Kimble said: “The Financial Select Sector ETF (XLF) is breaking some key support, and we all remember that the direction of banks was key back in 2007/08. The S&P 500 Index, emerging markets, China, Shanghai and Hang Seng are all on support that dates back to their 2009 lows. With markets all around the world, testing key support from the 2009 lows, at the SAME TIME, it sure is good news that our markets [US] aren’t highly correlated these days and that diversification is of real benefit!”
