Searching for emerging market winners

emerging marketsTo coincide with Funds Europe’s emerging markets report, Mithursha Kesevan looks at search activity in this asset class on CAMRADATA.

With high inflationary pressures across the globe, emerging market countries are angling for a recovery by keeping inflation under control at the risk of slowing down growth. Emerging markets are in a moderately solid position overall. As commodity prices are higher, this has improved the terms of trade for countries that export commodities. This is reflected in CAMRADATA Live. Our Emerging Market Equity universe was the third-most researched asset class by investors in August 2022.

Being in the second half of the year of 2022, tighter monetary conditions have been introduced in the UK, with higher interest rates being put in place. There is uncertainty in the market since there are doubts about whether the tighter monetary policy can tackle the higher inflation rate or whether it will lead to an economic recession.
