With a falling dollar and no risk premium in the U.S., EMs could gain traction, but EEM might not be the best way to play it. EEM is, in my opinion, not a competitive emerging markets ETF, due to limited representation, high costs, and long-term underperformance. In my opinion, it's a “historical legacy”, still useful today only for short-term trades, thanks to its excellent liquidity.
While emerging markets have grown significantly, @Theotrade's Don Kaufman is taking a bearish position on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM). He doesn't see its rally sticking in the mid-term.
