Why it matters

Emerging market equities and currencies appreciated following a reduction in market expectations for a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike. This shift in monetary policy expectations caused the US dollar to decline, providing a supportive environment for EM assets.

  • Investors pared bets on a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike this month
  • The US dollar fell in response to eased rate-hike expectations
  • Emerging market stocks and currencies recorded gains

Expected market reaction

The decline in the US dollar and eased rate-hike pressure typically improves the relative attractiveness of emerging market assets by reducing currency headwinds and lowering the cost of servicing dollar-denominated debt, potentially driving capital flows into EM equities and bonds.
