Year to Date Country Returns; US Lags

By Total Trader | Published: 20 May 2009

With global equity markets still in rally mode, below we highlight the year to date performance of the major indices for 83 countries around the world.  After nearly every country was down earlier in the year, 62 out of the 83 are now up in 2009.  Peru is up the most at 72.92%, while Costa Rica is down the most at -39.94%.  And the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries are significantly outperforming the developed G-7 countries.  Russia, India, and China rank 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in terms of year to date performance, and Brazil isn’t far behind in 10th place.  Canada has been the best performing G-7 country with a gain of 12.62% in 2009, but it ranks 35th out of 83.  The rest of the G-7 countries are bunched up in the 0%-5% range, which is closer to the bottom of the list than the top.  And the US is the worst of the seven with gains of less than 1%.  While the markets here in the states have rallied nicely off of their March lows, most other countries have bounced back even more 2009.
