“Emerging markets are far from bulletproof. But they are better equipped than ever to counter the challenges [they will have to face] in the second half of the year,” reports Chiara Albanese for the Wall Street Journal, citing commentary from BlackRock portfolio managers in the firm’s mid-year update.
In terms of specific markets, weak currencies and declining commodities prices, among other factors, could continue to hamper markets such as Peru and South Africa. Structural funding issues could be problematic for nations such as India, Indonesia and Turkey, according to the Journal.
On the other hand, BlackRock sees opportunities in a pair of formerly beloved emerging markets along with one Eastern European country that has, at times, during the tumult proven somewhat sturdy.
“Mexico is a well-loved child and as soon as volatility calms down, investors will jump back in the market. The same is likely to happen for the Philippines and Poland in Eastern Europe,” said Benjamin Brodsky, global head of fixed income asset allocation and emerging markets at BlackRock.
