iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF Price & Performance (IEFA)

Invesco Ltd. dramatically expanded its holdings in the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF, increasing its position by over 800% in the fourth quarter to more than 200,000 shares. Other asset managers also added to their positions, reflecting strong institutional confidence in this international equity fund.12

The iShares Core MSCI EAFE IMI Index ETF (XEF.TO) closed Friday at $40.37, capping a 7.94% two-week rise. However, falling trading volume during price gains signals caution, and technical forecasts suggest a potential 2.61% decline over the next three months, with key support levels at $37.40 and $36.95.34

The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF shows conflicting technical signals: short-term moving averages indicate a buy, while longer-term indicators point to a sell. Its 10-day exponential average is positive, but the 50-, 100-, and 200-day averages suggest caution, reflecting ongoing volatility in developed international markets.56
