International ETFs extend lead over S&P 500 in 2026 rally

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
International ETFs like VEA and IXUS are outperforming the S&P 500 in 2026, driven by valuation mean-reversion and currency effects. European and Japanese equities are benefiting from fiscal expansion, a weaker dollar, and favorable earnings revisions. These low-cost ETFs provide U.S. investors with access to a diverse range of global stocks, enhancing market exposure beyond domestic investments.
