Early in the morning of December 19th, the Thai stock market plunged over 10% thanks to talk of currency controls from the Thai government. This move sent many other emerging markets, from India to Hungary, also reeling. The volatility reminded many traders of what happened during the emerging market crisis of 1997, when a meltdown in the Thai currency sent out all sorts of shockwaves throughout the global financial system.
Luckily, whether bullish or bearish, now the retail investor can participate in such big foreign market moves through emerging market ETFs. This portfolio is made up of ETFs one can use to ride the waves that occur overseas.
