EWI has just released a new report, Deflation and the Devaluation Derby, to help investors prepare now for the deflationary threat they see around the corner. Click here to read the new report >>

China's economy is slowing. Its stock market began to crash back in July. And the volatility rocking financial markets has been widely linked to the recent yuan devaluations by China's central bank.

"Surprise" has been a common word used by investors and financial pundits to describe the devaluation -- as in, "China's central bank surprise devaluation of yuan."

But what if we told you it wasn't a surprise -- it was in fact an expected event?

Below are three excerpts from analysis that EWI's own Chris Carolan published in his Sun-Tue-Thu Asian-Pacific Short Term Update on July 30 (several days before China's central bank first move to devalue the yuan against the U.S. dollar), then on Aug. 9 and Aug.11 (bold added).

The way we see it, the return of such headlines in January supports another significant low now -- from a contrarian perspective.

EWI's Asian-Pacific Short Term Update editor Chris Carolan soon echoed those bullish views. Here is a forecast the APSTU made for India's Nifty Index on March 4:

The intraday Keltner channel slope is steep, indicating this trend has enough strength for sharp short-term gains.

You've already picked up on the indicators we used to turn bullish on emerging markets in general, and on India in particular: Continue reading "Indian Stocks: You Want a REAL Opportunity? Know WHEN to Look for It" →
