The Bloomberg website provides current values of many of the international stock indexes presented in Exhibit 13.9 at the website www.quote.bloomberg.com. Go to this website and determine what country’s stock markets are trading higher and lower today. Is there any current news event that might influence the way different national markets are trading today?
The J.P. Morgan website www.adr.com provides on-line data on trading in ADRs. Go to this website to view today’s total trading volume in ADRs and the year-todate trading volume. What are the top 10 individual ADRs by trading volume? By dollar value? Does there seem to be a similarity in industry (such as telecom) represented by the top ADRs, or are they from a variety of different industries? Recall from the chapter that the effect of industrial structure on international stock returns is an unresolved issue.
