Emerging market stocks appear to be in trouble as investors look to the new year and try to unveil potential themes for 2025.
Underscoring the downward price action are plummeting interest rates in China.
Economic issues in China would be troubling for emerging markets (and the global economy).
Today we look at a simple chart of the MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) to highlight the recent decline and concerns.

$EEM Emerging Markets ETF Chart
As you can see, the entire 4th quarter has seen EEM peak (47.44) before forming and trading within a falling price channel. EEM is currently trading below all 3 major moving averages an only a move back above them would neutralize sellers/bears. Keep an eye on economic data out of China… could become an early (bearish) theme in 2025.
