Emerging markets-focused investors have had little to celebrate over the past year. Or for that matter, over the past decade. Now the prospect of Donald Trump's tariffs and trade wars has some considering abandoning them altogether.
The article from MSN discusses the challenges faced by emerging markets in 2023, highlighting that despite some positive economic indicators like lower inflation and a weaker U.S. dollar, these markets did not see the expected economic recovery or investment inflows. It points out that while there were moments of optimism, such as when the U.S. dollar weakened, these were often short-lived due to persistent issues like high borrowing costs, geopolitical tensions, and economic instability in key regions like China. The piece also notes that emerging market currencies and stocks underperformed, with significant capital outflows and a lack of significant foreign investment. Looking forward, the article suggests skepticism about the phrase "better luck next year" for these markets, as structural problems like high debt levels, political risks, and the need for substantial reforms continue to loom large, making a quick turnaround unlikely without significant changes.
