Russia redux, Tues., August 2, 2005, 11:03 AM

Yesterday I made a point of how rapidly the U.S. Smallcap market (i.e., VBR) has been rising in recent months. This chart illustrates the point I made in the last article, in that the Russian market has been a terrific performer. The RTS Index has far surpassed the gains in VBR since May 17.

Both markets, however, are topping in terms of momentum indicators. With interest rates rising, I anticipate softening equity prices any day now.
