US).
- $93 on ACWI is 1+ year base support and a level that coincides with the 10-month uptrend. We remain bullish as long as the ACWI-US is above $93.
- $93 on ACWI-US is likely the low for this pullback as long as the 10-year Treasury yield and DXY can stay below respective resistance levels (4.3%-4.35% and $103.70-$105.70).
Better than Zero? But Limitations of One Female Board Member to Influence Board Decision-Making
- It’s debatable whether to view the gradual increase in the percentage of female executives as a positive or a negative that it is so much lower than in other countries.
- This issue should be considered from the shareholder’s perspective, and the ratio of female board members should be increased if it is considered positive for the company’s management.
- While there are many things that companies should do to increase the ratio of female managers, there are also significant issues that society as a whole needs to address.
