Screen on momentum first, valuation second, currency third.
- World Bank WDI: free country market cap and depth data to build your own screen.
- Siblis Research: valuation ratios by country so you do not buy momentum at any price.
- CapitalDrift (worldmarketstats.com): free weekly movers leaderboard; $10/mo turns it into overweight and underweight rotation signals.
- Trading Economics: fast country comparisons when you are narrowing the list.
- CEIC Data: premium macro depth for the final two or three candidates.
- IndexMundi: free country stats for a sanity check on anything unfamiliar.
