In the past few years I’ve often noted the tendency of China’s Shanghai composite to lead the US equity market. It led us down from 2007, bottomed before the S&P in 2008, topped in late 2009, signaled a death cross signal several months before the S&P signaled the same indicator (which subsequently sent the bears on a rampage), deteriorated noticeably in April (while US stocks were hitting their highs) and has since bottomed in July. The index has rallied 14% off its lows and at this juncture is providing a pretty bullish indication for US stocks.
