Emerging markets and the opportunity ahead

Summary Already Registered? Click here »

Despite persistent negativity in the economic outlook, emerging markets have several factors in their favor. After a decade of dominance from the US, fresh market drivers are being established.  We have seen a sell-off in US tech, in what some market watchers are dubbing ‘the revenge of the physical’. EM is an undoubted beneficiary of this theme. Emerging markets are home to the majority of the world’s resources, including energy resources, which will continue to be in short supply this winter, supporting current prices levels. In the longer term significant investment is required for the world to reach its de-carbonisation goals. Meanwhile, the appeal of emerging market demographics should become more apparent as structural growth opportunities get harder to come by in a tougher economic environment.
