<li>Juxtaposing valuations in comparison to history with the earnings environment of each market, we arrive at conclusions about which market should rerate and which should derate.</li>
<li>We posit continued rerating for Korea and Philippines. India should derate. HK, Taiwan, Indonesia and Singapore could rerate modestly. Malaysia and Thailand are cheap but seem destined to remain so.</li>
