Joy to the World and These 5 Developed Market ETFs
Countries around the world are flush with their respective holiday décor as Christmas is two weeks away, but as volatility continues to shake the U.S. stock market, certain investors are singing, "Joy to the World" with international exposure via developed market exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The U.S.-China trade wars have gotten the best of international markets, emerging and developed, for the majority of 2018, but lately, news outlets have been drizzling the capital markets with positive news on trade talks between the two economic superpowers progressing in the right direction. The markets got a much-needed boost Tuesday on renewed optimism that a permanent trade deal between the United States and China was progressing based on a Bloomberg report that China would slash the current 15 percent tariff on cars to 40 percent.

7 Reasons the Stock Market Is Selling Off
It has gotten downright ugly out there. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has been dancing in and out of correction territory and is down about 8% from its all-time highs at time of writing. It's also barely in positive territory in 2018. It doesn't get any prettier when you look at other corners of the market. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is up a meager 4% in 2018, but of more concern is that it's down 12% from its late-summer highs, putting it well into official correction territory. And when you drill down to the major players that have led the bull market in tech shares for years - the "FAANG" stocks Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX) and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) - it's a bona fide bloodbath. Facebook has lost more than a third of its value from its highs, and Netflix isn't far behind. Apple has been sliced by a quarter. Amazon has shed nearly 20% of its value, as has Alphabet. The picture doesn't get prettier overseas. Chinese stocks are in an official bear market, and the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA), a proxy for developed international stocks, is flirting with bear-market territory. We know it's ugly out there; the question is why. The first-quarter selloff shook out many of the less committed holders, meaning remaining investors should have been a little harder to rattle. And earnings still look strong, as does the health of the economy. So, what gives? It's rarely just one thing. Selloffs almost always have multiple, sometimes overlapping, drivers. Here are seven of those reasons - including which ones could threaten the market further. SEE ALSO: 7 Stocks Wall Street Is Souring on Right Now
