Investors' overexposure to a single market brings diversification risk in a portfolio, leaving it vulnerable to losses in that economy and underexposes it to markets in other parts of the world. For the same reason, if you are currently managing a portfolio composed of equities from multiple global markets, you don't want your positions to be highly correlated, even at the expense of accepting lower expected returns. Generally speaking, low correlations across different markets is the main idea behind global portfolio diversification, and without it, there's no benefit to the rebalancing of internationally exposed portfolios. The correlation table belows shows 90 days (short-term) correlation pairs for indexes from 30 major world markets.
