The prospect of interest rate cuts adds some intrigue as a weaker dollar could prop up international equities. That said, Direxion has four funds traders may want to consider for short-term gains.

Rate Cuts Could Spark These International ETFs

The likely start of interest rate cuts in America should benefit assets around the world, such as Brazil. Brazil's political noise is expected to decrease in the second half of 2024, benefiting investments. The Big Mac index points to a major devaluation of the Brazilian currency.

With the anticipation of rate cuts, the expectation that the U.S. dollar will fall is also an appended byproduct. That should fuel bullish opportunities in emerging markets (EM), including Brazil, whose equites are experiencing year-over-year growth.

Direxion Daily MSCI Brazil Bull 2X Shares aims to achieve daily investment results that are 200% of the performance of the MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index. The Brazilian economy faces uncertainties on the fiscal and political fronts, with factors like interest rate cuts and political disputes impacting the real-dollar exchange rate and investor sentiment. While low volatility conditions may benefit BRZU, the second half of the year may not be as bullish as the first due to already priced-in interest rate reductions.

The Brazilian economy avoided entering a technical recession in the opening quarter of 2023, with a growth rate of 1.9% largely beating market expectations. PMI data up to May so far point to sustained growth for the second quarter, albeit with notable sector divergence.

The MSCI Latin America Index has performed better than the MSCI Emerging Market Index cumulatively over the past 5 and 7 years as well as over longer time periods, buoyed by its natural resource companies. The region is well placed to take advantage of the opportunities created by the renewable energy revolution with 54% of global lithium reserves concentrated there.

Central banks across emerging markets have reacted to elevated inflation by significantly tightening monetary policy, in some cases, well ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. After largely synchronized rate-hiking cycles across EM, monetary policies could once again begin to diverge among individual countries.
