The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF, which covers 39 stocks, has underperformed its EM peers and global stocks this year.

Despite a Q2 Mexican GDP rebound, forward-looking business and consumer confidence remain weak, and monetary easing tailwinds have faded.
Although not uniform across the region, a number of Latin American equity markets have outperformed the S&P 500 year to date (YTD). Emerging markets in Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and elsewhere have all beaten the S&P's 9% YTD returns, thanks to a combination of factors, including higher prices for certain commodities, growing AI-related demand for outputs such as copper, lithium, and nickel, and favorable company valuations.
I am revisiting the iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW), which has outperformed the S&P 500 and maintained strong momentum into 2026.

Geopolitical risks at the U.S.-Mexico border have not materially impacted goods flow, supporting EWW's continued strength.
