Firm of the great Ray Dalio buys Taiwan-focused ETF Continue reading...
While U.S. markets pause, there could be opportunities in international investments, and health care stocks are becoming more attractive.
Bullish chart patterns on key assets suggest that Taiwan will be the region to watch over the remainder of 2019 and likely into 2020.
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China are weighing on Taiwanese stocks as highlighted by a month-to-date decline of more than 3% for the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) .

Taiwanese stock are often among the least volatile in the emerging markets space and the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) is up 13% year-to-date, but the global investors don't appear enthusiastic about the country's equity market.

The U.S.-China trade impasse could put Taiwan into the forefront, according to Zhiqun Zhu, a professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University. Zhu said Taiwan could be used as a major "chess piece" for the U.S. in ongoing trade negotiations, which could put the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) in play. “Taiwan’s value to the U.S. will only increase as tensions between the U.S. and China escalate,” Zhu told CNBC.
