Emerging market currencies to gain as U.S. Fed nears endgame

Most emerging market currencies are forecast to drift higher over the coming year as investors fret less about financial stability and snap up riskier assets, according to a Reuters poll of analysts who largely upgraded forecasts from last month.

While most of the currencies are seen gaining over the next 12 months, the March 31-April 4 poll of 60 foreign exchange analysts predicted volatility in the near term, and that only South Korea’s won and the Thai baht would recoup 2022 losses.

Emerging market (EM) assets have benefited from their exposure to commodities, which have held strong against a weaker U.S. dollar after the Federal Reserve signalled last month it was close to pausing an historically aggressive tightening cycle.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited (LON:FEML) is an investment trust that aims to achieve long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio made up primarily of securities and financial instruments providing exposure to emerging markets companies, both listed and unlisted.
