June 24, 2008 - Courtesy of Bespoke Investment Group - The recent selloff in equities has really spared no one. As shown in our trading range charts below of 22 major country indices, the trend has been down across the board in recent weeks. Even Brazil, Mexico and Russia, who had all held up relatively well this year, have sold off quite a bit. Currently, 19 of the 22 countries are trading in oversold territory (Canada, Japan and Russia are neutral). European countries like France, Germany and Italy have really taken it on the chin, while China and India remain the biggest losers in 2008. After forming short-term uptrends off of the March lows, global equity markets have now lost most of their gains and are looking to move back into downtrends.
