The guys at Bespoke came up with some lovely graphics. These 2 metrics as a whole is what the general folks determine if a country is cheap or expensive. I would think you need more than that. Perhaps a comparison to historical PE and Dividend Yield
PE wise Singapore is rather attractive. as we are heavy on 3 banks and a slow moving telecom, we never reach back to the highs of 3500-3800.
Was surprised by the prevailing dividend yield at 3.29%. I always thought its closer to 2.5%

Very interesting data. France looks due for a correction, which may happen soon given the perspectives over there.... It also makes me entertain the idea of diversifying from NYSE to SGX and invest in SG and SEA ETFs. Will start looking into it. Thx !

no problem Jacques. but take the data with a pinch of salt and its better to measure against historical.
