Graphic 5: Going long on EM now as underperformance persists?

This year’s underperformance of EM vs DM equities looks rather extreme by historical standards which could offer an entry point for a medium-term OW in EM vs. DM . Indeed, two previous episodes of close to 20% EM vs. DM equity underperformance, during the second half of 2015 and during April-Oct 2018, were followed by 10-15% EM outperformance in subsequent months.                                        @TME

Graphic 8: Power price surge could hurt margins and slow European equity rally

Gas and power prices plunged in Europe on signs this year’s relentless rally is prompting energy-intensive industries to curb consumption at a time when supplies started to improve.
