Is there a world in which the risk premium decreases for emerging markets bond yields, when considering Trumps aggressive posture toward most developing countries? When the dust settles there could be some countries, that if they play ball, may be able to secure the favor of Trump and those assets could make sense then, but not now. From Dominic Pappalardo for Morningstar: “emerging-markets debt from countries like Brazil and Mexico, where their local bond yields are over 13% and over 10% against a local inflation there of about 4%, there’s really an opportunity to increase value”

Global Financial Markets Update – November 22, 2024 The global financial landscape today presents a mix of opportunities and challenges. In the U.S., the S&P 500 continues its upward trajectory, driven by a surge in consumer stocks led by Tesla and high anticipation around Nvidia's earnings. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks face challenges, with Alibaba's target price being reduced amid concerns over market share losses. In Nigeria, the equities market is showing resilience despite monetary tightening. The Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) All-Share Index (ASI) crossed the 104,000 mark, supported by stocks like Dangote Cement, BUA Cement, and Transcorp Power. Sectors such as industrials, consumer goods, and oil and gas have driven significant gains, with the NGX Industrial Index rising by an impressive 78.29% year-to-date. However, rising fixed-income yields could temper equities' momentum, as investors consider them an attractive alternative amid inflationary pressures. Looking ahead, global markets remain sensitive to macroeconomic developments, including interest rate adjustments and geopolitical shifts. In Nigeria, market sentiment will likely hinge on the upcoming earnings season and continued stabilization of the naira. These insights underscore the dynamic nature of financial markets, offering lessons for investors to diversify and remain adaptable to evolving trends.

The US market continued to show outperformance in November, up +3.68% month-on-month (“MoM”), charting new highs against other markets. This led to global equities posting a decent positive return of +1.6% MoM. On the contrary, other regional equity markets, including Malaysia, fell (local equity down -0.66% MoM, China down -1.25% MoM, Eurozone down -4.46% MoM). Nevertheless, local bonds upheld their role as an asset diversifier, up +0.73% MoM, unlike the global bond market, which was down -1.02% MoM led by higher US Treasury yields.

Global equities continued to register gains in the third quarter of 2024 despite bouts of volatility. Softer economic data in the United States and higher interest rates in Japan led to steep declines in August. But interest rate cuts in multiple regions later in the quarter, along with a major stimulus announcement from China, supported a strong advance into quarter-end.
