Emerging markets index rose 1.5% after positive manufacturing data from China. Investing returns outlook for Asia-Pacific equities shows 7–9% upward potential, boosted by domestic demand and policy support. So says Peter Lynch, who made it his mantra while successfully managing Fidelity Investment’s Magellan Fund FMAGX between 1977 and 1990, averaging a 29.2% annual return and consistently outperforming the S&P 500 SPX. Lynch retired as manager at the age of 46, but at 81 remains vice chairman of Fidelity Management and Research. But the S&P 500 has proven its growth capabilities over time, thanks to the strength of American businesses, as Buffett says, so it's reasonable to be optimistic about a long-term investment in this index. All of this means now is a great time to follow Buffett's advice and get in on this Vanguard S&P 500 fund and invest regularly to supercharge your winnings over time. Gold prices held steady near $2,350/oz, bolstering mining stocks. Technical chart analysis points to short-term bullish momentum, potentially enhancing investing returns for metal producers.
