CleaRank Financial AI analysis of IEFA
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
IEFA, the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF, is caught between its two moving averages. Trading at $96.55, the price is 0.31% above its 200-day average of $96.25 but 1.74% below its 50-day average of $98.26. The price sits at 70% of its 52-week range and is 4.82% below the 52-week high of $101.44.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 1.94% over the past month, fell 0.21% over the past three months and rose 8.09% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 47.4, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative.
- The two nearest levels to watch are the 20-day EMA, at $96.68 above the price, and the 200-day SMA, at $96.25 below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 47.4, which is neutral, and the MACD line is negative. Momentum is considered stretched only when readings climb above 70 or fall below 30.
- Because costs compound, it helps to see the numbers: IEFA's expense ratio of 0.07% a year means $7.00 is charged on every $10,000 invested.
Trend signals disagree. IEFA sits above its 200-day average of $96.25 but beneath its 50-day average of $98.26. Should the price close above the 50-day, both signals would point up; a close below the 200-day would push both down. For now the price is wedged between the 200-day SMA at $96.25 below and the 20-day EMA at $96.68 above.

IEFA price prediction 2030
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in IEFA, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in IEFA today could grow to about $12,691 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $19,782 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $8,142. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.40% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IEFA 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $123 for IEFA by 2030 in the base case, from $96.55 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $78.61. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IEFA's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $82.08 | $102 | $128 | |
| 2028 | $79.47 | $109 | $149 | |
| 2029 | $78.60 | $115 | $170 | |
| 2030 | $78.61 | $123 | $191 |
