The is the emerging market manager strategy for the MarketPlacePlace relief at UBS
American exceptionalism dominates postpositions, movements exceed the rest of the global 20% last year only. However, an indicator, near Donald Trump, remains exceptionally weak: the balance of the industry. We hope you motivate the new costs centered on China. But that in China itself, we see that the largest market market movements take position in the rest of the global emerges for five reasons.
First, China exports its most powerful uninflationary impulse in at least 30 years: its export costs have dropped 18% compared to its posterior peak compared to a 5% minimization worldwide, according to our Research of the CPB World Trade Monitor data. . This genuine de facto de facto depreciation is helping exports to dominate in an invisible degree since the first days of WTO membership. Chinese export volumes have an update of buildings in 38% in the more than five years compared to a 3% building worldwide. This export wave is basically channeled in other emerging markets.
This goes beyond just redirecting Chinese goods destined for the United States. This will not have the dominance of Chinese exports over the rest of the emerging world market. Instead of a non-stop march through the production price chain and export excess capacity. The new price lists deepened the latter, with consequences for production and CAPEX in emerging markets. Tariffs would possibly be inflationary for the U. S. , however, the opposite will be true for those economies.

Second, the price lists would possibly increase a slowdown in Chinese imports that are already arriving. So by far, commodity imports have decoupled from China’s slowdown amid physically powerful infrastructure and production investment. Check out this resiliency. As such, while competitors’ output in China has so far borne the brunt of its slowdown, the next phase of slowing expansion will likely also affect product exporters. The fiscal stimulus will not compensate. It’s the tilt on admission, positive for the client and web corporations that dominate Chinese stocks, but with little spillover into broader emerging markets.

Third, with growth now slowing in large parts of developing economies, markets are in a weak position to navigate a potential Trade War 2.0. Outside China, where we see tariffs driving GDP growth to 3 per cent next year, emerging markets investment is stuck at 2008 levels as a share of GDP. Exports also have flattened out and foreign direct investment is failing to accelerate despite hopes of “friendshoring”. Stronger support in the form of monetary policy easing is needed but persistently elevated US rates limit the ability of emerging markets to provide this without disturbing currencies and, in several cases, credit spreads.
Fourth, tariff industries such as cars, steel, shipping infrastructure and the electrical apparatus constitute an upper component of emerging market actions, especially outside Chinese doors, which in evolved economies. This vulnerability is undoubtedly reflected in the evaluations of Chinese actions, which have not recovered from the War of Industry 1. 0, but not in the rest of the emerging markets where the evaluations are 30% higher despite a general equity performance.

Finally, emerging markets outside China also face more complicated advertising negotiations with Trump than ever. The composition of the American industry deficit has evolved significantly, so China now does not constitute “only” 27%, while the rest of the global markets of emerging markets is 55%. Defects with Mexico, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea and Thailand have more quickly, which brings more uncertainty.
Some investors believe that valuations already price in such risks after recent underperformance. We disagree.

The UBS Emerging Markets Risk Appetite Index stands roughly halfway between risk neutrality and risk euphoria — atypically strong relative to the state of global growth. Analysts expect 14 per cent earnings growth in emerging markets in 2025-26 compared with 4 per cent realised during the 2018-19 trade spat. The cost of purchasing protection against even half the renminbi depreciation seen in 2018-19 is in the bottom quartile of a 10-year range. Emerging market credit spreads across all ratings buckets have now compressed to the 18th percentile or lower of their distribution after the financial crisis.The biggest draw for emerging markets is high real rates and disinflation. This provides opportunities in fixed income, particularly currency-hedged local debt. But growth-sensitive assets — equities and especially currency — look vulnerable.
