- Since this year, emerging markets have endured wars, oil prices of $100 per barrel, and rising US Treasury yields. Despite market concerns that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates, investors still believe that the rise in emerging markets is expected to continue. Another jump in oil prices, combined with stronger than expected US inflation data last Friday, further strengthened the reasons for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this week. Emerging market assets were impacted as a result. However, many fund managers remain confident. They believe that the credibility of policies in many emerging markets has improved, corporate profits are strong, and more importantly, the risk of a sharp rebound in the US dollar is low. Historically, a stronger dollar has been a major source of pressure on emerging markets. “I'm not seeing any alarms in emerging markets,” said Benoit Anne, senior managing director of MFS Investment Management.
