Brown Brothers Harriman: Emerging Markets Preview for the Week Ahead
EM got hit hard last week by risk-off sentiment that picked up in the wake of the FOMC meeting. Like the recent ECB decision, markets are rightfully focusing on the global growth implications of the dovish central banks rather than the liquidity implications. The US yield curve briefly inverted last week. If sustained, it would signal a likely US recession in the next 6-24 months. This is hardly conducive to risk and EM assets, which we see remaining under pressure this week.
