There was no change to the Franklin International Rotation Model this week.
International equities continue to burn bright so far in 2026, with the asset class most recently moving ahead of Domestic equities within our DALI rankings. The Asia-Pacific region has been an area of particular strength within international equities, and among the group’s best has been Japan. Those looking to gain exposure to the country could look towards the Franklin FTSE Japan ETF (FLJP), which holds an extremely strong fund score of 5.60 that is 0.78 point higher than average non-US equity. FLJP has been trading in a positive trend dating back to April of last year and has since completed four consecutive buy signals. The fund also holds relative strength over domestic equities, sitting in a column of Xs and an RS buy signal versus the S&P 500 equal weight. Sharp movement over the last several months has left the fund trading in overbought territory above the top of its ten week trading band, so those looking to add should wait for some pullback or consolidation first.
