BRIC to the rescue?

When you looked at the 4 countries that make up the BRIC- Brazil, Russia, India & China- you will find that they are in different stages of recovery after sliding for the most part of 2011. Brazil's BVSP & India' BSE are the stronger indices as both have broken above their intermediate downtrend line as well as staying above its 200-day SMA line. China's SSEC & Russia's RSTI are a mixed bag, with SSEC having broken above its intermediate downtrend line but still trading below the 200-day SMA line while RTSI is above its 200-day SMA line but still trading below its downtrend line.

With signs that the Chinese economy may avoid a hard-landing, BRIC could provide the growth to lift the global economy out of its current doldrum.
