The iShares MSCI Philippines ETF is up 4.13 percent for the year and down 4.34 percent for the last twelve months, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is up 12.69 percent for the year and 15.38 percent for the last twelve months.

Indian and Chinese equities have outperformed Philippines’ equities by a big margin—see table.

    Monday was a positive day on Wall Street, as major benchmarks jumped following an uneventful weekend, tapering their gains as the session came to a close. Some had feared that China might retaliate once again after the U.S. issued a second round of tariffs against the nation with the world’s second-largest economy, but the expected fireworks didn’t come, putting market participants more at ease. The beginning of earnings season in the next week will also distract investors from geopolitical issues, perhaps allowing indexes to climb further. Yet some individual stocks had difficulties that sent their shares lower. Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), Menlo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MNLO), and MGIC Investment (NYSE:MTG) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

    On Monday, the Russian RTS stock index plunged more than 11% in value, taking many of the “Russia stocks” most closely associated with the country along with it. Shares of both Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX) and Public Joint-Stock Company Mobile TeleSystems (NYSE:MBT) were down between 12% and 13%, while Veon Ltd (NASDAQ:VEON) has shed 18%.

    U.S. investors often avoid Russian stocks due to the political risks, sanctions, and currency issues associated with the once-hot emerging market. But despite those challenges, there’s one Russian growth stock that doubled over the past two years — Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), which created the country’s top search engine.

  • [By Steve Symington]

    Yandex N.V.(NASDAQ:YNDX)announced first-quarter 2018 results early Wednesday, detailing steady market share from its core search platform, healthy advertising revenue growth, and broad-based strength from its various other business bets. Yandex also boosted its full-year revenue guidance.
