How Dollar Outpaced Oil Hike
Stocks of the emerging market fell into a long three weeks low. Currencies also debilitated as proceedings from last month’s meeting of the Fed Reserve in which it stressed incongruities amongst policy makers about the timing of U.S. interest-rate increases.
From the said meeting, several officials leaning against such a move because of the preview that it would deliver the wrong signal and others saying it might be warranted. Janet Yellen, Fed Chair, proceeded to calm investors last week by restating the caution in stabilizing policy after several officials had advised rates hike up more quickly than expected. The low U.S cost for borrowing will support emerging markets as it would mean that weaker dollar would equate also to riskier assets which would turn to be more alluring.
Eight our of the 10 groups in the industry from MSCI Emerging Markets Index retreated Wednesday which was mostly led by financial and health care stocks.
