OPINION: Given the strong inverse correlation between the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. equities, the case for global diversification is as strong as ever, columnist MktwHulbert writes.

Will international stocks ever again outperform the U.S. market? It’s worth asking given non-U.S. stocks’ disappointing results in 2021 — the fourth year in a row in which they lagged their U.S. counterparts.

The fate of the U.S. dollar Perhaps the strongest single factor in explaining the relative performance of U.S. and non-U.S. stocks is the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. A weaker dollar helps the dollar-denominated performance of non-U.S. stocks, while just the opposite is the case when the dollar is stronger.

Value versus growth There’s another factor that currently is influencing the relative performance of U.S. and non-U.S. stocks: where the markets stand in the pendulum swing between value and growth. Though over the past century value has outperformed growth, on average, the past decade has been a major exception to that pattern. U.S. equities have enormously benefited from this exception. Only if you think this exception will continue would you want to reduce your holdings of non-U.S. stocks.
