The Most Popular Investor Picks for Emerging Markets in 2017
These are the favorites for 2017.
These are some clear favorites among investors for 2017. All things Russian and Indian are popular, as are Brazilian corporate bonds and Mexico’s cheap peso.
The top calls for this year are centered on markets where the political climate is improving and assets are less vulnerable to external shocks arising from higher U.S. borrowing costs and President-elect Donald Trump’s policy announcements.
Russia
For investors that borrow in currencies with low interest rates and buy high yielding ones, Russia’s ruble is a top bet.
