Why does the performance of my International Mutual Fund seem to match the Dow?


Checking the Stock Market on a daily basis, I notice, when the Dow goes up big, my Int'l Mutual Fund goes up big, when it goes down big, my fund does the same... are int'l markets really that tied to the US market? Does it have something to do with the devaluation of my dollars on the int'l market?

Take at look at your fund's portfolio. Is it strictly foreign stocks or is it a "global" or ""world" stock fund?
