Event summary
The iShares MSCI World ETF has reached a new 52-week high, surging 33% but showing an extremely overbought RSI of 94.6. This comes as the ETF faces significant headwinds including rising inflation, the appointment of a new hawkish Fed chair, and a major index reconstruction requiring extensive rebalancing. The fund's concentration in tech stocks and potential tariffs on healthcare add further volatility risks, questioning the sustainability of its rally amidst fee pressure from competitors.
