Barron's Cover Story: Emerging Markets Roundtable: Today’s Pain Could Be Tomorrow’s Gain

Ted

FYI: Emerging markets have had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. In other words, the stocks have sold off sharply, and the currencies have been hammered as U.S. interest rates rise and China’s growth slows. The benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets index is 23% below its January high, after rising 34% last year. China’s Shanghai Composite index has fallen 35%. Turkey’s lira has lost 37%, and the pain could spread.

From Bloomberg:

The Shanghai Composite closed at a fresh four-year low on Thursday, cementing its position as the worst global benchmark. China’s market capitalization is down some $3 trillion, knocking it down one notch to number three in global rankings.
