Financial markets are dominated by uncertainties being created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the potential economic impact of the Fed raising rates and unwinding its balance sheet simultaneously.
The volatility and level of rates in EM are rising with the US but with differentiation: Asia and Central Europe are underperforming, while Latin America is outperforming.
The possibility of binary economic scenarios playing out as a result of the current uncertainties makes me pause for more clarity before making new trade recommendations.

The Indonesian rupiah has outperformed most EM currencies, particularly other Asian currencies, and has done so with low volatility in contrast with the rising volatility of the EM FX index.

While the rise in commodity prices is generating trade surpluses for now, the current account may turn negative from positive with a rise in imports accompanying the economy's reopening.
