(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/17/12 --
Performance for country constituents of the Russell Developed Europe Index through May 14th, 2012:
Ireland leads all country constituents within the Russell Developed Europe Index for 2012 as of May 14th, with a +13.3% return, followed by Germany (+10.1%) and the United Kingdom (+7.4%).
Ireland is a very notable standout in year-to-date performance among the so-called "PIIGS" of Europe, or Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain. The rest of the PIIGS have seen the weakest returns year-to-date within the Index, with Portugal at (-5.2%), followed by Italy (-7.3%), Greece (-8.7%) and Spain the worst performer at (-18.4%).
Within the Ireland constituent of the Russell Developed Europe Index, the Technology sector has led all sectors year-to-date with a +99.1% return, followed by the Consumer Discretionary (+22.1%) and Consumer Staples (+21.4%) sectors.
"Amidst all the anxiety over the future of Greece, Ireland has emerged as a bright spot among the PIIGS thus far in 2012," said "A key driver for Ireland's equity market in 2012 has been technology stocks, as illustrated by the performance of its Technology sector year-to-date within the Index."
