Monday Will Be A Big Day For These Two Emerging Market Nations
Keep an eye on the Chinese and Brazilian stock markets on Monday.
The two emerging market nations – both members of the BRIC group (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) – will each welcome a major new IPO to their respective stock markets.
The fact that they’re debuting on the same day is purely coincidental, but the story here is that both are very significant not only to their own countries, but could also underpin the emerging market area.
Let’s take a look at these IPOs in the context of the broader emerging market topic… the effect this often volatile but flourishing pack of…
29Jun2009 | Smart Profits Report | 0 comments | ContinuedEmerging Markets: 180,000 New Investment Opportunities… A Day
Investors in the West have a poor track record when it comes to the world’s emerging markets. In particular, they have a bad tendency to leave them just when they should love them. This is particularly true today.
Like equity markets everywhere, foreign exchanges in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia have taken quite a tumble over the last year and a half.
Yet this is not like the Mexican Peso Crisis of 1994 or the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Those downturns were brought on by poor government policies and financial mismanagement in these regions.
But these developing economies have since been rebuilt…
13Apr2009 | Investment U | 0 comments | ContinuedAnyone for a Little Chinese Stimulation?
The Chinese decided last week that they weren’t going to be outdone by anybody. If the Western world with all its governments and central Banks and World Banks and IMFs were willing to throw money at teetering businesses, then China would do the same. “Money’s no object,” rose the cry from Beijing. “Let the Yuan fly! We’ll show the Americans! Anything you can do, we…”
And so it went. The communists stole a play from the capitalists who stole a play from the communists. But when the plan was revealed, it actually proved a doozy: the Chinese were pledging relatively more…
12Nov2008 | Oxbury Research | Comments Off | ContinuedHow to Profit From the Emerging Markets Investment Banking Boom
Emerging markets are the place for investment bankers to wheel and deal during the next couple of years, as bankers in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America earn an increasing share of investment banking revenue.
Emerging markets share of investment banking revenue has increased both in percentage share and total value over the past few years. In 2005, investment-banking revenue from emerging markets accounted for almost $40 billion, or 16% of the global investment-banking revenue total. Those figures increased to just over $78 billion, a 21% share of the total in 2007.
Emerging markets’ share of investment banking revenue will…
21Aug2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedWith OPEC Planning to Cut Production, the Decline in Oil Prices May Not Last
Oil prices have plummeted 24% from the record high levels achieved in July, but the sell-off that sparked a stock-market rally over the last four weeks may not last since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is already gearing up to cut production.
OPEC, the cartel that controls roughly 40% of the world’s oil supply, pushed its production to the highest level in its 48-year history in July after being criticized for doing too little as the oil bull went on a year-long rampage – causing oil prices to reach an all-time high of $147.27 on July 11.
The production…
18Aug2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedSilver Prices Ready to Rocket; Four Reasons Why and Two Ways to Buy
Silver prices have vaulted an extraordinary 106% in the past two and a half years.
More impressive, silver prices have gained 33% since mid December.
Now, compare that to how U.S. stocks have fared since then: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has plunged 13.6%; The Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 10.5%; The S&P 500 Index has fallen 11.1%.
Like gold, silver is a safe haven from inflation and a weak dollar. The prices of the two metals often move parallel to one another. However, silver is poised to rocket – handing investors not only gains in our bear-market economy, but steeper…
7Jul2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedChina and U.S. Commence Trade Talks with $14 Billion in Deals, but Loose Ends Remain
The United States and China got their fourth round of economic dialogue off to a good start yesterday (Tuesday), with the announcement of $14 billion in business deals. However, several points of tension ranging from currency devaluation to investment restrictions must still be resolved.
Two delegations, one led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the other by Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Wang Qishan, met in Annapolis, Md. yesterday, kicking off a two-day summit set to ease tension and enhance cooperation between the two countries.
“The tone will be one of constructive engagement,†Paulson told the International Herald Tribune on Monday. “We’re going to…
18Jun2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedMake Way for the Emerging Consumer
Finally, Americans are getting some relief. They no longer have to carry the whole world economy on their shoulders…
But we’ll come back to this….
First, a look at Wall Street.
The Dow tumbled more than 200 points yesterday. Oil rose $5. The euro rose against the dollar – to $.155. Gold shot up $11. And the yield on the 10-year note fell to 4.07%.
No biggie.
So, let’s go to today’s two top stories:
The first from Bloomberg: “China exports unexpectedly grow 28%.”
And this from the Wall Street Journal:
“Global inflation’s bite worsens.”
What is going on? The world economy is supposed to be slowing down. Inflation rates should…
13Jun2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedWho’s Afraid of Emerging Markets?
China is the new Germany.
At the end of the Second World War, Germany was an “emerging market.” It was industrializing rapidly and producing brisk economic growth. Today, Germany is a mature “developed market” that grows slowly if it grows at all. Today, China is the new Germany. The industrial dynamism that produced Germany’s post-war success is moving to the East, piece by piece.
The Ruhr Valley was the heart of Germany’s industrial might. For more than 200 years, the smokestacks in this northwest corner of Germany pounded out the steel and iron that would form the backbone of the nation’s industry.…
6Jun2008 | The Penny Sleuth | Comments Off | ContinuedThe Drivers Behind Global Growth: If the U.S. economy sneezes will China, Brazil and other emerging markets catch cold?
In this week’s edition of TFN Smart Investing with Krista Das, Mike Burnick of Market Shock Trader reveals the emerging market ecomonies that will be the driving force of global growth. The following was taken from the transcript.
Krista Das: Fears of a U.S. recession and slowing growth in other developed economies such as Europe have investors worried about a spillover effect in emerging markets. In other words, if the U.S. economy sneezes will China, Brazil and other emerging markets catch cold?
My next guest says all aboard, it’s time to hop on the new emerging market locomotive. Mike Burnick is a global…
