[1/2] Condominium and office towers are seen on the mountain-backed skyline of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada September 30, 2020. The GDP report will be the last major piece of domestic data before the Canadian central bank makes its next policy decision on Sept. 6. The central bank has said it would study economic data closely before determining whether it raises interest rates further. The BoC has projected 1.5% growth for the third quarter, matching its second-quarter estimate. Some argue that the composition of growth in the second-quarter data, including the split between internal and external demand, could also be a consideration.

One country is coming up again and again as the clear investor favorite this year, and there are ways for traders to play it, according to Bank of America. The Wall Street firm said Mexico is "the market's darling," with the Indice de Precios y Cotizaciones (IPC) climbing 12% this year. "On top of that, Mexico is perceived as a country that will continue to benefit from nearshoring," he said. Regardless, for investors tapping into the surge in markets, there are several ways to play the rise. For example, the iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) is up by 20% this year, far outpacing the roughly 4% climb for the broader iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) over the same time period.
Closer supply chains to the U.S. are giving Mexican stocks a big boost to start the year. The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW) , which is made up of Mexican stocks, is performing even better — up 15.2%. EWW YTD mountain EWW in 2023 One key factor driving this early outperformance is "nearshoring," which refers to companies bringing supply chains closer to their home country. In this case, many U.S.-based companies are moving their supply chains to neighboring Mexico, which could lead to even more gains in Mexican stocks. Lippmann said the firm likes stocks directly helped by nearshoring trends, such as the real-estate firm Vesta and airport operator OMA .
This has already led to a manufacturing surge in Mexico and represents "a lifetime opportunity" to invest in Latin America's second-largest economy, according to Bank of America. "Nearshoring represents Mexico's best growth opportunity for the next 10 years and it is already occurring," Bank of America's Capistran said. The EWW is up 1.9% in 2022, easily outperforming the S & P 500. All five of those stocks are outperforming the S & P 500 this year, with FirstCash jumping nearly 30% and Sanmina popping 38%. PriceSmart and Ingredion are down 6.4% and 8.2%, respectively, in 2022, but that's still better than the S & P 500's 19% drop for the year.
