Global market leadership may be shifting again as trade tensions escalate, the U.S. dollar trades at multi-year lows, and gold at all-time highs. This brings back for the second time this year the quest for the best international ETFs. The most recent global outlook from the IMF points to ongoing strengths in emerging markets and developing economies vs. the U.S. and other advanced economies in 2026.
iShares MSCI Israel ETF (EIS) remains a compelling buy, especially if peace in the Middle East holds and regional integration advances. EIS benefits from Israel's robust tech and finance sectors, which could see renewed growth as international pressures ease. Valuation is attractive with a PE ratio around 12, and peace could further drive sales, margins, and future dividend growth for EIS holdings.

Joe Terranova, Senior Managing Director for Virtus Investment Partners, joins CNBC's "Halftime Report" to detail his latest sells.
EIS has delivered strong returns, supported by robust economic growth, low valuations, and a favorable currency environment. Despite the Iran conflict, Israeli markets have shown resilience, with limited long-term impact from geopolitical events historically. I rate EIS a 'hold' at current highs, preferring to buy on a 10% pullback near $80 for better risk-reward.
Highlights: As part of the permitting process for the Novador Project, Probe Gold has awarded the Environmental Impact Assessment/Statement (EIA/EIS) contract to WSP. The completed EIA/EIS will form the cornerstone of Probe Gold's impact assessment application to federal and provincial regulators, and is another significant milestone in the permitting process, bringing the Novador Project closer to production.
I have a hold rating on the iShares MSCI Israel ETF due to attractive valuation but cautionary technical indicators. EIS has corrected 11% from its all-time high, with significant exposure to underperforming Information Technology and Financial sectors. The ETF is cheap with a P/E ratio near 12x and a PEG ratio of 1.34x, but high volatility and low liquidity are concerns.
