What is the role of emerging markets in a time of recovery? Emerging markets represent an abundance of potential for investors and traders. It can rally the US and European indexes, but that might all be about to change.
Brazil is thought to be in good shape in the next coming years because of sustainable commodities like oil, iron ore and soybean. But sustainable commodities don’t always equal economic stability, just look at Russia. Low investment in Russian manufacturing and the inability to nurture free market fiscal policies led to the lowering of commodity prices and a financial meltdown in 1998.
China seems to be the strongest of all the BRICKM nations. A low value on the Yuan has allowed Chinese exports to skyrocket, passing Germany as the world’s biggest exporter, but so has the inflation rate. China has since tightened lending and made banks raise the amount of money in their financial holdings, and since China has accounted for 20% of the world’s economic growth this past decade what will be the future of China, and better yet the world markets, if the Yuan rises in value? China absolutely has to have a low currency in order to keep boosting its impoverished and developing country. How long will the Yuan stay low when exports are in the trillions?
But what happens if the China bubble busts? China accounts for 15% of Brazil’s exports. Instead of lifting the global economy it could drag down the local economy. Furthermore, will Chinese consumers continue to spend like they did in 2009? Obese China could not only effect the other emerging BRICKM nations but also kill commodity and manufacturing prices worldwide.
